Compasses Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi all I've just acquired a NATO pintle to fit to a Land Rover - but the one I've ended up with is the larger size intended for Bedford trucks etc. Will this fit a Land Rover or is it just ridiculously oversized? If it's too big, it'll be for sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Degsy Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yes it's too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArtistsRifles Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Degsy's absolutely right. You will be much better off selling this one and replacing it with the correct size. They can be sourced from evilbay fairly easily, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Military-style-Nato-tow-hitch_W0QQitemZ220401743633QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item220401743633&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 poppypiesdad Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) would the larger size fit a humber pig or is it the smaller one ? Edited April 24, 2009 by poppypiesdad can't spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adam Elsdon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The Pig hitch is the smaller one, also it isnt the later Dixon Bate type with the option to rotate the pintle and the myriad of locking pins, it is the earlier type, as fitted to the Champ etc, also fairly easy to get hold of, and generally cheaper than the later version.

0 antarmike Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I would do you a straight swap, but you are probably too far away I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Compasses
Hi all
I've just acquired a NATO pintle to fit to a Land Rover - but the one I've ended up with is the larger size intended for Bedford trucks etc. Will this fit a Land Rover or is it just ridiculously oversized?
If it's too big, it'll be for sale...
