Bolt Changing to Stainless Steel leaves them exposed on inside

Hi All,

I ve been changing the door bolts on my 110 for SS and where the door hinges bolt to the door post I can see the threads of the bolts behind the seatbelt on the inside. There looks like there should be some sort of cover for the inside to cover this as there are two screw fixing points above and below where the bolts are showing, but no cover on either side. I could understand if one had fallen or been taken off but its both sides.

Did LR just not fit any ?, or are they missing ?

Cheers
Jerry

It's a Land Rover not a Bentley Continental S2 Flying Spur. If needs must just go buy some domed plastic thread caps of the right depth and diameter.

mark them with a pen and cut them down with a grinder if you're that bothered about them?

I thought I might get the "Bentley" comment, you dont understand I'm saying should a cover be there as there are fixing positions on the door post ?

Not with st/st, they'll rust post cutting unless treated.

We don't understand your question, which component screws are you talking about...A pillar or B pillar? You need to be clearer + ideally post clear pics.
