Boost Alloys for 1992 defender

Probably a daft question, but just wanted to check on the basis that I've seen Boost alloys advertised on one site for 1994 defenders onwards, is there any reason i couldnt fit them on my 1992 model? Cheapest ive found them based on the 16" black gloss ones are £83 each, anyone bought any recently for cheaper, if so, who did you use? I'm not sure what other decent alloys are available at that sort of price, any suggestions welcome. Thanks for your help.

No problem at all, they are fitted to mine, are they the same? I got mine off a discovery mot fail i bought for £200

Have you got disc brakes or drums, if drums I was under the impression you require spacers!!

It may look a bag of ****e in the pic but its better than it looks, yeah it has the axle of said disco as well

I think it's discs on front and drums on back, are the boost alloys still ok?

depends more on the front axle,but they will fit with spacers anyway.By the way did you get sorted with your galved bulkhead?

With Drums on the rear you will need spacers AFAIK

3K, who is doing it Dick Turpin. You can get yours refurbed and galved for under a grand

Any recommendations, I found a place in Birmingham but they are busy for 6 months, my local guy suggested the rot is likely to mean an MOT failure due to proximity to brake master cylinder. It's the labour cost that is the biggest cost, the bulkhead pimed and painted is £1300, labour £1700......

Eh.!!! You can have yours prepped and dipped for £600-£800 max, alternatively you can purchase a fully galvanised bulkhead for £400-£600. They can see you coming do some research and good luck matey!!!

Ps post some pics of your bulkhead!

£90 to get a bulkhead dipped in dudley my good mate has a landrover garage in leicster, he has a ashtree galved bulkhead in stock, and a chassis for that matter! Give me a p.m if you want his details!

Do a search!!

Drums on the back do not cause an issue alloys will fit the backs no problem usually. It is land rovers that came fitted with drums and the original front axle that has issues. The FRONT axle dispite having disks causes issues usually the driveflange protrudes enough to foul the inside of the wheel.

It is said defenders with drums on the back have problems with fitting alloys, its not actually the drum braked axle but the original factory front that causes issues

As i said
