Guard Irons run inside the rails but they will need a double bend to look perfect.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3079411123321019478.post-35185727752043509152014-08-14T20:13:27.969+01:002014-08-14T20:13:27.969+01:00Oh yeah, if I'd read further on in the instruc...Oh yeah, if I'd read further on in the instructions it does say to bend them.
