Hello everybody, on a mission with the landy again, I’ve been renewing some of the rusty bolts with stainless steel to make my old defender look a bit more presentable, also with the intention that before my lovely mechanic retires in the next decade he would be swapping my chassis for a galvanised one so would make it easier for him if all the bolts will come out with less effort, anyway where do these go? It looks as if they go into a chassis mount or something with some weird captive clips, I would ideally like to replace as they look ugly here is a picture
It's a good indication that the rest of your Defender is in great condition. What year is it? If it's as good as that seat box end indicates, then I'd be giving it a good clean underneath once a year, followed by a dinitrol treatment on the key rot areas, including through the chassis rails and up through the main bulkhead cavities. That way you probably won't need to do a galv chassis swap. Mine was too far gone when I bought it. Yours looks maintainable
