Took the day off today and was hoping to get on with a few jobs on the Defender. As it has been snowing all day and freezing coled all I have done so far is fit the quick release steering wheel boss. Although I have done a full tidy of the workshop too!

Which brand/supplier of removable boss did you buy Alex?

I got it from CSK Landrovers here on the forum.

Just makes me sleep a little more soundly at night knowing it has another layer of protection.

My other half heroically spent the day in the freezing cold finishing off the next round of electrical / electronic re-jigging in my 90.

Tomorrow, if we are brave enough, we will start on taking the back end of the cage off to drill holes for the bolts we never got time to put in last summer. While the back cage is off we will also be swopping out the old rattling rear sliding windows for some brand new Masai ones that arrived last week. Also ordered some window guards today, not sure when they will arrive, but another item on the list for the Australia trip! Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

G'day Killer, thanks mate. I got the your lovely centre cap in the mail today, great work on that Thumbs Up but sadly I'm having a bit of trouble. It appears my wheel centre hole is smaller that a Momo, only 46mm across, not sure what a Momo is, which is going to cut out the edges of the oval Big Cry I am hoping that it will fit under the ring without having to reduce the diameter of the new cap.

I'm assuming it is self adhesive by the white backing paper?

Do you normally just take off the dress ring (around the horn button) and then stick it to the horn button and replace the ring over the top?

By the way the wheel is an Australian built job, SAAS brand. I fitted it to a Momo boss, part No. 5613 but I did have to reduce the small collar at the top of the column shroud by about 3mm.

The wheel has only moved out about 12mm from the standard wheel position which I was happy about.

Took a couple this morning actually when I gave them another coat of redlead. Will upload them later.

But in short, I used some 80x40x3mm box. Piece of round tube welded on to fit inside the tubular outrigger on the 90, and a couple of bits of plate to mount onto the bulkhead outrigger.
