    Soft nudge bar removal D2 facelift

    If you mean one like this, mine was fixed on with M8 x 150 bolts, access to the nuts behind is a bit difficult, you may not see them, but reach up and feel around for them, fairly sure you will only get a spanner up there, mine were rusted tight though. There was 2 holes about 10mm on the front...

    Galvanised Chassis swap shopping list

    Brake pipes, clutch if you don't know when it was done. Chassis loom if rear crossmember has been changed and someone's hacked it off and just taped it all back together. But basically anything, cos when you start stripping out that shopping list will grow and grow and grow. Good luck.

    For Sale FREE defender jack

    I read that thread, I too am paranoid about rising oil levels on our d2. I had a clear out of scrap metal over the weekend as I had a focus to be collected by the scrappers and unfortunately the jack went in too.

    Hi Martin, I didn't hear back from you after I replied to your pm back in September, so I just assumed you no longer needed it.

    Britpart hinges - black rubber rings?

    I had 8 rings, fitted them to the bulkhead bolts, in my mind it might stop the bolt rubbing the paint off. This doesn't happen with the door side of the hinge cos you tighten the nut inside on those. (My logic anyway) The shims, I used these despite the reasons you give, there is enough of a...

    Britpart hinges - black rubber rings?

    I fitted these to mine, no problems with the plastic shims. As stated already I used the black rings under the bolt heads on the bulkhead.

    Hole behind door striker

    Yrm do a striker post repair panel, but it's more designed to replace the bottom part that melts away (where the seat box bolts to it) It might reach up over the striker, but i can't remember how high it comes up. I cut mine off about 20mm above the lower of the 2 pan head screws. You are...

    Autosparks chassis loom

    It comes fitted with lucas bullet terminals which fit into lucas 4 way connectors which you then plug your towbar electrics into. (That's how I did mine anyway)

    Speedo out.

    Mine generally reads about 10% lower than gps speed, I've just learned to live with it like that.

    Autosparks chassis loom

    I fitted one to my 90 a couple of years ago, during chassis swap. As stated above it connects to main loom on bulkhead, goes right back to and includes multi plugs and bullet connectors for rear lights. I think it may be the same one for a 110, cos there was a lot of excess length on it...

    air filter query

    As far as I know, it's still on the "outside" of the filter element so it shouldn't cause the scenario that you're concerned about. Is it item 3 on the drawing?

    Windscreen seals - Easy to fit or Garage job?

    It's not a difficult job to do, possible on your own but easier with an assistant. The seal has 3 slots, as stated before make sure you get it the right way round. I did crack mine refitting it, but I was rushing and it was a cold day (and starting to get dark) I hit the seal at top of screen...
