Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations on where to get a brand new chassis for my defender from
It’s a 90 200tdi
What’s the best quality with a quick lead time/on shelf ready to go
Heard mixed opinions on sheilder
Richards seem the most reputable
Thanks

Maer chassis seem to have a good reputation.
Although I have no personal experience of them.

I've had three from Richards, and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Hello,I used a MAER for mine,thought it was better than what I found here in uk. The company were easy to deal with,answered all my concerns I had. When i did the work on the 90 I have I did not need to make any modifications at all and all my old parts from the 1998 300tdi 90 went on exactly as they should, very easy. Im impressed with the quality of the MAER chassis ans if I had to do it again it would be the same chassis. Up to you but you would not go wrong with it. If you want to see some photos of it just reply and ill stick a few up for you.

I am another vote for Richards. Although I have only had one it has been great. And is what I am looking at for the station wagon rebuild when that starts.

I bought a Marsland chassis and I'm happy with it. I also bought a galvanized bulkhead from Shielder which I was hesitant about due to some reviews but it has been fine.
