United Kingdom 2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green
In the process of fitting a pair of RRC2970/71 (military) bumperettes to my '08 Puma 90 XS SW and have a query about best practice on bolting on the inside of the rear crossmember.

The inside of the rear crossmember is U section and where the M10 holes come through there is little room for a decent-sized washer as the holes are rather close to the edge wall of the U.

I suspect that the "proper" solution is a packing piece/block to fill the U and a plate on top to bridge the tops of the U. All a bit technical for me unless such things can be purchased.

But what do the rest of you do - just use a small washer and bolt straight to the back of the crossmember?

Thanks. Trevor Wright

I have a mantec rear wheel carrier on my 2005 xs 110
I have been given for christmas a pair of very sturdy bearmach rear bumperettes
the n/s will fit quite easily
however
the o/s has the lower bracket for the wheel carrier in its way - is it a case of modifying the bumperette to fit around the bracket ?

I had to modify my bumperette for my td5 110 because of the mantec spare wheel carrier, i removed the bumperette, then removed the chequer plate, shortened the square tube and chequer plate and re-attached, the bumperette is about 50mm shorter but all works fine.

PM me your email address and I can send a photo

Like many add ons to Defenders they come in a wide range of style and quality.

Not all bumperettes are the same!

Not all rear bumperettes fit with all rear wheel carriers.

Many years ago I bought some rear bumperettes off ebay (YES I know Razz ) Not galvanised and need modifying to fit rear wheel carrier like this

Trouble is you take some of the strength out of them and stepping off rocks I can bend it upwards.


These are galvanised and designed to fit with rear wheel carrier
