New to Defenders so forgive silly question. How easy is it to repair the 'rotten' piece in the photo? It's fastened with pop rivets. There's a ply floor, but to remove that I have to take the sides away too. If I drill out the rivets will that free the 'threshold'. Is the replacement piece readily available? '01 110, by the way. Thanks in advance........

That's the one. Easy to fit, use stainless self tappers. You may have to drill some new holes in as it likely won't line up as per the original. Fifteen minute job start to finish.
 
LRI do one with rubber seal too - as original on County (at least) - might ( .......!) just ease the onset of the next lot of corrosion. I'm just about to order one for my x reg. Enjoy, A
 
Never too late I always say! Picked up my 'Threshold' from Post Office this morning and had it fitted by the afternoon. I ordered the one from YRM, with a rubber seal to go along with it, £17 + £9.....

The state of the old one.....

Nothing's ever simple with a Land Rover, had to trim the ply floor, an angle grinder can 'cut' wood!.....

Little self tappers are provided but my old one had been pop riveted and the holes were too big so I popped the new one too.....

Gonna put a lick of creosote on that before you bury it ?
 
When we got our 110, we ripped the carpet out of the back. The floor was beyond repair. It was a pain in the arse to sort out but now, at least, we have the confidence to know it is sorted.
