I just phoned frogisland4x4 and they don't sell the wide jate rings!

I have a 2.5 petrol 90, drove 4300 miles in it from the uk to the bottom of italy and back and it was great. Fuel economy is not a particular problem, if you really want, as I have done is to convert it to lpg. Tinley tech sell the kit and I fitted it myself as its quite straight forward. It...

Ah no worries, thank you for the offer, I have now managed to find somewhere to get one, (although not as good a price as £10 + P&P) for everyones info: ETC5955 ROCKER COVER PETROL | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series or https://secure.pablanchard.co.uk/product.asp?productID=8407

Aha, I have the 2.5 na petrol 4cyl, do they use the same rocker cover? I don't know :S does anyone know? If it is the same I'll buy it from you badger? Many thanks, Mark

Brilliant once again thank you all, I will try that and see how it goes :)

Hey all, I have the 2.5 4cyl petrol, just noticed I have a crack in the rocker cover,I must have over tightened it. From making some enquiries the only ones you can get are genuine parts and cost 200! Does anyone know differently or a place to get them cheaper/anyone breaking? Many thanks,

I'll have to contact them and get the ratings....£50 is a bit mad if they just file a bit away and make it weaker, i could buy some standard ones and do it myself. I'll let you know what they say :)

I was told the reason for the additional cost is not just that the inner sides are machined off, but that they are also thicker to allow the thinned part just to be as strong as the standard jate ring size, does that make sense?

how do we know if they aren't authorised?

Perfect thank you! :) I will have a think :/ if I do find any cheaper 96mm rated jate rings I will post back on here

the 96mm jate ring is forged and can be bought direct from landrover as a genuine part. rated and everything. part number ZXC9435

Thanks for the replies, attached is a pic of the front of my defender, I like keeping it looking as original as possible. Here they sell the jate rings at 96mm, costing £49. This is the cheapest I found! i know the 86mm ones are much cheaper, I had a pair for £20 but you just can't fit them...

Perfect thank you, I will give that a go :)

I've messaged all of them asking the width, I will wait and see... the tube steering guard - i think it looks awesome :)

Hello! My father in law got me a Fuel hose, SAE J30 R6 5/16", it has been fitted connecting to the carb for about a year and it seemed to be leaking where it meets the carb, so I have tightened the jubilee clip up and now its slowly cutting through the fuel hose! Is the size I am using right...

Thats what I thought too, I just like my Landy looking quite basic and original, and I'm always having to work on it so is it a pain having a full guard there, does it restrict access much?

Hey all, I recently put a steering guard on (one of the LR tube types) and now am on the look out for some way of putting a recovery point on the front. The jate rings I have seen that are 96mm are about £50 each! Anyone know a cheap place to get them or any other good ideas? Also I have...

Brilliant thank you, i'll take another look asap :)

Did you mean out of the bolt in pic 1 or somewhere down by pic 2?

Brilliant thank you, have put the fan and cowl on as had to go for a drive but will go and have another look, thanks again
