Defender Tailgate Half swing door fitting

LandyAndyB · Aug 17, 2022

I have a Defender Pick up with a tailgate half door. I've just purchased a swing door conversion kit, but unbelievably the manufacturer doesn't supply fitting instructions. It seems simple enough but does anyone have any experience and or instructions?

I haven't, but am interested ... which manufacturer, do you have a link ?

I bought it from BritPart its the part number DA6520, i'm sure I'll figure it out somehow, but you'd think instructions would be supplied.

Well that's Britpart ....

Looks like you assemble the door and lock etc and offer it up (?)
Anyway, send us lots of before during and after pics ....

Yes I think its trial and error or offering up. I will definitely take photos and post before and after.

It's just standard parts as used on a safari door.
If you are stuck about what goes where just check a manual or exploded parts drawing.
