    Company was good about it. I showed them the problem, manager got the apprentice to remove the wheel he put on so well and when damage was evident, they offered straight away to replace it with a second hand one, no dramas, which I thought was fair. The car is 13 years old, after all. I would have been happy if they welded in new bolts, but they wanted to replace the whole lot. Limited options locally, so they;re going to try and source one in Townsville or Mackay, both of which I'll be in over the next few days, and if they find one, I've offered to collect it to save on freight.

    Understand, it's a small town, I teach his kid, I taught the apprentice when he was at school (not one of my successes), they give good free advice when I need it, you keep things sweet, and everyone looks after everyone else.

    I just wanted to know if a D1 carrier would fit too to widen the possible source, but I think sheerluck & slug_burner are on the money saying the D1 and D2 had different pitch sizes for the wheels. To be honest, I'm not even too worried about the colour, given it will be mostly hidden by the wheel and tyre most of the time.

    Cheers all, I'll let you know how I go.

    Definitely correct about different thread sizes. D1 is larger, same size as Defender. D2 is smaller and the same as later rangies. I have both a D1 and D2

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Note... You must remove interior panel, not just undo bolts..

    And you will break trim clips!

    I disagree
    I broke zero of mine, I thought I did but they were already broken.
    Just have to be careful about it

    You must be the only person to have achieved this without breaking any clips!

    Oh, we know that, Muppet. That was because your mother was a Chinchilla, and your father smelt of lemon peel, and you call a citrus fruit home.

    Have I touched a nerve or something Dave?
    And it stands to reason that my father would smell of lemon if I live in a citrus fruit

    Fear not. It is a play on a Monty Python line from the Holy Grail, which Muppet kindly reminded me of in recent posts. And I can blame the drugs. They're good!
