They just bolt on. This is on a Sankey trailer rather than a Defender but the principle and the bolts are all the same:

The only thing I'd recommend is to use capless alloy wheel nuts rather than the standard ones. The tolerance of the holes in the adapter are very tight and the caps on the standard nuts have a habit of swelling, making them difficult to fit. Capless nuts were standard on the earlier Discoverys but are also readily available as an aftermarket item.
Oh, and depending on the make of the adapters and what wheels you plan to fit, you may also need a spigot adaptor kit to ensure hub centric fitting of your chosen wheel.Darren
