Well if anyone wants the Entreq reinforcement bracket give me a shout.

Today we received some Entreq reinforcement brackets. Not sure what postage costs would be. I doubt that P & P would at max be a fiver. (Just remember we have to add 20% to P & P charges)

Only had a quick look at the Entreq gear and it looks well made. The nuts and bolts even come with anti corrosion paste!

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS DCPU Keswick Green

After reading so much about this before picking mine up, i thought I'd check out how good they looked straight out of the factory:

can't see this staying on long

.

Not sure if I should be pulling the wing in before nipping up the bolt or put a couple of spacers underneath the inner fitting to space the whole arm out:

I know I could take it back to the dealer but I think I'm going to put a couple of pieces of ali right angle in as well to strengthen both the inner and outer mountings (there's already a hole through the arm for the inner fixing.

having done that - I know where the mudflaps will fail - right across the rubber immediately below the rivets at the point they flex under use

We still have the Entreq reinforcing brackets in stock

We also now have rear 110 mudflap brackets available in stainless steel and powder coated stainless. Not Entreq unfortunately.
