    Plated door hinges

    Cheers ogb.... The supplier reckoned they'd be fine though might dull down over time.... Have fitted them unpainted and they look fine along with the bright galv body cappings against the nato satin green I ended up painting it... Good to know they're likely to last OK from your experience Cheers K

    Cheers... I have etch primer and am repainting the whole thing..... Just wondering if anyone had fitted them bare plated and how they held up. Thanks K

    Plated door hinges

    Cheers Col.... Not too worried about the looks (it's a working landy and i've just fitted all shiny galv body capping cos the oem ones rusted away).... More wondering if the plating would last more than storage/transit. Even I don't like great rusty bits of cast metal hanging off the sides...

    Doing a refresh on the 90.... I've got new hinges from Britpart.... They're a nice bright zinc finish... I was wondering about rubbing them with waxoyl and fitting them as they are.... Has anyone fitted them unsprayed.... And if so, how did it go? Cheers Keith

    Yep.... The pre-electronic ones are popular abroad..... Their primary security isn't the best... Land rover obviously think we still live in the innocent '50s :-)..... Tho, having seen chavs swanning off with the latest crop of keyless luxury motors without even getting their hands dirty I do...

    Corner repair

    Hi All I'm giving my 90 a bit of a refresh... One of the jobs is replacing the passenger side top bulkhead corner.... I've found plenty of repair sections but they all seem to be the outer skin... Does anyone know of a source of a corner that includes the double skin (only need up to the vent...
