Heh, heh. I'm not sure about looking better - they're not exactly on show after all - but they're done now so, barring any issues, they'll stay as they are now Laughing Darren

It does seem to make more sense to have them in the latter position, giving a little more clearance underneath. Also tucks them up out of sight a little more. I think they look better as you have them now LRA. Who would have thought such a discussion could develop over side step supports?! 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Good day all in all.

Postman delivered:
Defender2.net t-shirts... LOVE IT! (Will be wearing it until I get forced to take it off).
2x Free Eastnor wrist bands.

I also received a second hand front axle for rebuild.
Stripped down
The main part has gone to a friend for repair (Diff pan cracked) and reinforcing.

This afternoon I got the RH station stripped, cleaned and rebuilt with new seals throughout, Black Diamond discs, EBC pads in Ap calipers rebuilt with S/S pistons and a KAM HD flange to top it all off.

Eastnor tomorrow and then the LH station on Sunday (with a break for the F1). Hope to have the Ashcroft ATBs through on Tues/ Wed for full build and fit Mr. Green ... then just the rear to do Cool

Hand painted smoothrite gold. so (From a distance if you squint) they look like the original zinc type stuff coating.
Literally just come in from totally finishing them.. all assembled, bolts painted, new pads and new pins/springs fitted too. look really nice.
