DCPU - I need to extend the spare wheel retainer. Options?
I've recently changed the wheels on my DCPU. The new ones, Nakatanenga ANR Classic's, are wider with a zero offset so of course the bolt which retains the spare is no longer long enough. Can a longer version be purchased? Is there another option?

Thanks Thumbs Up

Defender wheel nut is M16x1.5 so get yourself a length of M16x1.5 threaded rod cut to length, grind two flats on one end with a hole cross drilled to suit the bulkhead bracket and bob’s your uncle. Can use the original wheel nut to secure > 110 XS Double Cab
