Getting to the point of putting all the bits back together but finding that I've either lost the nuts and bolts over the past 3 years or maybe they sheared off or were unrecognisable.
Is there anywhere that details the sizes of all the nuts and bolts required to put a Series 3 LWB back together??

There's the parts list! There's a schedule at the end that lists evey nut bolt screw n washer. The workshop manual also has information.

I can only find serial numbers/part numbers. Does anywhere exist that gives measurements so I can source them myself without needing to find specific part numbers?

The bottom section of each parts diagram sometimes but not always has bolt and nut dimensions and alternatives but not the whole manual. If such a thing exists let us know? Anyone?

such a list would be useful, you could pick things up nearby instead of ordering and waiting etc.

I have often taken a particular bolt to the local hardware shop and they generally have it providing it is metric - or something more or less identical - not an option if you don't have one to start with.

Most of mine was held together with coach bolts............

I just estimated sizes and ordered a big pile of metric stainless steel replacements. If it fitted it went in. No good if you want originality.

High value classic car restoration involves using all the original bolts n nuts where possible, what a flaff. It would be great to have such a list. Betcha such a thing exists in JLR's vaults.

There is a chap on the internet who sells bolts packages, I recall reading about it many moons ago in LR magazine, I think its about £900 or so for the Defender pack but I would assume that comes with a list. I was put off by the price but with hind sight it wasn't a bad deal. LR fasteners rings a bell.
