Nifty Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Having sold my Land Rover I now have the spare wheel cover floating around the garage. I had intended it to go on the Discovery but this uses smaller diameter tyres and so this cover is too big (so I shall get another manufactured in the correct size). Pictures may be found here and here. It is designed to fit a 235/85 R16 tyre, as fitted as standard by Land Rover to their 16" alloy wheels on 90/110s. I had the cover manufactured for me by Fred Cutler of Bury St. Edmunds who does a lot of manufacturer/dealer and commercial contracts. It is a semi rigid design, having a plastic face where the logo is, and tough elasticated vinyl sideskirts. Suffice it to say that this is no cheap internet cover (I paid over £100 for it) but one of quality that has sat out in the sun, rain .. and mud for 4 years without any deterioation to the colour logo. To the best of my knowledge this is unique ..... until I get the one for the Discovery manufactured 😬 How does £50 delivered sound 🤔 P.S. Also available ... a set of 4 Boost alloy wheels, complete with wheel nuts and fitted with partially worn (20,000 miles) General Grabbers (as standard fit by LR). ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Edited by - Nifty on 18 Apr 2009 13:06:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYKer Will Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Finding it hard to resist so first dibs please subject to checking it will fit "Bessy" Might be interested in the wheels as well. Are the grabbers more road biased than my bfg all terrains? Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian B Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I could be interested if Will isn't, so 2nd dibs please Nifty Ian - Slightly Vider SVelte model 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sorry chaps, been flatout busy. Will, not sure about the tyre size, will need to calculate. General Grabbers are definitely more road biased than BFG All terrains. ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 There are several very different tread patterns for General Grabbers, including AW, AT2, WW, UHP and others, so might be worth identifying which they are Nifty?

Nifty Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Sorry Ian , they are TRs as fitted as standard by LR ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Will, For info my 235/85 R16 spare is approx 31" diameter. The Discovery's 235/70 R16 is 28 1/4" diameter and the wheelcover is too lose on this size. ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nifty Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Neil, Crops desperately need water ❗ ❗ ❗ We haven't had a drop of the rain the rest of the country's had ☹️ Are you and Will going to Grant's tarck evening? If so I could get the wheel coverto you, assuming Will wants it. TF, I may possibly have a sale of the wheels to the chap who is buying the Landy, but if not you have first refusal. £300? ======================================== Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
