Hi all, does anyone know where I could get hold of a rear tub in reasonable condition around the Lancs, Yorks, Cheshire/Merseyside area for a 1978 S3 88" diesel landy? I've tried looking on ebay but the only thing I can find is an S1 with no tailgate and an S1 86"
Really need to get a new one as the centre bulkhead on mine is ruined and I'd really like to get it back to near original condition.
On another note, is it possible to replace the centre bulkhead (behind the seats) or does it have to be the entire tub gets replaced. Sorry for the questions, first timeowning a Landy and still learning

i think the centre could be changed over, if you were able to get hold of one would be good, someone on here may be able to help you out.

You'll have more luck with an independent landy/ 4x4 garage. There must be a few within a 20 mile radius. If you can scavenge the tub from a break up that's the best way.either that or just buy a heap to break up for spares.

My series 3 restoration required that the bulkhead be repaired as it was in a very damaged condition.....
I used a sheet of Aluminium to replace the damage.....
I welded it to the existing framework...
Good as new.....Chris
