Also, do they bolt to the outriggers in front or behind? The outriggers have rolled edges which would make it difficult to connect the sliders solidly if placed aft of them, but I'm just checking that I've not missed anything.

To answer your question the sit flat on the unrolled side of the outrigger, but it is sometime tricky to drill through on that side, so you have to drill through and hope they line up,

Also trial fit them before any drilling, mine needed a tweak as the outrigger wasnt in the right place

Disco Matt:
Thanks again - I will find some way to drill through from the flat side of the outrigger as it's a bit irrepairable if you get it wrong!

Would "tweak" mean "good belt with a big hammer"?  :lol:

It was a bigger tweak that that, It was ground off and rewelded, but it now fits nicely

Disco Matt:
Slight change of plan after "a few holes" turned out to be "we're rebuilding your sills with box section"! The chap doing the welding is going to have a crack at fitting them at the same time as he's got a lift and is more experienced with metalwork than I am.

Feeling bad now, I've only managed to fit a handful of the mods myself! Chequerplate is next, I might manage that. Only a small drill bit and some silicone around the edges of them to stop mud getting in...
