This year the old girl is getting a make over. The extent of which will include new doors and a full respray. I have sourced a supplier for the doors but cannot decide which doors to opt for. There are 2 types which cost exactly the same:
1) DEFENDER 90 110 LH GALVANISED PUSH BUTTON DOOR (ALUMINIUM SKIN)
The frame has been galvanised to give it the best possible anti corrosion properties in the same process that Land Rover now galvanise their latest Puma rear and front doors. This is also the case for the inside of the frames too. The door skin has also been painted in primer before fitting to the frame to prevent corrosion of the aluminium skin as on standard doors the skins and frame are bare metal which leads to the corrosion that plagues so many doors!
The galvanised frame is marine bonded prior to fitting the aluminium skin to stop the two surfaces rubbing together. This stops any drumming effect & makes the door feel alot stronger & tighter all around. It also acts as another barrier between the 2 different metals
2) DEFENDER 90 110 LH GALVANISED PUSH BUTTON DOOR (GALV STEEL SKIN)
This has been galvanised to give it the best possible anti corrosion properties in the same process that Land Rover now galvanise their latest Puma rear and front doors. This is also the case for the inside of the frames too. The door skin is also galvanised so in essence you have the perfect door.
The galvanised frame is marine bonded prior to fitting the galvanised skin to stop the two surfaces rubbing together. This stops any drumming effect & makes the door feel a lot stronger & tighter all around.
Which would be the better purchase and why. To me both have pros and cons which makes my decision a tough one. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
