What people are trying to tell you is, 100" is not a standard. 90 inch and 110 inch are the standards, if you want a 100" you need to cut down a 110.

Today may just be your lucky day!
A friend has just converted his 110" to a soft top and has the side panels and roof. It had an front external roll cage which came through the roof above the driver and passenger head level but guess you could cover with a round plate and fill?
If you want to mail me your contact details then I'll ask him to call you. He is based in Tring which is 20 miles or so north of London.

I have a mate that has taken his 100 inch back to 110, so he has the side panels, roof and tub all sat there, not sure if he has plans for them but they were very well shortened and have not been damaged in the time they were on the vehicle.

It's a disco chassis engine ect etc only the body shell is changed.
not strictly true once you've changed the outriggers and rear crossmember.

Nope, was a 110, shortened to 100 inch a lot of years ago.
Now decided that he needs the full length again so has "repaired" his chassis back to 110.

I'm doing the same thing and so I have read if you keep the chassis at the original length and you can replace out riggers as they replaceable parts, if you keep the axles, props, engine and gearbox this all adds up for the points system and entititals you to the Discovery or Range Rover registration which ever chassis you use.
I want to do the station wagon, and use it for a lot of towing as well for long distance travelling and use recycle waste cooking oil to cut the fuel cost down, but back to the towing I have read so many reports of rear crossmembers being bent out of shape while doing serious towing. I'm going to make my own re-enforced crossmember to make myself feel more comfortable while towing a flatbed trailer when loaded up. The rear crossmember are mostly 2mm I want to go to 5mm and use a length of boxed section to do this and still re-enforce the towing point, so may think this a bit over the top but that may be so but I won't be left replacing a bent back end in the future.
Has anyone fitted rear long range fuel tanks to a discovery hybrid and are they an easy fit???

You'll need 110 bits and then make them.
