    90 Windscreen seal

    Hi, The three groves are one thin one for the frame then two, one must be for the glass and the other I presume to allow expansion, its a Britpart seal I have read they are the best ones for fitting.

    90 Windscreen seal

    I am about to try and fit a new windscreen seal, the new seal has three groves and I cant figure out which one the glass fits into, its nearly a year since I took the screen out and the old seal was slightly different anyway, alas getting someone else to fit it isn't an option thanks is advance,

    Tub not fitting

    Watching this with interest as I am about to reassemble my own 90 using a diferent rear tub, and I was wondering what people use for the pads that go between the tub and chassis, I have seen them on eBay but they look a bit thicker than the ones that were previously fitted to mine and I fear...

    Bulkhead vent flap

    Landry 90 tub cappings

    Hi, I am in the throws of giving my 90 a respray and some new doors and another rear tub, when I was prepinig the new (to me) tub I found foam strips where the cappings sit, is this a Land Rover fitting or has someone done this to separate the two metals.

    Electric fan for 90 200tdi conversion.

    I just made a square frame with light flat bar, the fan attaches to this, it sits in the groves for the fan coweling at the bottom and bolts to the frame at the top using the wee studs for the cowel at the top, if that makes sense,
