How to Install Steering Protection Bar??

Click image to enlarge

Is that I only use the four existing nuts to fix it to the front underbody?

And which four nuts are they? Anything else to note?

And what is the use of the long bolt in the picture?

Thanks for telling Smile

you have all the parts you need

Thanks.

Sadly I just found out the nut on the extra long bolt is broken and cannot be screwed onto the bolt any more Shocked

The nut has a unique shape, like with a built-in ring at its bottom. Anyone knows its part number please? I bet it is 3/4" nut.

Or just a nut from a local hardware shop with a ring added to it will do? Pls advise as I duno much about mechanics. Thanks.
