cw01 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi all, just wondering if any one has experienced fitting a wolf steering guard onto a normal 90 / 110. I have all the bits, i just dont have acces to my 110 at the moment. On the parts cat' it seems to bolt ( and the length of the bolts would confirm this) through the chassis. Are these holes already present on an ex mod(86) 110?, or would i have to drill them out. Any help appreciated, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101sean Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think it's a commercial off the shelf component so should fit existing holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 IIRC it's a Southdown4x4 guard, so should fit any 90/110, might have to move the tiedown ring/JATE ring bolts to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McS Junior Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 All but the very earliest were made by Mantec. As has been said, they are a commercially available item, so they should fit any 90/110. They are fitted as standard with Jate rings so should fit around them no problems. If you need any help/measurements/pics, give me a shout, I'm sure I can find a Wolf lying around somewhere Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stageonesimmo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Mke sure to get the spacers for the passenger side - they mimic the width of the panhard rod top mount bracket on the driver's side of the chassis and if you fit it without them (perfectly possible), the 'blade' wont fit...... Straight bolt on job, but be prepared for some really annoyingly tight bolts - especially the bottom one of the panhard rod mount bolts - ohhhh I sweated with that one!

cw01 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 BUGGER!!!!!!! I thought that when i orderded most of the bits from craddocks ( the only missing bits being the spacers) it would be straight forward. Guess i'll just have to order the 'wol£ part$' from a 'Land Robber' main thief, sorry i mean main dealer . I do have a contact at a Land Robber parts depot but even with his discount its still daylight robbery for anything XD/Wol£. Thanks for the heads up anyway stageonesimmo. Chris.

101sean Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 When I fitted a steering guard to my 110 it didn't come with spacers, I used a wheelnut which was right depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stageonesimmo Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Not a bad idea - a stack of washers would do the same thing if the real deal proves to as expensive as every other XD prefixed part! Let me have a look-see in the shed of much treasure and see if I can come up with any 'left-overs' from when I ftted mine..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw01 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Just went ahead and 'blind' ordered the spacers from land rover, 'through a man ' if you know what i mean. Also ordered the two bits that hold the door surrounds to the body. Haven't got a price yet, but they are on their way. . Don't worry though, ive padded the floor round the phone for when i do get the price. . Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw01 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Well got the bits today, 5 spacers (seems an odd number ) and the two brackets that hold the door surrounds to the body. Twenty beer tokens is all it cost me , I know its still dear for 7 wee bits of metal, but i was expecting it to be a lot dearer to be honest. By the way those spacers are solid big bits of metal, and to think i was just going to cut up some scrap copper pipe . Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 IIRC it's a Southdown4x4 guard, so should fit any 90/110, might have to move the tiedown ring/JATE ring bolts to fit it. Southdown did (do?) the guards for the older 90/110 variant such as the BATUS ones, but as above mantec do the Wolf Guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw01 Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, If anyone else is going to do this, then its dead easy, You only need the two big spacers for the n/s. If you dont have jate rings fitted then you will need the smaller ones aswell. Get two 150( absolute minimum) M10 bolts, 14 M10 washers, and two nyloc nuts. Replace the jate ring bolts with the 150mm M10's, and use 6 or 7 washers to space each side off of the jates. Simple. By god you were right about that lower bolt being tight, I had do use a 1/4" drift and mash hammer to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas pinkie Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Anyone out there got a wolf steerring guard they dont want, as my 90 wolf was missing it when I got it and I would dearly like to put it back on. CW01, if you have some spacers left over, I might be interested...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
