2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey

I originally wanted bumperettes but someone mentioned that if they were hit with just the right force, it would damage the body as well so I was looking the NAS bumper but was concerned that once a NATO towing pintle was added, it would severely affect departure angles, this looks to be a nice solution to my predicament.

That being said, the question now becomes, can we now buy these from somewhere? If so, where?

Looks good .. Not sure it would work with a Nak wheel carrier though

If the pintle is mounted directly to the face plate, i don't think it would effect the angle too much, if at all? I think I have heard issues with the holes of the pintle matching up with the NAS however.

Not the right attachment but close enough is size to show the change to departure angle.

Here you go, with adjustable DB. Great as you don't keep banging your head on the spare wheel when mounting/unmounting trailer.

Departure Angle? Cr4p!

just remember if you need the angle and you haven't got it, it results in half the weight(approx. for the pedantic few!) pushing the nas step upwards which is not what they are designed for.

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 CSW Corris Grey

Are these available to buy yet? I have checked the Witbread and Bowler websites with no joy. Maybe a group buy?
