Are you sure you're usng the right holes, Romadog? The DB tow hitch shouldn't interfere with the step at all. It uses one threaded hole next to the hitch and one plain hole that needs a nut and bolt.

Somethings not right there Shocked Although I seem to remember there were spacers on my fold down step.

Thanks Guys, I have the left hand spacer welded to my chassis, with the thread in it. The DB hitch is bolted to more, unlike yours LRA. Cant remember seeing the hole where yours is fitted (will re check), but the right hand bracket can move along the shaft and thought that this was ro allow for different hole positions ???
My chassis by the way is a galvanised one, early Richards Chassis I was told, with deep chassis rails.

Ah, that would explain it then. Sounds like you haven't got the correct holes for the step, which was a fairly recent addition to the design. Darren

Great pics Thumbs Up Love the Thorny Devil on the bonnet especially, he's cute in a scratchy sort of way Very Happy[/quote]

thanks zag man... Thumbs Up Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...

'Wow...! What a ride!
