Concur with mr tom
Shire fabrications are really good. Couldn't find the steps on their website and only on their eBay page providing it hadn't ended. Phone call is the best.

I had the Bearmach tubes, didn't last very long before they started going rusty so got rid.
When I took them off they were extremely heavy - full of thick rusty water !!Velar MY18 D180 S Narvik

Mine have been on 3+ years now and get used as steps as they have a non slip pad on them for this.
No issues with rust and as the ends turn down and have a hole in them to let water out I'm not sure if you ever blasted water through yours.
The only issue I had was with one of the bolts but easy to replace and iirc advanced factors stock the heavier ones
What do you want for £100 ish ? Rock sliders ?

Are they the same ones ? Mine did not have a hole (I drilled them).
Would I get the same again (even at £120 that I paid?) Probably not.
