2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Santorini Black

Wanted one of these

Need to get a bike carrier on (without buying a new one)

Sits on the tow ball.

To clear rear spare on a Defender, I need on of these but can't find one anywhere

Got the pic form a completed ebay auction

Seller won't reply to question as to where he got it

Personally I can't see how what was pictured would fit... But in answer to your question, possibly with one of these...

Whole lot only comes to $163 if it can be supplied for a Defender. If not may give you a couple of ideas if you're 'Engineer Minded?'

Shame the seller won't answer your query. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

hi,

I have a pendle bike rack, have a look at http://www.pendle-bike.co.uk/index.php

there are lots of options on there, I feel its best to avoid the spare wheel type unless you have a mantec spare wheel carrier.

cheers

No not specifically as a defender item but it has the bolt holes for the flange style tow bar bolts so would fit any tow bar with flange style tow ball

I already have a tow-bar with standard flange tow ball installed on my Defender. I just want to change the tow ball bit. The part pictured would fit as a direct replacement for a standard flange tow ball. I don't really want to replace the entire tow bar if I can help it.

Any other ideas how to get the twoball an extra 10cm away from the car so the bike rack clears the spare wheel?

Can't seem to find anywhere that will sell the extended towball on its own.

what about a tow bar extension box type thing as fitted to the 130's ? RLD would probably be able to make you something up?
