Ashcroft HD flanges fit behind Boost Alloys.

Nigel (Avion8) means the wolf type steel wheels fitted on his Heritage Defender, his dilemma is purely a cosmetic issue, as in he doesnt want to see the gold coloured finish of the HTE or Ashcroft (brand names) drive flanges.

Hi All

Not a good fit behind all Boost alloys:



This is the 110 TD5 with newer Boost alloys (2012) purchased one time ago. You can't fit the centre hub cabs as the nut gets in the way.

The original Boosts have a different cast shape:



These fit a treat. One day I will get the newer tyres transferred across to the original wheels - just one of dozens of todo jobs, & then there are the hundreds of jobs on the honeydo list. Who said retirement was boring!

So if you have boost alloys on 2014 Defender and fit the HTE flanges will the caps fit or not? I'm confused

I'm sure I read exactly the same on the Defender2 forum just a few minutes ago Spudfan.
