Default First Time Discovery Owner - Question on Installing Running Boards

Just bought my first Discovery 2 (2001 SE7) and can't be happier and more frustrated!!!!!

The Good: Purchased Britparts Running Boards (PN DA8534) from Lucky 8 which arrived today!

The Bad: The instructions that came with the Running Boards are pretty much worthless. Pictures are carppy and the instructions were written by someone who English is not their first language.....

My Question: Can anyone direct me to any videos or instructions that would help me install the running boards?

I have searched Lucky 8, AtlanticBritish, Rover Parts, the entire Internet and the Forums here with no luck....

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

They came in today (Saturday) was going to call Lucky 8 on Monday, but hoped that someone might have some words of wisdom so I could complete the job before Monday....

Just sit on the ground with the pieces and see where things should go -- it can't be that hard to install.

I am fairly good with mechanical things and did just that for two and a half hours today...…………….

Should be a very simple job, but with the parts supplied and **** poor instructions, it was an exercise in frustration...……….

Thanks ACG

The Britpart DA8534 Running Boards are the Chevron Running Boards, but the brackets are a completely different configuration....

Will be calling Lucky 8 first thing Monday
