Yesterday I fitted a Raptor Engineering Cubby Box to a friends Defender 90.
I have not seen one of these up close and personal before and I have to say they are substantially made. The fitting is remarkably easy. Here is how; Tools Required: Electric Drill 10mm Drill Bit 17mm Socket and Ratchet 17mm Spanner Locking Mole Grips (if doing this on your own) Time: 30 mins 1. If you have a centre seat then remove this and the seat belt before attempting to install the cubby box. [URL=]  Click image to enlarge[/URL] 2. Position the cubby box in the well between the two seats. Make sure it is central. 3. Using a 10mm drill bit, drill down through the rear most holes in the bottom of the cubby box, through the black seat box panel. Make sure the holes are as vertical and in line with the cubby box holes as possible. [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL][URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] 4. Insert the two supplied bolts. TIP: If you do not have a second person to help you tighten the securing bolts in place you can use a pair of locking mole grips to stop the bolt from turning. See Picture.

Slot the securing bar over the two bolts. If they do not align properly you will have to enlarge the holes in the bar a little using a drill bit or file. Screw the two supplied nuts on to the bolts as far as possible by finger. [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL][URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] 6. Using a 17mm socket and ratchet tighten the nuts up. If you are using the TIP mentioned above you will have to tighten one bolt and then the other once you have moved the mole grips across to the second bolt in the cubby box. Tighten until the bar just begins to flex a little. Screw on the remaining two locking nuts and tighten. [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL][URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] 7. Extra: If you feel inclined this is a good time to stop the rot. Brush some black Waxoyl (or alike) on to the metal bar and protruding bolts and nuts. [URL=] Click image to enlarge[/URL] 8. Back inside the cab. Place the ribbed rubber flooring in to the cubby box and the sliding tray.

To answer my own question, yes it will fit a 110, but there are a lot of pipes and cables directly below the two 10mm bolt holes you have to drill on the later Pumas, so great care is needed not to cause damage to them.
Now I've fitted mine, the only other point is you will probably need to slot the holes on the underside retaining bar (outwards) to allow both bolts to go through it before you put the nuts on. |
