Sunray-I40 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What's the 'recommended' method of fitting the lower edge of wolf light guards to the headlight / nose panel? Rivet the plastic clip or secure the clip with a rivnut? Do the plastic clips last - should they be replaced with something more durable? I have wolf light guards but they are going on my defender 300tdi 110 so I'm not worried about 'wolf authenticity'! I plan to use a rivnut and bolt for the top light guard hole rather than the turn-stud and flimsy metal clip -unless there is better advice!

pete3000 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 think i used a rivet with a slightly bigger washer on first to spread the squish. The thinking was the ali to ali would be ok and couldn't get to the back of the panel easily. my mini p clips were rubber covered aluminium so no worries with strength.

pete3000 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 came with my guards from first four off road, although you can get them from lots of outlets aluminium or stainless, google metal p clips http://www.hellermanntyton.co.uk/site/products/clips-and-clamps/alu9c/211-15090 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
