OEM sidesteps fitting.

Anyone know what type of rivnuts I need for fitting these? Part number or size would be helpful.

Thank you.

Off the top of my head I think they are 8mm - will have a look tomorrow
If you look closely you can see the rivnuts in this pic - nothing special about them should be able to get them locally without Land Rover adding their lots of pennyworth
If you are having trouble sourcing the right ones I may be able to assist but need to check properly

Thank you for the replies 👍The bolt kit from landrover is £100. Ebay sounds like the answer.

Are these the ones I need? Do I need a hand rivet gun too?

I bought a rivit tool of eBay for about £8. A must to fit the steps 👍 2013 hse auto, black, almond leather, exnon lights, factory privacy glass, exhaust finisher, rear boot spoiler, mud flaps. Body door side moulding and steps.

I've fitted a couple of pers of steps, the rivit tool is like a spanner and you use it with a rachit to depress the rivit. YouTube have info that you can follow. 2013 hse auto, black, almond leather, exnon lights, factory privacy glass, exhaust finisher, rear boot spoiler, mud flaps. Body door side moulding and steps.
