No idea, but if you measure your S3 I'll measure my 90 and then you'll know.

Series 2/3 and defender bulkheads are the same width, and the doors are the same profile so the tub width should be the same. Actually I fitted a defender roll hoop to my series and that lined up perfectly so yes they are the same width. Not sure if there are any construction differences, can't be much though.

They should be the same size, it’s just the axles that are wider on the coil-sprung axles, hence the plastic arches on Defenders which adds the extra width.
