Series door bottoms

Oldseadog · Jun 1, 2011

Does anyone make a repair kit for the Series II/III door bottom frames? In common with every Landy I have ever owned the front bottom corner rots away and allows the doors to flap in the wind ... well, not seat properly when closed!

Surely, someone must have come up with something over the past 60 years to repair the things!

I will await your expert comments, apart from, "It's a Landy, what do you expect?"!

Yep.

Before they dissolve completely surely just past the insides with a good thick layer of fibre glass. Slight bodge but wont ever go anywhere!

Try this 020 door repair section or this Land Rover Defender/ series Door Repair section | eBay UK other than these to weld in place I don't think there is anything else on the market

.

Hope this helps

its notan amazing fix but use a wire brush to clear it up abit then sand hopefully at some point ull find some solid metal, get some steel strip (i found Steel Angle | Angle Iron | Mild Stainless Steel | Aluminium Angle | Stainless Steel Angle | Online are very good

thats about 15/20mm wide (depends on how bad it is) and use a low power setting on the welder, i found that the 3mm it abit thick so id advise no thicker than 3 (with 3mm it wil probally need a filing), paint it in a dark colour if u dnt have the clour to match ur landy, i found that method to work very well

Thanks for that, guys. I was thinking about approaching one of the local tinbashers to see if they could bend the profile for me.

Will let you know how I get on with them.
