I have seen wheels on the roofs of others but no idea how they are secured. Any ideas please? Eamonn BP52 GJF - Defender 110 Fleet No.62 South Africa

And maybe some kind of means of locking it if there's a chance of it getting stolen. . Discovery 2 G4 BD52 CUC Vehicle No 125 Discovery 3 G4 BD08 VSZ Vehicle No 11

Barry (Landiebaz) had some of the complete brackets with discs made in stainless steel that are very neat and well made (I have the original and the stainless steal). I don't know how your rack is configured, but you should have the holes that go through the board and the bolts should thread directly into the rack frame beneath. Many Thanks Paul Martin Discovery 2 G4 LE Automatic Java Black G4 DCV (DC53 FHD) Previous G4's G4 Defender 110 - BV55 ZBP 2006 Selections Vehicle Fleet No: 115
