How Annoying!
« on: October 14, 2006, 10:56:59 »
I've just picked up my parcel containing my rear step for the 90, but it's got the wrong size bolts in for the captive nuts.

Anyone know what size bolts I need to fit a "standard" fold down rear step - the bolts go into the underside of the rear cross member.

It's either a 1999 or 2000 TD5 90. (Probably a 1999 one, although first registered in 2000)

Cheers

Ben

On my 2001 110 there were no captive nuts in the cross member, twas a case of groping about behind and fitting a normal nut.

On the subject of captives though, theyre crap! Had to have a warranty repair on my '04' 90's crossmember but to the captive nuts pulling out because the metal is too thin, the step was only used by the kids too so not exactly heavy!
