Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between the MBU-03 and MBU-03BK models?

A: Both MBU-03 and MBU-03BK are 50mm bull bar mounts with 3.0mm stainless steel thickness and integrated cable slots. The primary differences may be finish details, specific design elements, or manufacturing variations. Both provide the same core functionality: secure 50mm bull bar mounting, cable slot protection, 3.0mm thickness strength, and stainless steel corrosion resistance. Either model serves the same purpose for mounting antennas, lights, and accessories on 50mm bull bars. If you have specific finish preference or vehicle colour matching concerns, contact us for detailed comparison.

Q: Will this bracket fit my bull bar if it's 52mm or 60mm diameter?

A: No, the MBU-03 is specifically designed for 50mm diameter bull bars. If your bull bar is different diameter (such as 52mm, 60mm, 76mm, or other sizes), this bracket will not fit properly and should not be used. Even 2mm difference (50mm vs 52mm) creates improper fit preventing secure mounting. Measure your bull bar tube diameter accurately with calipers or ruler before purchasing. Contact us with your bull bar specifications if you need help identifying correct mounting bracket for different diameter bull bars.

Q: How does the cable slot protect cables from damage?

A: The integrated cable slot provides protected routing path for cables (coaxial cable for antennas, power cables for lights) preventing multiple damage sources: (1) vibration wear from cables rubbing against bull bar or vehicle components; (2) weather exposure reducing UV, moisture, and temperature damage; (3) physical damage from cables getting caught on obstacles during off-road driving; (4) wind flapping causing cable fatigue and connector loosening; (5) tangling with other bull bar accessories. The slot channels cables through protected path maintaining secure connections and extending cable service life significantly compared to exposed cable routing.

Q: Can I mount LED light bars or only antennas with this bracket?

A: The MBU-03 can mount various equipment beyond just antennas, including: LED light bars (small to medium sizes within weight capacity), auxiliary work lights and spotlights, UHF/VHF antennas (most common application), small communication equipment, bull bar-mounted accessories with compatible mounting bases. The 3.0mm thickness supports typical antenna and light weight. However, verify your specific equipment: weight is within bracket capacity, mounting base is compatible with bracket design, and equipment dimensions suit bull bar positioning. For very heavy LED light bars or specialized equipment, confirm compatibility before purchase.

Q: Does the polished finish match all vehicle colours or just certain ones?

A: The polished stainless steel finish (metallic silver colour) is universally complementary across all vehicle colours - it's not colour-matched to specific paint. The glossy polished appearance with satin and gloss elements coordinates professionally with: white vehicles (matches chrome and stainless accessories), black vehicles (silver accent provides contrast), coloured vehicles (neutral metallic complements any colour), existing stainless bull bars and accessories (matches factory bull bar finish). Polished stainless is industry-standard for bull bar accessories specifically because it complements any vehicle regardless of colour, similar to chrome or polished aluminum accessories.
