I had guessed that was the case, although there is no evidence of there ever being one in the right place. Any advice appreciated on how to install a new one in the correct position and inline with the otherside Thanks!

Yep thanks, on mobile devices its something you dont really change but in HTML you can detect the device the site is being viewed on and take action. It was more of a heads up, than anything. Thanks

Hi I tried to add some photos to a post and it said they were to large. Can this be fixed I like the facility, much like like the mig welding forum. But I don't want to have to resize on my laptop to post. Also on my phone when in the text window I can't see any text when phone in landscape...

Hi I am rust repairing my Defender and have moved onto the bulkhead. Can you tell me why my bulkhead outriggers are not inline with each other. It looks like one side has had a new one welded in but I can't tell if it has been put in wrong, it looks like the original outrigger was cut off...

You see the hole in box section above jack hole, under the red weld magnet.

Is it possible to insert a picture here from my camera phone? Or do I have to give a URL?

Yes, but above that is the box section where the bumper mounts to. This also has a hole in it on the end plate, on mine this was all rotten on both sides I m thinking of not drilling the hole on the plate and filing the box with waxoyl before welding up.

Hello I am rebuilding my dumb irons and want to ask if I need the hole in the end plate? I guess its for somewhere to access chassis for waxoyl et al. But it looks like a reason why they corrode so much as moisture can enter there. Also I have removed all the rust and etched primed...

Thanks for the replies! On a side note damaged the swan neck on my welder today fixing my dump irons. I bought a new one but am going to try running a M6 tap down it BUT I don't have one so I was going to order a set off of Amazon. Question is do I just need a metric set or a mix for doing my...

After taking off the front wheel inner arch I can see the suspension turrets are rusted through! I know the previous owner had the defender.lifted. I read a.few how to change suspension howtos and it seems I might as well change the dampers. Question is how will I know what size I will...

In the Haynes restoration manual is suggests using a outrigger that has extra flanges at right angles left and right. See part 17 in the image, i found a few companies with images with the flanges but after phoning it seems they dont have the flanges after all. It appears that the genuine...

Thanks for the quick reply does the thread discuss these structures? If so I must have missed the details. It looks quite involved as it appears to tapper off at the top and have thinner section at the front. I spoke with some bulkhead repair companies and I get the impression it should be...

Can anyone advise me on what the internal structure should look like where the bolts for the windscreen hinges to through the bulkhead. Mine are rusted away, I can find a few pictures on Google but can't see if it should be a box section or just angled. Also anyone know if I can buy them...

I have a J reg Defender sitting in my garage, I started trying to repair rust on the bulkhead and ran out of time before I had to leave the country. I am back and on the drive back from Heathrow was surprised by the lack of defenders on the m25! I believe they have put restrictions on...
