How much are the 130 ones?

Looking at about £300. Now I am not sure if there are any variation dependent on if HCPU or not.

If you let me know exactly what version of 130 you have I will make enquiries.

2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Keswick Green

These aren’t SE but Terrafirma, they were fairly straight forward to fit , same as Leeds pics. The gap below door is better than original sill and I could swear there’s less road noise than before !!

Hi Brendan,

Do you think they would tweak a set to take a ladder?

Simple answer will probably be yes. However it would be a special order. You would have to provide a drawing with measurements of how you want ladder attached. One side or both sides.

Now as this is a special order it will be one of the rare occasions when we would require payment with order. Simple reason, it is a special order and there is very little likelihood of finding another customer for them. Time scale? Simple answer, I do not know but it would be a few weeks as it would have to fit in with their production schedule.

Hope you understand.

Is it slippery when wet, though?

I concur. Genius...

As for slippery when wet, the bars are very slippery when wet. Brenadan has a selection of excellent grip plates to help with this, think he linked to them earlier. Then there is adhesive grip tape, the genius bike tyre approach above and since I have to repaint my bars I am more than tempted with this;

I guess that depends on which tyre/tread type you choose. Go for a softer compound with large tread blocks and I would think they would give good purchase.

My concern, if you only tie wrapped them on, would be the tyre rotating on the bar as you stepped on, with the result of you getting a nasty bump on your shin. A blob or three of Sikaflex, or similar, would solve that.

My DIY job. I know the extensions give protection in car parks but these make less stains on my wives trousers.
