Rivnuts for me, Saves trying to be like stretch Armstrong holding a nut on the inside.
If you haven't got any helpers that is.

I prefer the round tubular type ones but I reckon I've already got a bit too much weight in and on my Landy. :eek:

Me too but these were an Ebay bargain about 18months ago. :eek: Thought it was time I got em fitted.
 
bolted mine on, but you have to be careful as the inside of the rear tub is angled where the nut sits, and it can throw the bolt off, stopping the head from sitting flat with the slider
 
Ere can anyone see the problem with these?? I got the pic from Google images.

The angle on the ends is wrong way. you won't be able to open doors once fitted. :eek: As the ones on the back tub will be overhanging the doors instead of other way round. :confused:

The pic doesn't show that ..
 
Both ends on the door sections should slope same way (Backwards) so that they don't snag at the front and they Overlap the slope on the tub sections. Like these.

Ahh, so the tub sections are sloped wrongly .. hopefully they were cheap .. ;)

Maybe put them the other way round so the overhanging bit faces backwards or grind/saw/file the angle properly .. :)
