It has a removable Nakatanenga rubber mat to protect it from Brendan when he needs to use it (ie it needs fuel!) but I can be trusted to look after it. Rolling with laughter

It is my baby, and done entirely to my taste and suits my purposes down to the ground.

All our vehicles are daily work vehicles! Laughing and work for their living.

All have been abroad with us.

This weekend took the white 90 up to show Lakeland Land Rovers the transformation from being a cancelled Sellafield ugly duckling to a beautiful white Yorkshire rose Thumbs Up

Well it is a long time since I posted on this thread, things have been changing slowly.


Today fitted Barbara's Easter present to the white 90 Thumbs Up

New Scheelmann seats. Amazing how much easier it is to clean the front of the 90 with the seats out.

First impression driving with these seats are a higher seating position, firm seats with the wings of the back are comfortable and hold you well.


Also have fitted a new stainless steel wheel carrier.

Whilst fitting the wheel carrier I decided to get rid of some of Land Rovers finest bolts

Got some more of the Nakatanenga stainless bolt kit on as well Thumbs Up

Will the wheel carrier still fit when a rear step bumper is fitted. It's an OEM piece?

I assume it's stainless thats been powder coated. Or is it painted?

Finally, where. Can I get the replacement bolts from? You?

That spare wheel carrier looks fantastic and being stainless is great, with they'd do a tailgate version Smile Defender puma dormobile camper

Matthew, it will fit with a NAS step if that is what you mean. It has






space at the end of the cross member for attaching a step to.



The wheel carrier is almost 100% stainless only wheel studs are mild steel for strength purposes. It is powder coated stainless steel. In my opinion probably the best swingaway wheel carrier currently available in the UK. No holes need drilling in bodywork, however two 8mm holes in rear cross member need enlarging to a 10mm clearance holes.


We have the Nakatanenga bolt kits on our shelves. These are the only kits with genuine LR door bolts in stainless and comes complete with anti seize paste Thumbs Up

ST no version for a tailgate version currently available but watch this space Whistle

Great thanks... Yes NAS, it was more the space between the x member and the tube. But you've said it will fit... So good enough.

I'll drop you a mail via your website etc.

Thanks again.

Like the wheel carrier. How does the height of the wheel compare with the standard mounting? From your pictures, looks like it obscures more of the rear window?
