Yes, as in first pic. But it's not easy to see.

After some delays due to holidays, I managed to make some progress on the internal panels. I was dreading fitting the seat box, as I could see that there was a slight bend on the rear rail. It must have happened when I riveted it together. However, after some tweaking, I managed to get the seatbox to fit. I had to open up some holes for some more clearance. I used some dum dum sealer on the base flange and made some rubber gaskets for between the seat box and the chassis brackets. I think it looks a reasonably good fit. I also bought some second hand inertia reel bulkhead brackets, repaired, blasted and painted them. You can see them fitted with the reel mounting plate on top. Making some progress now!

Happy with progress ,I moved onto the tunnel and floor panels. I fitted some wiring to the reverse light switch and fed it through into the engine bay for connection later as I think it may be a real challenge to get in to after the tunnel is fitted. I applied some dum dum on the passengers floor and on the tunnel. Not sure if it needs it but Land Rovers don’t need an excuse to leak!
It still needs a bit of tweaking, but it seems to be quite a decent fit.

I thought I would try a front door on, so fitted the hinges and gave it a try. As you can see it’s a mile out!
I expected this, but not by that much…. Anyway, it could do with the bulkhead aligning as the chassis bracket is not fitted. I’ll try and get it better next time
