Hello,
My other half is a Landy obsessive, and I'm planning on proposing to him. I want a ring that means something, so I thought it would be amazing to take a nut from his favourite landy (and replace, obviously...) and then lathe it down to be suitable for a wedding ring.
Unfortunately I have no idea about the inner workings of a landy, so can anyone point me in the right direction to find the biggest nut that I might find that could fit on a mans finger?
Thanks!
Tom

This is one for @jamesmartin I think. Is likely the largest will actually be too big for your needs..

Depends, I was thinking hub nuts would make very novelty cock rings

Maybe a wheel nut?

Dog nut is the biggest...

Forget that I hadn't considered the a frame one

Turktowner · May 16, 2018

Reckon that'll do once the thread has been bored out?

The crank nut is a fair size.

You are, of course, entirely correct! : )

What a really lovely idea!

Sure, 'til it falls off (am assuming it's a Tratter)

I guess you could blame it for the breakdown in the relationship

I'm kidding, it's a really good idea OP, expecting pics when finished.

The biggest nut on a Landrover is often the one behind the wheel.

wait a sec, what landy is it?

TomboWombo · May 16, 2018

Wow thanks for all your replies!! I'll start researching where they all are and figuring out which will be the best fit.

Ring a landrover specialist, give them the part number that James posted, they will send you one.

We've got 2. Now I was about to do my usual when someone asks me what we have and be "We have a blue one, and a grey one", but I'm guessing that doesn't help much.
They are both 90's, one is older and Jeremy's modified that one a fair bit. I think this would be the best to get a part from.
The other is one of the limited edition ones that came out last year. Probably won't want to tinker with that one though... My life wouldn't be worth living if I bugger it up.

Wait... a 90 from last year? a heritage 90?

this? https://www.topgear.com/car-news/classic/six-reasons-you-need-defender-heritage-edition#1

They're pretty expensive, i would avoid ****ing with that one haha. Though wasn't aware of them being in any colour except the old school green
I would go with the one he's modified the most, i would assume that would be the labour of love.

Oh no not that one. Maybe from the year before? It was one of the Adventure ones. Still not going to **** with it though.
