I think I prefer the previous approach more. Will see how it goes with seat hunting before determining anything about cutting and welding. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
I was told by the workshop that it’s held and assembled by rivets? I hope I got the word correct. However I saw a couple of videos on YouTube and there is certainly plenty of welding going.
Any ideas about brake calipers? Which and what size of rotors is commonly used? Brakes are bad and the truck stops the day after tomorrow. I assume I’ll need to upgrade them when going with a bigger engine.

Are the wheels discovery 1 steels (fitted the wrong way round)?

Press harder..
You have the biggest standard brakes on the rear. You should have the same size on the front some people change the pads for a different compound
Have noticed the rear anti roll bar is missing on the axle.
Thank you very much for spotting that. I could never in a million years figure that they belonged to discovery, yes they are fitted the wrong way, to add extra width after they had spacers fitted, we flipped them today and one of them is missing a good chunk of its edge. I have no idea how the tire is still there.

I am used to a small tiny cooper s with upgraded brake set, I wondered if the defender had a brake servo installed or not, the workshop pointed it out for me.
