Yes, you can. You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

They are nice but as I have panoramic glass the rear hinges won’t fit with it so not for me, but the Optimill ones do

I just can’t stand the grease nipples on the hinges. I’ll just stay with my ACF50 spray can and swap the hinges if ever needed... 😄

What do you mean? These are door hinges here. Nothing to do with pano glass, no?

They look nice but I don't think I could live with exposed nipples.

Out of interest Eric, what grease are you using for them?
I have standard hinges and tend to use white Lithium with an application straw. TheThunderRolls🇬🇧🇺🇸

White lithium with a grease gun, no application straw.

Ericv because I have the Masai glass fitted the greaseable hinges very similiar to yours from Defender upgrades will not fit

but if I need to replace them then the Optimill version will do but these aren’t greasable. 2015 HT XS 90
