I'm waiting for rack (shipped from U.S) but i got my ladder. Today i put it on the car, and i got a small question about fixing. The set that i was bought was new with two large bolts and manual. I put new bolts , replacing the two top OEM nuts. When all was mount i look that the top plate have small clearance from tire, the lower plate touch the tire - so the ladder have a little backlash. The picture below illustrate it : Could you tell me how it looks in G4 Challenge edition ? They have some clearance between ladder plate and tire? I use all mounting elements that i have (two bolts, two screws with washers). Also many of G4 freelanders have nice looking black screws to secure the ladder - is they are a locking nuts with caps (like in alloys) or something else ? Thank you for any advice or information :) P.S If somebody looks for G4 equipment (ladder,rack deflector) I have information that the last one new set (in boxes) from '03 challenge is available to buy in U.S. if interested - let me know :) Black '00 Freelander\| Building Black G4 Replica ;)

When the ladder is used and you step on the rungs below the fixing bolts the curved plate touches the tyre preventing the ladder from moving any further. When you step on the top rung the same applies with the top curved plate. The bolt heads were covered with black plastic caps on the G4 Challenge vehicles.
