jericho Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I have bought a new steering link to join the column to the box,but it appears to be about 3/4" too short. Is there more than one type for defenders?I thought they were all the same. The part I bought is NTC 8478. Thanks, Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 looking at them, the defender one has a collapsible section, the disco one doesnt. Presumably because the RRC/Disco has the collapsible section in the column inside the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 so even if it did fit, you really wouldnt want to use the Disco one on a defender! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 i dont get your comment? My point was that even if the disco one fitted, it would be dangerous, as you'd be losing the collapsible section... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
