The steering guard uses M10 or M12....

If you can wait, I can bring my rivnut gun to the rolling road day, is only 2 mins to fit a pair of rivnuts...

My nearside suffered a bang when dropping off a rock about 4 years ago.
It's now got a three finger size hole rusted through at the rear mounting point.
Seems they need repainting rapidly if you do bang them on something.

If I may make a suggestion, take off the bungs on the ends of the main tube and wax oil inside and every time you power wash take the bung off again to drain as water makes its way inside through where the checker plate is riveted. Just replacing mine next week as mine rusted through from inside. Hope that helps.

Regards Dennis.

Just removed rusty steps and my apologies, water not entering where checker plate riveted but at the top of the tubes where fixed, they are open so power wash and dunking in muddy water just filled it up and nowhere to go but rust.

Regards Dennis.

Going to revive this thread in the hope that someone would be kind enough to measure their support bars so that I can make some Thumbs Up
Cheers

They look complete in the pictures.

The front bolts along the inner sill, the stay bar to the chassis and then the rear bolts in to two existing bolts and finally there is another bolt hole just below that. Stu...
