Hello
I've recently bought this 1983 110 hi cap and was wondering if all hi cap rear tubs fit all Landies - could I fit a spanking new one on this old chassis?
Thanks for any advice.
You're right ,there's not a lot wrong with it, I'm purely thinking along the lines of end result:time and money spent ratio. A new one gets me a perfect tub and a restored tub gets me a perfect outside, with a banged up or checker plated inside for the same money.I appreciate it might just be the picture, but there does not look to be anything wrong with that one! Why do you need a replacement? It was my understanding they were constructed in a similar way to the standard tub so you should be bale to remove and re-rivet the panels for repair or replacement rather than swap out the whole thing.
Here in the western world we have this magic thing called EBAY which is on another magic thing called INTERNET try it !! you might just find defender partsCan u hlp me find used defender accessories??

Won't take any pictures too close. You may see the odd scratch
Owned this now over 20 years and only trouble i find is they are lively on the rear end when off reading as there is no weight but heavy springs.
I can see the reasoning behind that, that is my view on doors. However, unless it is going to be a show truck rather than a work truck I worry you would go to all the effort and expense to repair and restore the inside of the tub only for it to revert back to the damaged dented worked condition on its first outing being used. Although I do not know the current condition of the inside unless it is full of holes I would be more inclined to carefully straighten out the worst of the dents, maybe repaint it, and then use it as it is.You're right ,there's not a lot wrong with it, I'm purely thinking along the lines of end result:time and money spent ratio.

It's the fitment I'm interested in.
