Not a question to McNamg himself, but how do Hummers pass ADR with those huge shackles on the front bumpers?

Bull bars
Bull bars must be designed and fitted so that the safety of the vehicle is not adversely affected. They
must be securely mounted and supported, and must not constitute a danger to other road users. Bull
bars must not obstruct the vision of the driver and should not project further from the front of the vehicle
than is necessary for its attachment. Bull bars should not add a significant load to the front suspension.
Bull bars must be free of sharp protrusions and all exposed sections of the bull bar and fittings must be
radiused and deburred. Forward and side surfaces should be designed to reduce the risk of injury to
any person who may come into contact with the bull bar.
Bull bars must not obscure any light. In particular, the visibility of indicator lights at all viewing angles
must not be reduced, and if so, additional lights must be fitted or the original light relocated in
accordance with the relevant legislation or Australian Design Rules. Surfaces of the bar that could
reflect light from the vehicle's headlights must be matt black.
Vehicles fitted with an airbag or manufactured to comply with ADR 69 - Full Frontal Impact Occupant
Protection or both ADR 69/.. and ADR 73/.. – Offset Frontal Impact Protection, can only be fitted with a
bull bar which:
• has been certified by the vehicle manufacturer as suitable for that vehicle; or
• has been demonstrated by the bull bar manufacturer to not adversely affect compliance with the
ADRs or interfere with the critical airbag timing mechanism, as the case may be.
Bull bars that comply with AS 4876.1-2002 provide a higher level of pedestrian protection. |

I stand corrected. However I would think you could call a tow hook eye a sharp protrusion if the edges havent been rounded and deburred

I'd say they're more protruding than recessed.
