Thanks for that, have a couple of beers for me. If he doesn't show you may as well have his share!I know someone who used to make them for Landrover, meeting him for a drink tonight so I'll ask him then.
He does like to 'no show' regularly though..
At a guess it's just front chassis leg difference.

Not sure if there are any differences in the actual chassis. Vehicle manufacturers tend to make chassis the same for RHD and LHD, save on tooling costs.
Looking at the Richard website, I see that S3 chassis can be ordered with options for either, or universal fit. They don't offer any options for Defenders, which suggests to me that the chassis are the same.

With the Series the front will be different for the steering relay is all I can think of. I'm hoping that you're right in that the Defender will be for both to save on tooling and production runs. I'll scramble under a LHD and check if the steering box mounting holes are there both sides, thanks for your help.
That was my main concern in the steering could fit on either chassis leg. I think the fuel tank & exhaust mounts are the same, I,ll check it out as soon as I see a LHD, Thanks for your help.

Chassis is the same on all Defenders for LHD and RHD.
Panhard rod bracket is different, but that’s a separate part.
