Rock Sliders - To short for my 90?

(1/2) > >>

Mark Solesbury:
Morning

Ive fitted some Rocksliders to my 90 that i get from brookwells, but something doesnt seem right..

They have a bar attached, which fits into the round bar where the rear tub mounts, which is fine. On the front there is a bracket which fits onto the bolt which goes through the chassis/bulkhead. The bracket on the sliders is about an inch shy of the bulkhead, so i cant do it up tight as it gives under strain..

Any one got any ideas? All the chassis looks origional, and nothing looks bent

Xtremeteam:
mine were kinda like that & i just packed the gap with washers

Nick666:
Sounds like another shining example of shoddy manufacturing. Most of the stuff I've bought for the Landy has been a bit like that.

I spoke to mill services about mine and they take an average of quite a few land rovers. I had about 15mm of space and he said just to tighten it up. All my doors shut better now!!!

I think you will find it's usually due to landrovers manufacturing tollerances. Aftermarket suppliers could make a part to fit perfectly on one vehicle and it will be miles away on another so they make it 'sort of fit'.
