Do you guys use any sealant, either on the glass or on the frame? I’ve seen sikaflex mentioned, but I’m sure there wasn’t anything on the original.

Been wiring up the rear lights today and it’s not gone great. The all new Wipac lights re pretty low quality and one tail/stop light won’t even hold the bulb, plus the connector plate inside revolves so the contacts don’t line up. Those Lucas connectors are really c**p - what’s the go to...

Yeah and I’m quite worried about that. I want to do it myself but have never tried before. Seen lots of broken screens YouTube :-)

Got to put the windscreen back in soon and I’m looking at the seals. A genuine one is available for around £130 - can I get away with a non genuine one? Cheers

Does this help?

Took 100% advantage of the weather and have now almost finished the painting. Only the doors to go. As a result, Mandy’s back end has had some much needed attention. Getting there!

It’s a very early 1986 110 David. So pre defender. It’s got the 12J in it. The diagram is really useful. I’ll see if I have those brackets. Many thanks sir.

Not that I can identify. It’s a mystery (as Toyah would say).

Primed the renovated door frames and a load of other bits. Amazingly, the door still fits the vehicle!

I’ve got two stays on each side. I suppose they are both on the rear wing, yes :-) The rear-most ones are fitted ok, as I found the hole in the tub but the front ones (located just in front of the rear arch) I have no idea if where they bolt to. There just doesn’t seem to be a bolt in reach...

Morning all. Couple of problem areas in my restoration that I didn’t take photos of. Can someone tell me where the front wing stays on a 110 pickup bolt to on the chassis? The ones just forward of the rear wheel, at the front of the tub. Second, there’s a metal P-clip on the transmission...

The roads are getting worse by the day, but I guess the that’s the same everywhere.

They look pretty similar. Thanks Phil. I only need the bases so now no can match to the backs. Cheers.

I at least want to keep the bases matching the backs, but thanks for the input.

Hi all. I’ve got a pair of front seats I want to renovate and the bases could do with a new cover. Can someone identify this material please? It’s grey vinyl and has a weave like pattern printed on it. Is it what Britpart just a call ‘grey’?? Cheers, Jim

Painted all the front suspension components in chassis paint (including the blooming springs) and fitted new shocks. No more horrific knocking from the front now. And got into 3rd around the field. Bonus.

I’ve got an opportunity to buy and fit anti roll bars to my ‘86 110. Is it worth doing? What am I likely to gain? The vehicle will be used mostly on road and in fields/around the farm etc but no mad off-roading. It’s all totally standard otherwise. Cheers, Jim

Took my daughter for a spin round the field in the work-in-progress 110. Oh the joy of having her running at last.

So they’re M6 and not M8. I guess the 8mm hole is to allow for some standard LR misalignment then. Thanks for that - most helpful. I appreciate it.
