Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Today I tried to fit my rock sliders but found a huge gap between the inner sills and the inner face of the rock sliders ! It just doesn’t look right to me! they are too far out but to get them butted up to the inner sills I will have to trim the lower bracket of the bulkhead were it bolts onto the outrigger has anyone else had to do this? Otherwise there is a huge gap between the sill and slider. Also is it just the bolt tab at the front that holds the slider firm into the tube? Or has anyone else devised a method of securing the mount to the tubular outrigger? Any help gratefully received. Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got two, one bulkhead and one tubular per side were is the other and how? Anyone......please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 most likely 3 attachment points for 110 sliders, AFAIK on a 90 it's the bulkhead bolt & the tubular outrigger that carries the roxk slider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ralph, As you can tell she is a rather different vehicle you saw two years ago:rolleyes: In fact its like "Trigger's broom off only fools and horses" Have you seen the images? Do the they look right to you? or do you think I need to trim the bulkhead fixing a bit? I dont know as the fixing seems to be prety feeble for the tubular mount... what stops it being ripped out of the tube? And the gap surely thats not right is it? Sorry to be a pain but I just need a bit of advice Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 not sure I'd want to trim the bulkhead/outrigger bracket at the front end, are there any clamps or bolts to secure the tube into it's mate ? did you get these new or used ? & ant idea who made them ?

Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 They look fine. Even with the huge gap between sill and rockslider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Even with the huge gap between sill and rockslider? Yes. Why do you want a close fit there? The gap makes fitting much easier and is easy to jet wash the mud out. The sliders being proud of the bodywork will also offer a little more protection when rubbing shoulders with trees.

I gues they just look odd without the front wings and the rest bing finished. Thanks to all for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Series motor and home made. but I think it would be very difficult to get them to sit flush with the bodywork - even if you make them yourself. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les. Les thanks for the reply. Its an early 90, but from the replies I have had you are right most people have said they look ok and normaly sit away from the inner sills anyway. The problem is as its my first project I dont have the wealth of experience to know what they should look like as they are'nt covered in any manuals All the best James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Mine have a gap like that and were professionally fitted. it makes it easier to jetwash around them, but you do get stones stuck in the gap now and again.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
