Land Rover Defender Raptor Engineering Dash Binnacle Upgrade

My original Defender binnacle cracked, so I replaced it with a Raptor Engineering steel binnacle. It is a direct replacement suitable for pre-2000 Defenders. It comes in black powder coating, with optional black or silver anodised aluminium bezels available. Upgrading the binnacle mount to a steel version is highly recommended to hold the extra weight. An easy way to stop rattles. Installation takes a few hours. Available from: www.raptor-eng...

That looks spot on. The guy who makes them is up the road from me so I might have to get one when I do the centre dash pod.

Really sharp looking units. Lucky you're so close! Took a month or two to get mine from one of the local importers.

@Reaper4367 5 жыл бұрын

What a great up-date whilst keeping the standard look for the binnacle. Just a thought though.. would 'Raptor Liner' sprayed onto the housing prior to installation give the old 'dimpled' look? Might give it a try. Top video cobber. Cheers for sharing :)

@RoamingTheOutback 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate. Possibly, or get it re-powder coated in a matt or satin black antique (dimple) finish. You might need to file away the extra coat to slide in the gauges if tolerances change.

Hey Brett. Did you source them directly from Raptor in the UK? How much was the postage?

@RoamingTheOutback 6 жыл бұрын

No I ordered mine from British Offroad. I was quoted Carriage via FedEx £36.40 by Raptor.. worked out a little cheaper buying it local.

Hey Brett, is thread lock needed on the nuts holding the gauges and binacle? Just interested if threadlock has any effect with the vibration you get on those tracks. Cheers mate

@RoamingTheOutback 6 жыл бұрын

Hey mate. I didn't use any thread lock. My speedo has been rock solid for years and the 2 gauges are VDO screw on type.. Probably no harm in using the mild version of thread lock if you wanted to be certain.
