twodoorgaz Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hi folks. I'm just putting together one of these kits - I have the angle piece and all the correct nuts and bolts - so just need the plate which I can knock up with the plasma and pillar drill. May as well just cut and drill this myself - but could do with the measurements if anyone has one on their vehicle? The length/width and thickness of the factory plate would be ideal (I'm a stickler for genuine looking parts, so would rather not guess). I can probably take the spacings off the crossmember and angle piece but if anyone fancies having a crack at that too then I'll make them into a drawing to be stored on the forum. Just for context, the plate I'm looking for is item 2 on this diagram: https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-accessories/accessories/towing-systems_44771 and when fitted, it looks like this (image pinched from another forum): Thank you.

western Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Have a read of this old thread Picture of the plate on https://britcar.com/product.php/123750/0/tow_ball_drop_plate_defender 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger110 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Ralph's link is good for what you want to know. I have the towing pack which has a larger plate i believe than the one you've listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodoorgaz Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 thanks guys, western while the link to the thread wasn't quite what I was after - your britcar link was really helpful. They list the plate as being 19x15x1cm. If that's accurate I can just order a bit of plate in that size already cut with radiused corners off ebay for about £12 delivered.

western Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Britcars dimensions I think are for the item in its packaging. So might not be accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
