Hmmm, my first concern. The gear levers. Everything looks factory OeM to now...these don't. I have 3/4/5 cnc axis machines so always to machine bits for the truck but it's too much metal. Would be nice anodised a nice graphite green to match.

Thanks, that is valid and interesting feedback... Thumbs Up

To be honest, it was a bit like the wheels decision, I pontificated forever, for the very reasons you have put forward... Rolling Eyes

If the black version had not been an all over black I would have opted for that as a less in your face alternative... Whistle

But I really wanted the nekkid ally tops and do not like the carbon effect version, Hobson's choice then... Thumbs Up

Now, if I can only find someone willing to anodise my shafts, as you kindly suggested, in a suitable shade of Keswick Green, then my life (and the Keswick Special) will be complete... Mr. Green  Rog... Mr. Green

^^ You simply could also get a set of SVX knobs, they would be of the high class of your rebuild. Whistle
Oh, you would not want to do that of course, too many comments on here that SVX gear knobs will freeze your hands off in winter. Rolling with laughter
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

I did consider that Eric and if they were sensibly priced, or a little more available than hens teeth, I agree they would be eminently suitable for my 'Keswick Special'... Thumbs Up

Oh, and the temperature of those is likely to be no better, or worse, than the ones I have fitted and, as I do not plan to cuddle them whilst nekkid, or hold onto them for any length of time, other than the odd gear change, their freezing capabilities will be irrelevant to me...
