How to fit xs side step/bars instructions?
Morning guys,

Could anyone help me with the fitting of some XS style side step/bars?, I'm looking for diagrams and also the part numbers for the bars that go from the steps to the chassis on my 90?

This confused me when I fitted XS sidesteps to my County 110. So I went to the dealer and looked under a XS to see how they connected.

The 2 bars which connect from the step to the chassis go to a hole in the chassis where there's no obvious threaded hole (on a County) ...because it's expecting a rivnut.

I bought 4 x 12mm (M8 I think) stainless bolts with nyloc nuts, and bolted straight thru the chassis (there's a corresponding hole at the other side of the chassis rail). Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

As long as we are talking genuine part:

90 has two (one per step), 110 has 4 (2 per step).

They look genuine... the support goes at the front of the step - (left of picture) - you can just see the tab it bolts to (the bottom of the front curved bar).

Factory or dealer fit is a rivnut in the chassis.

If yous isn't an XS, there won't be one.

You could either install a rivnut, or bolt right thru the chassis (which is what I did) using M8 x 110m bolts and nyloc nuts (with washers of course). Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

would these be the same as what would use on the front mounting points of the steering guard that goes through the chassis?
