On the sill bracket? Probaly right but looks flimsey. My 110s steps are attched strait to the outriggers like rock sliders.
 
I'll check out mine tomorrow and let you know how mine fit on.

I'm settled now with a nice glass of wine and its too cold to go out now.
 
they do look a bit on the flimsey side....hmmmm and one looks bent...medusa if ya can take a gander sometime....and maybe take a piccy...:kiss:
 
Right heres some pics. Those brackets are definately not for the steps, the aluminium sill is bolted in place by those brackets.
It actually looks like the frame of the step slots into the U section of the sill support and is bolted straight through. It is very substantial and has an addition tie rod which bolts directly onto the chassis.

You can see the sill bracket in the photo above
