[alison67]

hope im in the right thread here

we bought our first freelander and wanting to put side steps on
we bought them with fittings and everything

but the problem is the nutserts and getting them in without turning round

husband has been tryin now for 3 weeks and losing his temper fast :roll:
is there a way any one can advise a good and quick way

Tripitaka did give us an idea on how to do them and said if we was closer to him he would do them  :D

why you need side steps tho freelander aint that high

[alison67]

for the little girl and also to make it look good

next is for him to get light guards :shock:

[mud-club-matty]

well i dont understand what bits are spining

If you've put Rivnuts in and they're spinning it means you haven't squeezed them up enough. Sometimes you have to have two squeezes on the riveter handle to full clamp the panel.
