Are we out tonight? where and when?
Dude your a legend! Sure i've got a few cages lyeing around here somewhere.
Mate of mine knows someone local breaking a Disco, fingers crossed its a 300tdi.
Are we out tonight? where and when?
yep i used all the bolts already in the chassisHi all,
My steering guard finally arrived today
Should have expected really, but no bolts supplied.
I do have a box of stainless bolts / washers from screwfix (item 89020).
But I'm presuming I should be using high tensile bolts (the guard has 2 recovery points included) otherwise not a lot of point in rated shackles and straps when I'm firing sheared bolts at the kind fella whose recovering me.
Or am I worrying about nothing?
Advice would be most welcome as i wanted to fit it tomorrow, ready for the 28th. If I'm correct about the high tensile bolts any ideas of a supplier in Colchester.
Thanks in advance,
Nick.
Cheers guys.
Once I've finished putting on 6 layers of clothes, loaded with 4 cups of tea I may venture outside.
Nice trip out last night, thanks for the pizza Geoff, much apprectated.
did a few new lanes to me, even found one with virgin snow...... cant wait untill the 28th now.....
Nick did you get the steering Guard done ok?
No....
All bolts bar one that need removing are removed. 90% of valance free. One end cap left to cut then up with the guard. Had to give up in the end as too dark, cold & the kids have gone hyper :doh:
I'm going to try and finish it before 10:00 tomorrow if not it will have to wait until the 27th. PLEASE don't let it be raining in the morning.
Thanks for your advice. I think i can now see where it all goes and the existing bolts all seem good - but you may still get a call!!!!
Right the steering guard inc recovery points is on.
The jate rings on the back are not going well.
I have managed to sheer off the bolt head on the outside of one, but i have managed to remove the nut - not that thats a lot of use on its own!
I think they will now require heating or possibly drilling out - neither of which i am setup to do so this could be a trip to Mansfield Motors - which is closed until the 4th
In short - no recovery points on the back. Anyway round this (no tow bar fitted) is this a deal stopper for tomorrow?????
