Chassis question

Unclefester · Feb 21, 2015

Can any one help?
I've got a 1990 defender 90 200 tdi I've been offered a galvanised chassis for a 90 but it's for a td5. Is it just the engine mounts that would need changing or is it more involved? Also fuel tank ?

fuel tank is at the rear but no reason with a little work you cant fit a tank at the side or have the rear tank

So is it just the fuel tank and engine mounts?
I'm not worried about moving the fuel tank to the back.

rear roll bar is specific to td5 and youd need to pipe filler from front to rear

Will it come with reciept and be sold as a new chassis so it can assume its new id legally ?

You don't even know if it is for road use or not?

Engine/gearbox mounts.
Fuel tank is at the rear. But the few td5 chassis I have seen have had the mounts on the rear out rigger for the side mounted tank. Not sure about the 3 holes for the bracket at the front. But that would be easily sorted.
Radiator mounts are also different.

That's a good question top drive, i will check and check again I've no interest in anything dodgy,
If it's all ok how do I get the chassis number sorted out?,it's got to be completely legal for me

If it's a change in chassis then unless it's an like for like replacement with a brand new chassis then, legally you need to inform DVLA and have an SVA check carried out, you will then receive a Q registration.

No fooker ever does...

My chassis is good except for the rear crossmember and front outriggers, I was looking for another chassis to make into a rolling chassis then swap my body onto but I think I may strip and weld mine and get it galvanised, they do it local to me and I've been told they charge about £300 to do it. I don't want a Q plate or anything bogus.

Sorry i forgot its ok to run hooky unknown origin parts if your not using it on the road.

Sometimes lr owners just dont help em selves really.

Create a market an all that
