The aerocatches did you remove the landrover bonnet catches or do you still have both catches in place?.

I binned the original catches and cable ages ago. My bonnet fluttered like mad before I did the Aerocatches and I could never get my hand in to pull the original cable!!

Little mock up with some scrap bits.

I kept mine a little narrower to stiffen it a bit:

Oh, Matron!

Where did you get the top clip from?

I got them locally in France, so not much good to you but these latches are pretty common. I started out with those over centre hasps but they were too flimsy and hard to mount on chequer plate and the robust ones are just too big so I went back to basics.

One did have an idea along the lines of getting two rear door chequerplates and having the whole thing hinge down

Like your thinking.

Never really got far when I posted this as a different thread........

Tried to source a front OS knock and found a loud metallic clack/knock coming from the transfer box - both front wheels in the air and moving one wheel back and front. Aaaaaargh!!



Ignore the video (just listen to the sound) as I was holding the phone with one had whilst rocking the OSF wheel with my NS leg.

 

[Mr Noisy]

Well it's not easy to tell from a video of a noise...

Has it ended up in diff lock by accident?

Does the diff lock still work, ie you can lock and unlock it?

Does the centre diff operate smoothly?

Nope - no lights or wheel scrubbing.

It did last time but I'll check again.

As above.

Seems that asking the same question publicly on their Facebook page has provoked a response!

Only took seven days and four attempts to get a reply! It's a bloody good job their bushes are the best otherwise my money would be going elsewhere.

Binned the old cigarette lighter and replaced it with one of these.

Added a USB point too; and before anybody asks, it took ages to find one with a green LED.

 

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

Swapped one of my thermometers for a green LED version. It also does battery voltage and clock. I'm happy with it so I've ordered another to replace the interior thermometer too.

Looking for one of these for myself it also comes in green
