I think you’ll find that this is an urban myth - I have come across several parts that have been deleted (other manufacturers - not Mitsubishi) before the “10 year rule”.

EDIT:
The Act simply states;
“Manufacturers or importers guarantee they will take reasonable steps to make spare parts and repair facilities available for a reasonable time after purchase.”
There is no mention that “a reasonable time” is 10 years.

Good thing abt ECB bar is no cutting of bodywork. But if you want an OEM bar they are available on ebay at fraction of the rrp, abt $1K

Good idea! There’s some new genuine ones on eBay too like littleriver was trying to source.

I just wish there was an alloy or poly winch bar so I can get some weight off my front axle. Not a fan of the xrox bars, I've onlly hit kangaroos on the corners of my cars, never in the middle.
