They look a little bit on the industrial side, was looking for something a bit on the smaller side, the ones that I can remember were like a pair of side cutters, may try and get a set of these industrial looking ones though, they may just do the job...

Blue point used to do them, just not seen them in ages and in the past when i did work on cars I found them really useful, especially for opening up grommet holes to pass cables through them, someone must still do them or have a set hanging around, don't care what the cost is, just really could...

Does anyone know where I can find a set of O-Ring Spreaders from? The ones that I am looking for at 3 Point spreaders, i.e. like a set of circlip pliers but with an extra point... James

Thanks LR110, Well that has settle it, I will order one from Mud today, it looks like it will fit in OK with the present dashboard and hopefully the guys at Exmoor will be able to cover it when they do the dashboard. I will wait till I have got it to see about how I will mount the radio, I am...

Sp00k, Now that's Industrial, does it come with a Gantry Crane and 3 Phase electrics! Nice Photo, though it's what I am trying to get away from, each to their own, and I am sure you love it, I just am maybe too soft around the edges for that one!

Lr110, like the mud stuff one that's really cool actually looks like it came with a Land Rover. Just out of curiosity, how is the radio supported ????

Hi Kes86, Wish i had also, though some sites say that its not the phone and instead its the iOS7 thats the issue, some others blame the phone, tis a little annoying, especially as i want to spend some money on bits, might stick with a Single DIN unit for he moi can always order another...

Here is a photo that was sent to me by Raptor Engineering.... I will be mounting Ham Radio's in this vehicle but not in the dash, maybe in the cubby box or above the main windscreen, I need to install a Double DIN Radio unit in this vehicle but this may change as I have just found out that my...

Thanks again Litch, I have just heard back from Raptor and they do a special order double DIN unit that actually looks quite nice, still industrial, but looks to be the best option to date.

Thanks, It does look quite nice, but again very industrial, though once Exmoor have covered it it may smooth it off a little, I have looked at there website which is fun at the best of times, never come across a site with so many adverts and pop-ups before! I may have to stick with Raptor...

Thanks for this and thanks for the Photo Litch,well it looks like I have to go down the Raptor route, the only problem here is modifying this for a Double DIN display unit! I have a really nice radio that I took out of my last car that I would like to fit into this one, and with that and the Ham...

I have a 1991 Defender 110 SW 200Tdi. I am looking for a nice Dashboard to install either a single din radio or preferably a double din unit into. I have seen the Raptor ones, and even though it looks like they are the only ones out there and i will end up using them, they do look a little...

I know this is not really an update to what is happening with the project at the moment, but I am happy with it in a 'Sad' almost Geeky way. But I managed to locate a Brand New Owners Manuals for the exact year of my Defender! See I told you it was Sad! As for the project, the New...

OK, this may sound a little silly, but i am trying to plan a new shed build with limited width, and I have mothballed the project vehicle in tarpaulins and therefore cannot get access to it, so I was wondering if anyone has either a line drawing with measurements on it or a handy tape measure to...

Thanks as ever Kes86, I do know of a friendly Pub Landlord so I may have a word with him, but I was going to contact that guy that you past on to me... Your help is much appreciated.... I moth-balled the landy today in tarpaulins to try and keep her a little dry until I get the new workshop...

Thanks flat it will be a while before I get it going I'll keep you all informed, thanks guys.

Kes86, thanks again for the info, very much appreciated. On another note you mentioned about Argon mix for MIG's over here, any chance you can let me know where I can try over here.

GOLF !!!! That's it I'm binning it! There is no way that I'm gonna wear Rupert the bear trousers and start trying to hit a small ball with an expensive stick!

Hi Kes86, Nice to see a local on the forum... Thankfully it is still within the 2 years, so I will re-Tax before Christmas... Don't really want to get it re-Tested, though that said i will be replacing most of the bodywork here and it will be stripped down to the chassis to enable me to check...

Was this fitted to an earlier bulkhead or did you use Td5 bulkhed? The problem here is that we have no scrap yards with parts to measure and play with, and as i will proberbly order a nice and shiny galvenised bulkhead i will need to know it will fit into a 1991 200 Tdi...
