The front one was simple enough, it was the rear one that was a bit of a pain due to the location of the mounting holes:




The red circled hole at the left side of the guard was the one I reamed. The other circled mount attaches to the diff pan mounting bolts and as you can see there is not a lot of room to get to it once the guard is positioned. But apart from that they are easy enough to fit and are a solid bit of kit. If you do fit them just check the clearance from the front sliding plate of the guard to the propshaft.

Thanks Brian much appreciated. The rear guard does look like it would have a good "sliding" effect to it. What I have currently is not really any different to standard IMHO

All guards are electroplated for corrosion resistance and full fitting instructions and bolt packs are supplied.

Make sure you really tighten up the bolts on the rear one, my diff started to leak as the thickness of the guard allowed the oil to creep up the threads.
Bit of brute force and they tightened up sufficiently. Thumbs Up You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things

Also worth mentioning is that the rear guards are different for 90s and 110s: it's a lot easier to fit one for a 90 than a 110. Peter

Now I bought a set for my old disco, don't get me wrong that are indeed bullet proof. The front one fitted no problem but the rear on fauled the prop shaft, there customer service was crap and very unhelpful, I had a mate cut the end off and reeled it a but shorter and it fitted nicely.

The wife road tested the front slider that good I had to drag it of a mountain like rock Thumbs Up Russell

I have mine to fit for a long time ...Bought straight from QT site...cheaper

But as the front ones need some welding, I have been delaying the job....Snigger ...I'm not able to do that and still waiting for a friend with the skills to come back from Angola!

And only very recently bought a set of decent tools to fit them...Maybe during this month I'll fit the back one...I'll post pics then too.... Regards
