A few little updates to the 90 - nothing major but it changes the look a bit.
For a while I've been toying with the idea of 95mm lights all round on the back. I nipped into IRBdevelopments over the weekend and there was a set of genuine plinths and lights waiting there on the shelf and I couldn't say no! Ian made up 2 adapter looms (rather than spending something like £50 odd quid each for genuine ones) and they were fitted - dead easy. Also Mrs Grafty and I have been away in my sisters caravan and after 1000 miles of towing my Provent has started to collect oil. Over those 1000 miles I would say it collected 75ml of oil. I don't know if that's good, bad or indifferent but I now have a benchmark. A few parts have arrived for the 90 as well. Electronic headlight adjusters being one of them - unfortunately they don't work as the plug in the loom has been dangling in the inner wing for 17 years and the contacts have corroded. I need to either buy new wing looms or try and find the plugs (or pins) for the motors. Anyway, enough waffle, here are a couple of pics of the updated back end ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge ![]() Click image to enlarge 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon 1990 Vogue SE Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Td5 90 Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50767.html Tdi 110 Thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic69562.html RRC Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54492.html Instagram http://www.instagram.com/george_grafton |

I like it George, have done this on my last and current 110. Only difference is I use a red unit for the brake/tail. Andy

Yours was the first I'd seen with all 95mm and with 6 along the bottom

I'd definitely recommend doubling up. There's a very noticeable difference in light output

Am i right in thinking the wiring is already inside to do so? Seem to remember seeing the spare plugs...

From what I understand, some are and some aren't. Mine didn't have any but it was easy enough to run a patch loom across the back

[quote="bankz5152"][quote="grafty99"]I haven't forgotten the pics Col, they're en route!
It's been a busy week or so and I forgot to update the thread. Firstly I did a bit of tin tent towing (not a holiday). So there's a picture of that (showing off my newly acquired towing mirrors). ![]() Click image to enlarge hello ref clucht wilwood defender td4 denkyou |

If you're asking if it will fit a Td4 the answer is yes

You're not the first person to ask that, Simon
![]() As they'll be used on the 110 and RRC it's probably best they stay black - if they were solely used on my 90 then they would 100% be colour coded ![]() Although maybe I could paint them gloss black ![]() 1990 Vogue SE Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Td5 90 Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50767.html Tdi 110 Thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic69562.html RRC Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54492.html Instagram http://www.instagram.com/george_grafton |
