Door sill

olmasters · Jul 15, 2006

Hi, I am now wanting to put the cab back on to my series 3 chassis. Unfortunately, my cab is in two pieces and I am rather unsure of what the door sill is supposed to or how it attaches to the rear of the cab. I bought the landy in pieces to restore so Something might be missing. The pic is in the link below:

It bolts on to the front of the rear tub. It also supports the seatbox.

Don't you mean the rear of the cab? anyway I don't know where or how it mounts to the cab. I am wondering if anything else connects to it as I can see no way of connecting it

No, it runs along the underside of the floor. It also supports the seatbox and it connects at one end as shown on your picture to the bulkhead/door pillar and the other end bolts to front of the rear tub at the bottom. This is what supports the floor edge and the seat box edge.
I think your refferal to the cab is my interpretation of the body.

in laymans terms, the front of the tub(back body) is the rear wall of the cab, thus wesser calls it the tub and you call it the cab, i think the majority of old hands refer to it as the tub

Sorry, it must be the wording of my question. I can see no way of fixing the end of the door sill (the end not connected to anything) to the rear of the cab. Am I missing a bracket to enable fitting as all I have on the rear of the cab is the holes to bolt the seat bench to and the holes to mount the cab to the crossmember. Isn't the tub the rear area of the landy, ie the pick up bit. Not the cab

the front wall of the pick up bit(commonly known as the tub) acts as the rear of the cab. this bolts onto the sills through the holes in thesides of the sills as shown in your picture, the holes in the tops of your sills are where the seat box bolts on

I am well aware of what the sill is supposed to atach to, only the rear of the tub but it is a 90 degrese to the sill (Therefore how are you supposed to bolt it on using the bolt holes in the top of the sill?). On my defender 90 there is a bracket or sumthing that allows the two to be connected. Is that what I am missing?

go to a lr specialist and get him to show you the microfiche, that way you can pick out the missing bits and order them
