stearing gard fitting

[lurch_917]

could any one tel me how easy it is to fit a stearing gard do the legs go outside the chassis rail or inside

Its relativey straight forward.

unbolt the bumper bolts and steering arm bolt. place inside chassis legs and push the bolts back through to hold it then tighten them all up.

thanks didnt know if it went inside the chassis or out side as mines a three part didnt want to put the uprights on the wrong side and have to start again

[simon15]

not sure on a 3 piece one.

best bet is to line the plate up underneath and see roughly where the uprites site in relation to the legs

As simon says, it's a matter of trial and error some may be different to others. You may have to remove the existing towing eye too. It's no great shakes though. Get underneath with the parts offer them up and see where they fit. Another pair of hands will help whilst you fettle it into place.

Picture please when it's done

Hiya,  some go inside the chasis some go outside the chassis. you will need an extra bolt (or studding) for one of the rear mounts (some companys send you one with there guard, mine didnt)
If it goes outside of the chasis, the bolt that goes through the steering drop arm can be a real bitch, In my case I had to replace it by the time I had belted it out!
I replaced it with a length of studding.
but all in all not a difficult job.

If it goes outside the chassi then the rear mounting on the driver's side will be cranked to go over the outside of the steering/panhard rod bracket.  If it goes inside bothe side panels will be flat.

On Blue the 'spare' mounting on the passenger's side had an earth wire in it anyway, not sure if that's original.
