Wheel Flares for 69 Series IIa available ?

[mrdoiron]

I want to add some plastic Wheel Flares to my 69 Series IIa, like you see on the defender etc., does anyone know if there are specific kits available and where ?

ALSO - the 5 bolt wheel pattern - would this be the same wheel pattern as the Disco and Defender 5 bolt ?

appreciated mrdoiron@gmail.com

I have asked the fender flare question before and I was told that defender flares will work. But you will have to modify your fenders to do it. And that defender wheels will fit on a serise rig.

DAP used to sell them, many years ago. No idea if they still do. I've known people who installed "universal" fender flares.
Hubs are same bolt pattern as D1 and Defenders. The coiler aluminum wheels won't fit though.

I see this picture on the Rovers North web site, which shows a Series II with wheel flares, but don't see them available there to purchase. This is essentially the look I want to achieve - including replacing the wheels to this defender type - but on that side not sure what happens to center hub with the orig wheel..??

appreciate any help.. mrdoiron@gmail.com

I won't guarantee it but you'll probably find that truck has had a coiler axle conversion and very possible a coil chassis conversion too. The wider axles forced the owner to use the wheel arches.

As you can see it can be done but it is not just a bolt on option. Google is you friend here so for more detail search for series coil axle conversion.
