hey mate, i recently made a bullbar for a 310 as well. its not too difficult to design depending what you want. (eg. winch mounts, if you have a body lift, tube or plate). i will take some photos of mine tomorrow to show you what i did and how i mounted it.

Hey mate i made a tube bar for mine its pretty easy as long as you can weld supports on and that its pretty simple. Where the hole is in the middle is where the winch is going to sit and the fair lead has to screw onto.

Heres a few pics of mine this was before i put the LED indicators on and put the number plate on properly:

and stripped down ready to paint:

If you want anymore pics mate just let me know and I can take a few more snaps

I'll put some more recent ones and put them up tomorrow i hope this helps mate.

Cheers,

Simon

some nice looking bars there fellas. i made mine out of 5mm plate so its nice and solid. have hit a tree off road with it and it came out fine

I am in the process of finishing a rear bar too. at the moment its a bit ghetto though.

sorry it took me so long to get back on to show you some pics of the sliders. These were build last min for a trip and are basic as to make. i mounted them the way i did so they could be removed easily (when i get round to doing a better job) and don't cause hangup problems along the chassis rails.
