Has anyone got any tips/hints/tricks for fitting drive guards to trucks? I have a few prime movers where i'm working now and after spending 15 odd years on buses replacing these plastic guards and getting the brackets in the right spot is a new challenge for me

Thanks in advance

Al, just sit a couple of bits of 100x50 RHS on top of the Tyres, then sit your guards on the top of them while you mount the poles..

I'm actually been ripping those horrible plastic guards off today and replacing them with rubber flexi guards, Ive never liked fitting those plastic ones, even replacing the guard and leaving the brackets in place is a pain.
