WHEEL LOCATING PINS

I bought these off the bay of e. Works a treat, saves my fragile back lifting etc.

I think it was Miggit on here who made some a few years back, and offered them to forum members. Still got mine.

Yes it was,
I did contact him when I first joined the forum, but he had stopped doing them through ill health.
Hopefully those will cut down my asprin intake when taking wheels off and on. Thumbs Up

They certainly make the job much easier. Trouble now is, on my 2011 car, there is no strap to help pull the spare wheel out the well under the boot. Getting it out without is very...err... interesting 🤣 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Know what you mean, even my local tyre fitter struggled, I invested in this kit and fitted it to the car.

Would it fit your car :- https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic34285...el+lifting ?

🤣 I knew I’d seen something about the strap before. Can’t remember if mine has the threaded bolt holes.

Many thanks

Nice pins there Strider Thumbs Up

Thanks for the pic, will make sets for all family cars when on my next ship.
Funny, the weight of the wheel seems to increase in direct proportion to my age Big Cry

Does anyone know where I can get the pins for the earlier years (02/05).

Was checking my brakes the other week and my god the wheels got heavy all of a sudden. Rolling Eyes

Yes Mark it will have. I had the strap on my 2007 and took it off and moved it over to my 12. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

If you don't have the pins and struggle to re-fit the wheel, this tip is an old HGV trick.

Place garden shovel in front of hub with blade flat on ground, roll wheel onto the shovel, and then stand on handle of shovel, thus lifting the wheel, leaving one hand free to start fitting fasteners. You do get funny looks from the neighbours though. Whistle

Hi, I spoke to the manufacturer a Mr James Wallis (no commercial connection), for those of you with the earlier Range Rovers he stated "As soon as this production run is finished he will start making the smaller dia pins very soon".

NB: Realised your in Aus' "littlecub" maybe a local engineering works could knock a set of pins up for you if you give them
the dimensions. Must be a cheaper solution than shipping half way round the world.

Just a quick question. What's the difference between the 02-05 pins and those that fit later years? Confused
