    Guys I think there's a clue in the sig.
    If the "Lord" his highness can bear w/me - a little 'final adjustment' is needed for just about all parts on a Rover - at least that's my experience and I know a lot of the guys here have the same issue. It's not a problem - it's a consequence of the orig. manufacturing methods (no robots w/laser guidance back then) AND 3rd party manufacturing has to average the tolerances.

    However, sometimes parts fit perfectly like my HD Ike front bumper - it lined up better than the orig. factory part. Probably just luck though.

    By the way - if you need instructions for these parts you'd be better off w/ a different vehicle.

    Quadruple on the chill pill though.... Otherwise your Rover is gonna make you blow a head gasket or something!

    Just a thought...

    Cheers!

    I think the 88 ones were delivered. Those of us wanting 109 ones are still waiting.

    I believe this is why British repair manuals read "Fit" instead of "Install"

    Sills is probably a better way to refer to them - the only thing that would slide if rocks were involved would be the aluminum off the steel.

    Yes- I think if you even just think about going offroad with them they bend.
