not sure bout kits but screw fix is good fer bolts n stuff

take a look at richard's chassis they should be able to point you in the right direction. failing that give LR orphanage a call as they know their stuff about restoring landy's and should be able to provide some assistance.

good luck, you have taken on a biggggg task!

In addition to the cost you may experience galvanic action due to the dissimilar metals - where the stainless contacts the iron.

I'd recommend using a wax undercoating and then a wax coating on the studs and bolts during and after assembly.

agreed , would still use stainless tho, just a good coating of protection during assembly will be fine, i use screwfix or Tools Fasteners and Fixings : Fastfix Direct for stainless, prob not the cheapist but of high quality never the less, quite a job in all a complete change over, good luck

many thanks for the input guys, much appreciated!!!

no worries, best of luck mate, hopes your inside to do the job, looks like rain!
