Wot Steering guard
wibble:
Cliff, thats far too clean, for a ton it would need to come pre-mudded!!
had a look at the scorpion one .. very nice, like the idea of having the recovery points on it as it saves buyin jates... no prices on the web site tho :( ,
Southdown one is 125 incl post.. lot o' money when Matt only paid £50 notes... not sure about re-modelin one tho, was it easy?
No bull or A bar fitted yet, lookin for decent one, loads o plasticy ones but not sure i rate these...?
no rebel one for the Td5.. findin it really hard to get off road kit for a series II disco.. do folk not get them dirty or wot :?: :shock: :? :?

be careful
I have a Scorpion winch bumper and 'had' a Rebel Steering guard.
Make sure that the guard attaches on the outside of the chassis legs.
Not the inside.
Otherwise it wont fit.
Hence why i bought a Southdown one :wink:

Rebel A-Bar will fit with the Rebel steering guard but you have to do a few 'modifications'.
I rang Rebel and asked if their A-Bar would fit with the steering guard. The one with jacking points. Yes I was told, you may have to 'ease' it in with a block of wood but it will fit. Great thinks I, promptly sent off the dosh. Two days later recieves said A-Bar and goes to fit it.
Eventually I realised that the only way it would fit was by grinding off the jacking points and bending both the A-Bar fixing brackets so it would spring between the mounts for the steering guard. Wouldn't have minded but some time earlier when I fitted the steering the guard the hole centres were a good 5mm out of line with the front mountings and needed extra slotting to line up with the front bumper mounting bolts.
To say I was annoyed, on both counts, would be an understatement.
Got it all to fit eventually but it cost me a lot of messing about and re-work of the original items . . . . . which I was told on the phone would fit straight on. What a load of b0ll0cks. Why couldn't they just say, 'no mate, it wont fit properly'. In the end I lost the jacking points and the brackets for the A-Bar now cover the recovery loops on the steering guard as well. Good job I can weld, sorted my own solution since.
I was not a happy bunny :evil:
What do they say . . . . . BUYER BEWARE

Try Discoparts, as Mark has a few items that may be of interest. :wink:
BTW, I got my guard for £60, from the 'For Sale' pages ... :D
