Hello,
After a set of hood sticks and a hood in good condition for a 110 hicap if anyone has any kicking about.
Ideally dark colour, but any would be ok if really tidy.
Cheers

Agreed- well worthwhile installing.
We have a switch on ours that we can switch it off.

Glad you got fixed
The fracture on the OME looks like a duff weld. I know pin to pin is meant to be better but a well made eye fixing shouldn't fail even under extreme conditions, Defenders have be ... |
