Put the new 50m of 14mm Red Winch rope on.

I was thinking of using these door hinges on my Disco but didn’t bother in the end. These would have been helpful, especially as you could ‘tune’ the thickness by altering them in one dimension. I need to get around to printing a Land Rover SVO badge too. Perhaps change it to SVK for...
