Defender holes behind wheels?

Leepea · Aug 12, 2019

I have started repairing my 110 chassis and one area that is quite bad is behind the rear wheels. I cut out a panel but the three holes had tubes attached Inside, I was curious as to what the holes are used for and will I need to renew them when I replace the panel. The picture is not my chassis but one I found just to show what I'm on about..

But my shocks are mounted on front of the springs?

Early RR 1 was forward & 1 was rearward

No need to sleeve or have drillled holes in that section

I thought it was to let the "tin-worm" get in?

Sorry, I'm new around here so I've not caught up.. I don't know if your joking because it sounds like a good idea

Long shot guess because I don't have one but is it to mount the fuel sedimenter?

It’s for the damper as above. Some early 110s still had the carry-over from the Range Rover off front and rear shock mounts. Some vehicles also had double shock mounts.
