Guest diesel_jim Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've got an axle and steering guard that was originally on my 200Tdi 90, but now i'm building myself a Td5 110, and have a late 300Tdi front axle on it, with the wider radius arms and antiroll bar mounting brackets. I plan to run with front and rear antirollbars, but, i've come unstuck trying to fit the "non rollbar equipped" guard in place. currently the axle case is sat in my garage upside down on axle stands, with the radius arms and rollbar fitted to it, and i'm just working out how to "adjust" (read: grind and weld) the guard to fit. Has anyone got an axle guard fitted to an axle with antiroll bars? any chance of a picture or 2? i'm wondering about putting two big "slots" for the balljoint bits to poke through (i'm assuming the rollbar mounts at the lowest point and the balljoint bits go "up" to the casing? if i try it the other way, it looks like they would hit the diff) and also modifying the"Y" shaped brackets as they foul the rollbar mounts as well.

GBMUD Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Try PMing TJ101 as I am sure JST told me Tim was running the guard from JST's 200Tdi on an 06 Td5 this last weekend. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ101 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Jim OK, just looked at JST's guard which is on my 06 90 TD5, Unless it has already been modified, it fits straight on with the anti-roll bars still in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Looking at that last picture, better check the roll bar bushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Cheers for that TJ.... that explains why mine won't fit... mine is an earlier welded together jobbie... the bolt together ones like you've got are a slightly different shape and don't interfere with the rollbar brackets... Hmmmm.... anyone want to buy two earlier lower guards? should be able to afford a new one then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 OK, i've decided to try and sell the guards i've got and buy a new (proper) one for my axle, so, blatent plug here, there is a two piece guard, steering and axle on ebay, and also just a lower axle guard up for grabs. cheers!
