hi, i have some of these in a box of land rover parts i have. can anyone identify it? if it is in fact a land rover part cheers

understood - thanks all :)

just looking at these - are the 300tdi ones the same as the TD5 ? ie. loads wider like in this link http://www.thelannydoctor.co.uk/products/55-genuine-defender-seat-box-300-tditd5.aspx if thats the case the blue one i pictured is a 200 TDI one?

if you could it would be interesting to know

just read this - i didn't realise there was a difference - do you know how much narrower a 200 one is than the 300 one that discokids has measured up?

excellent thanks very much - just what i needed to know.

hi, i am after these 2 measurements (the 2 red arrows) on an early defender seat box if someone has one i would appreciate if you could measure for me thanks.

these are the finished (pre painted) hinges ive got them working now, the wings are a bit 'floppy' i was going to build a frame and strengthen them so they stay in position but i might just make a stand like a bonnet stay that clips into them and supports them from the floor when they are...

fitted the newly painted roof and sides - it has helped to line up the rear door a bit but will still need some work

got one of the wing hinges bolted up - works ok in principle, the wing needs a bit more support but thats not a big problem it only folds back as far as in the picture as it catches the door hinge but i'd prefer it this way over having larger hinges - its enough to get really good access to the...

it's 2k acrylic- i was tempted to change the colour but i quite like the origanal limestone seems ok so far i'm no painting expert with my other resto's ive usually got someone to paint them for me but with the landy i just want something tidy but use able so i thought i'd do this one myself

i've digressed from the folding wings for a bit but i got the new doors painted today

once its built i dont have any plans to ever sell it so i dont mind spending on stuff but i have a sympathetic right foot so we should be ok ...... this is a picture of the 1st hinge ive made sat in position - doesn't really show much but better than nothing im making some supports for the...

i think the problem with the door locks and strikers is it wont pull it tight enough - just spent ages googling pictures of different flush fitting catches but i cant find the ideal ones but thinking about it if i use standard over centre latches the lower ones will be hidden by the A bar and i...

just shows nearly everything's been done 50 years before ive made one of the hinges today - 95% confident i'll be able to do it now the only thing im unsure of is how to fasten them shut i was thinking of mounting 4 overcentre clamps on the front panel it would be handy to have them there but...

i will post up some pics or a video clip - ive looked round and can't find many who have done it before - plenty of flip fronts hinged forward and backwards but this is the only hinged wing series or defender i can find doing it this way you will see the external hinge but i think thats a small...

thanks - ive actually remade the engine mounts since the ones i posted on here for some reason my engine seems further to the left than that one but ive managed to get the standard 300 turbo on now - i was confident i'd got it in the correct position - i take it that ones factory?

got the bulkhead welding finished and painted it today also put some paint on the new side frames (not sure of the tech term) only one pictures but i have got both paint went on ok - a few runs but its nice and thick - might have to get a bit of practice in before i do the doors tho. i have...

yeah i'd looked up rebel - i dont think they are still around - when i mean this style i dont mean a rebel one its just that type how it goes through the top of the wing i'm after if there was another make that did that i'd like to find out my engine is a 300TDi

anyone know if this style of snorkel can be bought or is it home made? if it is one you can buy whats the name of it? the bit i like is how it goes through the wing on the top and not in the side it's how i want mine (except on the other side) if it is home made whats the pipe dia? cheers
