Very pretty but why 5mm box and 6mm plates considering the wall thickness of the rest of the chassis?
2mm is normal thickness of gearbox crossmember.

It'll still weld up with some prep, plus that chassis is being changed for a new one soon which will be 5mm!

Yup big enough lol. I've made closing plates for the back too, to stop extra crud getting in.
It's closer to £160 plus delivery for a rear X and when it needs an exhaust, various bits of wiring sorting, 4 tyres, and (maybe) a 200 tdi conversion why shouldn't I save a wee bit here.
I'm still considering buying a rear X but might worry about that once it has an mot lol

Really? I've had a look and couldn't see them (but I've been known miss the obvious before)
Bit of improvisation this would do nicely

Discovery to defender gearbox convertor, simple enough if you have a lathe. This is it about 50% complete, two of the three lips are turned and then it needs a hole drilling and tapping along with a 5/8th hole in either end with a 3/4" solid in the to separate them
Started life as a 50mm bar and turned to the correct diameter
I'll make a separate thread detailing it incase anyone needs to search in the future but I used some pinched designs (essentially going to compound the info)

Took one look at silver, durty and salty complete with fat arsed cat prints over the bonnet, contemplated getting bucket and sponge out in the cold and wind...ended up at the garage power wash instead...worth £4 today.

No, this part doesn't need splines.
The M10 x 1.5 grub screw is all it needs as it moves the quadrant back to fender spec

Bobtailed the disco. RobinT reckons there's summat wrong wiv it. But I'm sure I've cut it in the right place..
And decided that if a defender can have a removable transmission tunnel. To make it easier to get at the bell housing bolts. So can a disco..
