Hi, I actually don't know where they came from. They were on my granddads old series 3 (a 1972 petrol 88") when he bought it and swapped them along with the overdrive onto this. I like them because they cover the wheel nuts so you don't always have to touch them back up when they start to go rusty and they're a bit different Cheers, Sam

Hi all, well I think I may as well introduce myself. I'm Sam from Holyhead and I'm on a few other forums. I have a 1976 series 3 88" which is currently being rebuilt. I do have a rebuild thread on another forum, (landyzone). If anyone wants I'll put up a link? Thought I'd better ask first before spamming the forum But anyway heres a photo of what it looked like before we started: If you want me to direct you to that thread just ask and I shall post up the link Sam

Aren't the defender FWHs a different spline to the series? I have an old pair of selectro FWHs of a defender knocking about and the splines are a different number to the series (e.g. they are something like 24 spline or something like that whereas series are less.

Is it possible to drive as normal with the freewheeling hubs constantly "engaged" or will that cause damage to anything? I have some on mine and I can't see myself wanting to use 4 wheel drive for what I'll do with it unless in certain circumstances so the whole getting out of the car doesn't really bother me, plus I have some rather nice chrome wheeltrim which fits snugly round my Fairey hubs and as I have the trim I must fit it of course cheers, Sam
