My special landy based 4x4 off roader is coming together but I'm struggling to find chassis parts...

Where can I either go to find the parts, or, get a picture of a chassis with part numbers?

Basically I need the parts as if you were doing a coil over conversion on a leaf spring motor.

Right now I need the bits of the chassis were the radius arms bolt to and the top spring seat/hangers.

Can anyone point me??

LG,
Steve

I think I'd start here repair panels and body mounts for all Landrovers, including Range Rover Classic, Defender, Series, Discovery

I know they do radius arm mounts for the axle ends.

Otherwise I think you'll find that you are better off cutting them off an old donor RRC/Disco chassis.

It can be done and done well. I would strengthen the chassis where the coil springs sit as the leaf sprung chassis isn't designed to take much stress there.

Bear in mind that you will run into SVA trouble with modification and it maybe cheaper and easier to get an old Defender 90.
