Defender Steering Wheel Hub Success.

[CraigE]

I have recieved my hub kit from Autobarn and the Isotta importer in SA.
The hub kit fits the 48 spline TD5 Defender no worries at all. The indicator cancellers are a little narrow but are easily made a little wider. Just awaiting the wheel now, ordered tonight.
Isotta Hub
M/Rover
RIF.6318

The Momo
5608
will also fit but as Autotek were closed for so long over Xmas/New year went with the Isotta.
Thanks to Carl the importer of Isotta for being the only person I contacted to get off his but and actually have a look at the hub for me, photograph and describe.

I'm pretty sure Paul/Defender200Tdi has an Isotta wheel on his 200Td Defender. IIRC, its the same hub as a Jag XJS or somesuch.

Rick,
The tdi and TD5 hubs are different. The tdi's I believe are the same as RR classics (had one in the shed) and the TD5 and early model Fenders/County's are 48 spline so different and the difficulty tracking one down. A lot of places said they had them, then there was no such thing. Carl the Isootta importer was the only one to get up and have a look at the actual hub to try and determine if it could be the right one as they are actually only listed for early model County's. We all know now it will fit anyway.

excellent 8), I'd forgotten they were different. Typical bloody Landy. :wink:

Here's a link to a thread on Land Rover Addict where Paul shows off his nice new tiller http://www.landroveraddict.com/ubbthreads/...true#Post314165
Looks like Carl looked after you both. Good advertising on both threads for Isotta Australia.

<span style="color:blue">the momo 5608 is the correct one......but they dont have a recent listing
for it in their computers......so they cant give a definite answer.....

i have the 5608 and it fit straight on and the indicators cancel without any problems.....

has been this way for almost a year............</span>
