hi all new here looking for a bit of help just got a cheap steering guard off ebay for my disco and got no idea how or were to put it and i no it go's on the front but were abouts on the chassis

Skibum346:
Depends very much on the model of guard but typically the two bolt holes holding the front bumper on and one of the holes that secures the steering arm brace (name?).

If you line up the front you should be able to figure out the rest.

Good luck and welcome!

It does depend on what you are doing though. I have the plate type guards on both of my 110s. The road car only gets to do a bit of laning, and setting up on safaris and hillrallies. The one on the racer gets some serious abuse and has some nice dents in it now, I'm happier that it is taking the impacts rather than the steering components.

I have no interest in putting either of mine into deep mud pits and needing to be recovered backwards which is where they will cause a problem, acting as a plough.

I see no reason, for my use, to remove them, though I do plan to swap to one of Free Spirit's tubular guards on the racer, and maybe put the Matt Lee one onto the road car as it's prettier than the cheapy.

YMMV
