Actually with 80mm one side and 120mm the other My offset might really be 20mm. I wish I hadn't had that second pint of cider now! My brain hurts!

So right Redhand I'm just being thick and thanks for the erudite response! My offset is 40mm after reconsidering (and re checking)

Maybe I'm being too precise after all, when I made my shotgun choke guage I had to be:D

Cheers guys but the offset should be measured from the centre of the beed to the mounting plane of the studs. The rims will be further out than the centre of the bead. I used a steel rule and a depth guage and got a reading of around 40mm. Is offset staged in 5, 10mm gradings or just totally...

Before I get the usual "ffs" post I have done some research but not found an answer. After selling my boost alloys (For £500 :D) I am left with only four steel modular wheels so need a spare. My Defender Td5 90 has 235/70/R16 insa turbo dakar muds so I need something similar as a spare. I looked...

Hey Dangerousbrain are you an aircraft engineer? Banging rivets into unwanted holes is just what we do to planes!

Hey Trapper! Others suggested dismembering my 90 on axle stands and came up with all sorts of scare stories but I left it stood on it's wheels and the sheared bolt came out in no time! You just need a drill that is reversible. Oh! And patience. Even my local L/R specialist garage suggested...

I bought a set of left handed titanium drill bits off eBay a while ago and they work a treat! I had a seized drive hub bolt and many others said I'd need oxy-acetylene gear or at least a blow torch and I'd have to dismantle my hub but all I did was drill it with a left handed drill and it only...

The Mantec is great and a mushroom top is the most effective for the job. The safari looks good but there are so many options it is up to the buyer to decide. I wouldn't buy a snorkel with an intake that face forward as this would be crap in dusty/sandy conditions. If all you are interested in...

Bloody hell! £13.67 for a roll of tape?! I have ordered a roll though BearDy so thanks for the steer. SWMBO is already cheesed off as I am accessorising my 90 so the last thing I need is for her to bruise herself getting in or out. The Boost Alloys (That feature in my photo) fetched over £500...

Ricksdef Jai hi. They are yours Ricksdef and if you don't want them Jai gets them. I am also keen to meet you guys at the White Lion so may just turn up and say hi some time. Ricksdef please pm me for contact details and the sills are yours. Dug

I don't believe that at 10:30 today I offered to give away a pair of Defender 90 sills and no one has responded. I offered them via my thread on Rock/Tree sliders as now I have sliders I no longer need sills and they are in good order. I could eBay them but would feel happy to give them to...

Have you bought them from Richmond Stupot? If you have you won't be disappointed. I have hammerited the edge of the floor pan that is just visible beneath the doors and it hardly notices now. Dont trim the flanges until you have offered them up and aligned them. I only trimmed mine to make sure...

Got them fitted yesterday and theyr'e great. They didn't go as flush as I thought and I had to trim the flanges slightly but this was fairly straightforward. I think I could have got them more flush if I had elongated the fwd bolt holes but they are so well made I didn't want to modify them too...

I thought that's what tree sliders were for Redwall! Maybe I'm not the thick one after all!:D

Can anyone tell me what the body tub sliders would protect you from? Maybe I'm being thick (not for the first time), but I can't think what benefit they could provide.:confused:

Sure thing Edlen. Before, during and after!

Low mileage is more of a worry. More mileage means more use and probably more reliable. My 90 has 120k on the clock and it's only 10 years old so I was 'well-happy' to but it. The hardest part was finding one that hadn't been messed about with too much as I wanted a fairly standard 90.

They took around 14 days to arrive but they are big and heavy! They also look very well made so worth every days wait if they fit!:)

The tubular tree sliders are welded (Neatly) to the rock sliders. I was asking about the tubular section that slides into the chassis. I'm looking forward to getting them fitted this weekend
