tank guard fitting advice

(1/4) > >>

denviks:
Good morning all...i need some advice Yet again  :lol:  :lol:

i now have a tank guard, i thought it might be a wise move now that i carry the really flammable stuff in a plastic tank.......dont wanna loose any of it .


so anyway here's my little problem ( or one of them ).. the tank guard picks up on the orginal mounts for the tank mount. so i need to fit it while holding the tank in place. does that make any scence. i have to undo all 4 bolts and then put the guard in place over the top of the mounting strap and then re bolt it up.

has anyone fitted this kind of guard before.....if so how did you do it......i am on my own so have to it it by myself.....any advice would be brilliant......as for the life of me i cant see how... ( having a thick week  :lol: )

here is a pic of the guard

POSBORNE:
i'm in the same boat about fitting a tank guard on a discovery 1, so any help is much appreciated!

Hi Den

I have the same guard on mine, let the tank run down as low as possible, undo the bolts and it should stay in place (mine did), though it would obviously be helpfull if you have someone to give you a hand.

freeagent:
run the tank almost empty then drain the rest out of the drain plug in the bottom.
the tank will now only need to support its own weight, so shouldn't go anywhere...

make sure you re-fit the drain plug before you fit the tank guard, in case it covers it up!

stuntman:
2 ratchet straps should support the tank while you drop the carrier  :P
