Thanks! Just perusing the site with the measurements between the existing holes as reference. Sadly banging "Ifor Williams" into the search only returns horse trailer struts at 2100N, which might rip the canopy in half if I fitted them 🤷‍♀️ going to fit rubber edge bindings to rattly bits on...

Oh I love mine, solves all the problems I had with my utility 110. Just fit in the tub lengthways! My £150 ifor williams has the mesh door - mesh is just held on with zip ties (installed by previous owner) and just has holes where the gas strut should be. Can't for the life of me figure out...

Mystery bracket in question is near the air filter case, around a hose near the throttle cable It's zip tied to said hose - now, I bought this post rechassis and have found a number of part-finished jobs, should I bolt this to the underside of the air filter bracket like the holes are...

Cheers! Very handy guide

I had a go using a pushpin adapter for my drillpress but the amount of force necessary to dislodge the pin was above the level I was comfortable making using my antique equipment that I use to make things out of precious metals. I abandoned that part of the process and vowed to dribble 3-in-1...

So just an update - I got the OEM hinges and am painting them 😂

So now : I'm going to fit 30mm spacers to the boosts 😂 Can't find tyres I like enough to justify swapping out the Insa Turbos (Michelin Crossclimate variants doesn't come in an 85 sidewall) just yet so I'll just go with the spacers. 🤷‍♀️

Might explain the current setup! I bought the HiCap from a tree surgeon off a muddy track behind an old mill 💁‍♀️

I am basically "meticulously researching the offset of each different kind of wheel" at this point! I'm running into a lot of conflicting anecdotal evidence. Questions of taste and decency are almost going out the window. The lugs on the Insa's, with the low swing aperture on the hubs and the...

I'm definitely in the left hand side of the camp, but I'm really trying to troubleshoot the problem and am not getting a lot of helpful feedback. Boosts seem to have much less offset, so even fitting a lower profile tyre on a 1995 300tdi with Boosts won't definitively prevent rubbing. I've gone...

OKAY well I am, after much deliberation, I think going to go down the route of fitting 5x165 to 5x120 adapters (56mm offset increase) with some of the New Defender (L663) steelies, which are 18". Having read about the Boost Alloys it seems like they weren't fitted to the 300tdi, and only when...

Even if the weight remains central the force on the hubs is still magnified by the leverage added by spacers / adapters - Not sure if hubcentrics would diminish the leverage?
