LR008247 steering guard parts help.
Hi all,
I bought a used one of these as a bit of a project to do up.
Just looking at gathering all the fixings together and a couple of bits have me stumped - see pics.
I think one is just a large, thick M12 washer.
Not sure about the other though.
Anyone got any clues?
Many thanks in advance Bow down

 Cheers,
Andy...

I removed and refitted the (similar) Adventure steering guard when dinitrolling the chassis. From memory, I think the smaller one is effectively a sleeve, as the hole in the side bracket is larger than the diameter of the bolt and the larger one is just a large washer.

I'll try and take a photo of the bolt head tomorrow.

Maybe the hole in the bracket is oversized to allow fitting to left hand drive vehicles? Current Steeds:

2003 BMW F650 the Hack
2000 Elise
1992 Ducati 888 (no longer in bits, yahoo)
1990 TDR 250 (in bits again)
1988 TDR 250 (no longer in bits) and for sale

thanks Doublea,
I think that's exactly right and what I bought in the end.
I had to stick it in the local garage to get the work done as (is usually the case with my Defender) even the simplest things turn into a major project and I just couldn't get any of the existing bolts free Big Cry
Anyway it's fitted and looking good Smile Cheers,

STEERING GUARD FIXING KIT
Hi Andy,

Just bought one of these guards for myself and like you struggling to get a fitting kit together.

I don't suppose you would have a definitive list and maybe a supplier for them please?

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick, such a long time ago Smile
I bought all of the parts using the diagram at the top of the page as my shopping list, with the info from Doublea.

Nuts, bolts and washers all came from here -
https://www.accu.co.uk/en/
Probably not the cheapest, but decent quality and fast shipping.

I think some of the sleeves came from eBay.

Mine was well used before I got it so I also replaced the 8 nuts/bolts that hold the frame to the guard as they'd seen better days.
I plastered the frame in Antirust primer and dinitrol too.
I also heavily lacquered the guard both sides and it's held up pretty well.

Oh, also, if you don't have the instructions, I can email them to you or they are downloadable from the LR TOPIx site.

Hope this helps,
Andy... Cheers,

I know its quite a while ago for you and might not have these to hand. I looked on the TOPIX site but cant seem to find them? If its not too much trouble id be very grateful. my email is (removed by admin for safety)

Hi Martin, i dont suppose you know the size of the 8 bolts that hold the alloy guard to the metal frame? From photos they look like M8 HEX head button's? i dont have the guard as yet and am trying to pre order all the nuts and bolts needed for the fitting.

cheers
david
