Nah, BM Style 236 17"er with RFT. And just out of sight to the right a set of 15" Jazz alloys with Conti winter tyres on. There are 2 extra D3 18'ers with ATRs also in the room.
As you say, cured.

Thanks Disco duck,have seen those on the Prospeed site ,wildrover was going to take a pic for me of how & where a securing padlock can be fitted with a bit of a mod Www.devonchilliman.co.uk
DD just want to clarify, do those brackets fit a Fow wing to an LR Expo Rack? If so how? (I can't quite see how they work) Main reason I haven't bought one yet, apart from lack of cash, is how to attach it to the G4 rack.Craig

If you look at the above picture
A longer pin could take a small padlock if drilled out. That way when folded flat there is no access to the mounting bolts2007 D3 HSE Artic Frost Silverish

@ Craig S-L. Yes Prospeed do brackets to fit the Land Rover Expo rack (G4). Speak to them they will fill you in! I've seen pics of one fitted to an expo. It lies flat on top when not being used and can be folded out. Get 3
Thanks DD - I assume get 3 means 3 brackets, not 3 foxwings (although that should give 360 degress coverage) Craig

Foxwing a little more secure on a Prospeed rack
Right chaps...
After "Wildrover" suggesting maybe having larger pit pins to enable the possibility of drilling out to take a padlock I spoke to "Ollie" at Prospeed,he suggested to give him a couple of days and he will see what they can do with their equipment .
The suggestion was to use a long shackle padlock ,after numerous Visits to DIY stores/Ironmongers etc I've come up with a padlock which fits perfectlty
It is a Draper 40mm Long Shackle Padlock (part No 21578)

It fits through the bracket when it is closed,so preventing a tea leaf from opening the bracket to 90 degrees which in doing so exposes the bolts which secure the brackets to the rack and also prevents removal of the Foxwing from the bracket

Hopefully this will prevent the opportunist thief ....HTH :thumbsup:
