I couldn't tell you what make they are but they were out in the same place as your's but only by 1/4" though.

Here you go mate but they don't have any listed but you can give them a bell. Braking, Suspension items in Ribble Valley 4x4 LTD store on eBay!

I think they were from Ribble valley 4x4 on ebay mate, they weren't perfect and i had to do a little bit of trimming but nothing too bad and were pretty easy to fit. I had looked at the britpart one's and decided to leave them alone. I had to buy genuine corner post though as the one's from...

If only i had the time.:D:D Managed to get one side done in between seeing to my wife's horse i will get the other done tonight.

Thanks bud and yes i made them myself or making them not finished yet.

Today's little project a bit of rear tub protection.

My doors wouldn't even fit in the gap so packers werent an option i had to pull the tub up to the outriggers

You shouldn't measure from the wheel arches as the front are higher than the rear anyway so you will get a false reading. I have 20mm of packing in the rear just to make it look like it is sitting level but it isn't if that make sense.

There is some adjustment on the hinges if you can undo the screws on the bulkhead you should be able to move it.

I knocked all the tabs on the rear crossmember back and then tightened all the bolts up plus the bulkhead was slightly leaning back which made it slightly worse.

Neither was i that's why i did it before i did any paint work.:D It was more the front to back i was bother about as when i put the rear tub on initially it was sat 1/2" in front of the rear tube outriggers but touching the rear crossmember:eek: that's what prompted me to fit the seat box and...

Thank you kind Sir. I get the bare metal plated as i get it done very cheaply and it just adds protection to the parts really and if you want you can paint straight over it without any special primers or paints plus i like it.:D Anyways did a test fit of the rear tub and doors today, it...

Yes it will make it stronger if you have penetrated the inner metal, look at and heavy excavators and they do this with the gusset on the booms.

+1 very impressed with it. i have used waxoyl before and never had any problems but went with the Dinatrol this time and don't regret it.

Cheers mate :) It's all tackle that i've built up over the years. the lathe doesn't see much action now and i can remember the last time i switched my milling machine on. I used to do a bit of model engineering but now have a land Rover so i find a hammer and chisel will suffice for most jobs.:D:D

Well i'll be jealous ;) , Wish i had gone down the V8 route rather than what i've done.

Had an hour on the lathe tonight to make my bulkhead fitting for my screen washers. They are passing through where the rubber grommets go for the wipers if it was LHD.

I will agree with the vent been in would be nice and that they are part of the characteristics of the Defender but the price of good td5 bulkheads was just ridiculous compared to the puma ones so they were sacrificed I'm afraid. Anyways I live in Huddersfield and we only get one day of sunshine...

It does indeed,I will be fabricating my own dash.

The fabricated arse end looks spot on Matey. As for the rust that's why i went the new chassis route as i was finding a new hole every other week or so, i think i had replaced most of the chassis with patches :D:D
