Stainless Steering Stops

[Z.G]

Came up with these the other day when working on my 110 rebuild. The genuine ones are pretty pricey and they weren't offered on all Defenders. I designed these with my metal fab shop in Maine and had them made with slotted holes so that you dont have to endure removing the swivel bolts entirely(an annoying job). These can be added to any Disco, RRC, or Defender to prevent the stop bolt from bending, and they're less than half the price of genuine ones.

Bracket Steering Stop Stainless PLY347 | Rovers North - Land Rover Parts and Accessories Since 1979

Steering stop limiters, which are installed on the forward two swivel ball bolts, provide a strong surface for the steering stop bolt to hit without bending. These brackets were cleverly redesigned to no longer require the full removal of the double hex swivel ball bolts during installation...

Way cool, thanks for sharing 👌🏻

Genius.
Most trucks I've seen have nothing.

Agreed, I've only seen it on a few. It's only called out for a certain axle numbers

They allow the steering stop bolt to be set much shorter, and is overall a more elegant way to stop the bolt head than having it run into the corner of the swivel ball flange.

Decided to try a set. Shipped out very quickly, got them yesterday. Took all of 1 min to install, lol. Such a great design. super beefy, very well cut:

if I had my druthers and could make just one recommendation, I’d suggest cutting the tongue 1/8” longer for a little better bolt engagement if not using the specific large-head limiter bolt. Regardless, I’d get them angain and strongly recommend them if yours are missing! Thanks for a thoughtful design, Zack!

edit. Poop. I just checked my other Defender and realized I don’t have them there either! Guess I’ll be ordering another pair! (Zack— feel free to send them out, charge the same card, lol!)

Good call, I will see what I can do to revise for the next generation!

I second the longer tabs.

Got the shipping confirmation for the second set— thanks, Zack!
