Geojake Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi, apologies if this has been raised on here before but can't find it searching. I have a pair of the tubular fire and ice style steps that I want to put on my 90. The passenger side one goes on of course no problem (see image). Has anyone any images of how they modified the drivers side one to avoid mounting on the outrigger that the fuel tank is on? I'm certain people must have done this but can't find any good threads on it. Thanks Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 IIRC they were fitted to 90's with rear mounted fuel tanks, so there wasn't a fitting problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geojake Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 I know, that is the issue. I was hoping that someone on here may found a workaround. I can always attach the one support letter to the chassis and then try and find somewhere to weld a bracket to for the other but it won’t be easy.

ThreePointFive Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Fuel tank delete. There can't be too many ways around it, unfortunately. That said, put up a photo of the mountings and where it interferes. I'm sure the collective brains of the forum will find a solution if one is possible.

Could you drill and rivinut the chassis to have a bolted connection for the bracket rather than a welded one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think the only real plan of of attack is to bolt up what you can and see where it falls to make another bracket to attach the opposite end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geojake Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 I am currently not in the UK so can't take a photo in situ. One bracket goes into the sill top with a support leg into the already rivnutted hole (both shown in red). The rear support attaches at a 90 degree onto the outrigger where the fuel tank is mounted (in blue). Maybe need to chop the 90 degree on off and bolt a bracket to it like @landroversforever says. Idk. Was hoping for an easier solution! 😓 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausages Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I have some rock sliders which have a bracket going through the round outrigger then a bolt and large washer through the back of the outrigger to keep it in place. Not much help for the front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
