BritPart Steering Guard. GARBAGE

:doh:

I know I know, BritPart is ****Part.

Well the steering guard is **** for sure.

I ordered one (im an ass) and installed it.
Looks great.

However the mounting bracket on the passenger side has a hole for the steering damper to pass through, just big enough.

This means that if I take a hit on the guard and it moves ever so slightly then my steering is fuked!!!!

, how stupid is that? Almost as stupid as me for buying it.

I will be ordering someting else as soon as the money tree is in bloom again.

Live and learn...........................

Im in the Bahamas, the freight cost more than the steering guard.

Mine goes nowhere near either. It goes underneath. Didn't have to remove the damper to fit it.

Mine was the same but i only fitted it because it was free. i had to take a grinder to mine to get the RTC damper in. Putting the mounts on the inside is yet a another fine example of ****part's common sense and ingenuity. :doh:
