Yes they are stainless. They are a4-80 , the same as bzp 8.8. Bought from yrm https://yrmit.co.uk/product/land-rover-defender-discovery-1-range-rover-classic-stainless-steel-rear-shock-mount-chassis-a4-80-fixing-kit/

I only got another 2 weeks, depending on weather, and then I’m working for a month or so. ☹️ Hopefully I can get n/s front wing fitted and then get rest of n/s stuff put back on. I can then jack up o/s and if chassis is sound, crack on with box section and rear wheel arch area...

Well that was interesting ..... Thought I’d squirt some dinitrol cavity wax in the round crossmember before welding the turret on..... Almost finished welding the large piece on when ....... FLASH BANG!!!! Seems dinitrol has a flashpoint !!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek: Scared the Bejesus or of me.

Like my double ended paint stirrer??? Red one side , black the other. Lol When I’ve eventually finished I’m going to cut through the stick and measure how much paint is on there !!!

Welded and Redded !!

I was going to do some welding but the weather was crap till about 3.00 :( Tomorrow hopefully

Silicone pipes fitted. :) My turrets have a flat edge on on one side of the base to stop rubbing on the inner wing. Did yours have this as well? As I haven’t fitted the new inner wing yet, Do you know if it faces towards engine or towards road?

Bling day :D:D:cool::cool:

2nd coat of black. Back to doing ‘tools’ stuff tomorrow.
