WTB 2000 Defender Extreme Steering Wheel Boss Kit

[CraigE]

Does any one know of a retailer in Australia that stocks a Boss kit for a 2000 Defender Extreme? My steering wheel is a bit cactus (worn badly on top) and I want to replace it. Most places I have contacted by email have not even replied or do not know of one and most retailers I have been in to stare blankly when you mention Defender.

These guys quoted this, but don't hold your breath.

"Y17-1320-B25 Boss kit is on order from the UK $165.00 Inc GST"

Dated 30/8/05 and still not seen.

I rang Saas about two years ago and they sent me a boss.

It turned out to be wrong, so I Cad-ed the correct dimensions and sent it back to them, they re machined and all is well.

Give them a call, I think I paid the princely sum of $85.00 two years ago...

Mine has a Momo Race attached now, great wheel...

Cheers

The SAAS boss kit will fit if you modify the plastic housing at the bottom.
The splines and diameter are correct but the plastic housing is about
10 mm too long at the bottom and therefor touches the steering column surround. I got mine from autobarn for about $65.

Contacted autoechnica and they inform me that they neither have one in the autotechnica or SAAS catalogue for a Defender. Is the one you have listed for a Defender or another vehicle and just fits a Defender. Also waht spline is yours? Also who did you get yours through? Would be nice if they had online catalogues. Having an absolute ****e of a time trying to get one for a 2000 model Extreme.
Thanks

Geez what a joke. The people who actually reply do not have one in any brand or know of one. Some of the ones who may have the item do not even reply.

A TD5 Extreme should use the same boss as a pre-Defender 110 (the 4 spoke wheel)

Isotta did list them, and they have a good range of wheels. I fitted an Isotta wheel to my 200tdi.

You beauty Paul. Now I might be able to get rid of my buggered wheel. I reckon I have emailed and phoned 50 different place in the last 6 weeks or so.

<span style="color:green">i think that the number they gave me was for a 2000 model.....
they didnt have a listing for a 2003 as yet......they are in rhodes sydney
i had to go there to try it on to make sure it fit before i bought it.....

but they were most helpful and friendly when i rang up.....
i still got the box sitting in front of me and thats the part number....

ring them back and ask them what land rover that part number will suit....
you may have just got someone on a bad day maybe....

keep us informed of progress......</span>

Paul and Zook,
First thanks for the help. I have located the item from Isotta and will be getting it asap. As soon as i get the part number i will post it. I will also ask Carl in Adelaide to update their catalogue with a reference to TD5 Extremes for future reference once I make sure it fits. As for Momo and Autotechnica so far everyone I have contacted tell me there is not one for a Land Rover Defender or just don't bother replying. They do not even recognise their own product codes. Carl at Isotta did not even recognise the codes I got from the Italian site catalogue, but at least he went and had a look and found the one with a 48 spline. I was contemplating cutting the splined bit out of the LR wheel and fitting it to an old hub kit I have in the shed. You would think these companies would standardise there splined shafts. I can finally see the light on this one. have a great New Year.

Craig,
When you finally get one, and it fits, please let me know.
My UK sourced item via Scorpion Racing in Perth is just not happening. 4 months and many emails from me to them and no reply. They are bloody hopeless!! :twisted: :twisted:

[CraigE]

Yep I emailed them too. I will let you know how I go.
