Yes there is an Alloy chassis but you have to have them made to order. Try googling Bowler widcat and North OffRoad

If it's an aluminium chassis, would it not 'rot' anyways by usin' steel fixings and brackets etc?
It widnae be a Galvie chassis ye're on about, would it?

NO never
and not a good idea realy
you could go space frame but even them are usally crome molly ( steel) like the Bowler widcat and North OffRoad stuff or even a lotus 7

a good ladder, if you have one can be hot dip gavanised, adds about 30 - 50 Kg, depending on how good the operatour is.

i have seen SS ladders built but then thay cost about 1/2 the price of the LR its self.

Aluminum, as posted above will react where brackets are attached, it will even react with a nut.
aluminum will work harden, ie like bending a paper clip untill it snaps, not so good for a LR

actually aluminium has been its official spelling and pronunciation for some time. Funny etymology behind that.

And.. rust aluminium may not.. but it does corrode something fierce in contact with certain other metals.. such as steel. Not an Ideal chassis metal.. but it has been used.

sorry for the spelling poeple its even hard for me to read your spelling with the yer and all but i am trying...
and does it realy matter where im from??? i have a landy that makes us builed from the same material does it not...
but if u insist im a paramedic from israel. i live in a city called eilat, very sunny actualy it rains here only 6 times a year... well desert realy but we have the red sea right near us so we could cool ourselfes down in the summer. we r realy close to egipt and jordan... look it on google earth.
im lucky to live near jordan cos they have loads of spare parts for landys cos of the jordanian army reserves... lots of old landys...

rain 6 times a year? must be a mite damp as it only rains in scotland once a year and thats wetter than mrs mings skangers after listening to van doonican songing about ming's gaylander
