Side Steps

[Frankie-Boy]

I recently bought a set of side steps that came off a Disco commercial, I've been trying to get them to go on my Disco 5 door, but there is nothing to fix them to.

Is there a significant difference in the distance between the outriggers on a commercial as compared to a 5 door, or am i missing some brackets that bolt to the main chassis rails.

The steps are made of round tubular steel with a checker plate tread.

Failing that, who has a 3 door or commercial Disco around Northampton I could have a look under?

Thanks Daz,

I've checked them all and nothing looks anything like the ones I have.

I think there is a bit of difference between 5 and 3 door ( i tried to lift a 5 door on a post lift  couldn't get it right a 3 door easy)

There is a 3 door at a garage along the wellingbough road I am sure the owner wouldn't mind you looking at it :lol:

Theres normally two large plates which bolt to the body mounts and to the chassis outriggers.   You then drill a hole through the outriggers and the plate and put a bolt through.

This is for a discovery 1 I imagine the commercial is the same. the disco 2 steps are the same as thats what I am using on my disco 1.

Picture is of the front drivers side bracket, body mount is the bolt you can see at the top of the pic.

hope that helps.

Frank,
that's the bracket I was talking about over on D.O.C.forum.

The one I keep forgetting is there.......until I hit me head again :twisted:
