When I re chassis'ed Noel, I used a Richards chassis (👍👍👍) And replaced all bushes, engine and gearbox mounts , brake pipes, clips/brackets etc with new.

That don’t need a re spray :). J

As above, fit with no washers. And don't tighten. Then add washers when your are doing the alignment. You can cut a chunk out of the washers, so that they are U shaped spacers instead. Saves you taking the bolt out ....

Ahhh....where was this thread 2 years ago??? :(

Had to adjust just about every single item. Never, ever fit anything tight. Roof, side frames, tubs, wings bulkheads etc before checking everything lines up. We live and learn 🤔🙄

you can fit it loose but you'll need the tub/doors on to make sure it all lines up

You can, but from bitter experience, I wouldn't recommend it 😭

I had another look, it's totally my fault. They do with or without mesh. I thought that meant the actual mesh screen. What it actually means is recessed for mesh, or not recessed for mesh. Looks like if I cut of the tabs I can custom fit it 🤔🙄

Bugger. I think I see what I did wrong. I obviously forgot to choose the mesh version 🤯 So, can I just fit it flat?

The front wing is a nut and bolt job to change but the rear TUB [as it is called] arch side is a fair old job.

Have you looked to see how easy (it wont be) to replace those. Reach in give it a bang and pop out some of the dent if you can/want, but most of us live with the odd dent here & there. At the end of the day its the least of our worries :oops: :D. J

Posting for future reference in case ever needed! Finally found the correct grub screw size: 10/32 x 1/4

Afternoon campers. Today I decided to refit the upper dash on my S3, just to make sure everything lines up before recovering with new vinyl. First job, fit the fly mesh to the bulkhead. Only it doesn't fit 🤯 This is how it looked in the old...

As a sort of update I emailed the Glass Chairman who via the local rep, has passed the video and as much info as possible to the relevant authorities. What comes of it, if anything, I do not know.

I spent a lot of time and got virtually nothing out of it. - Installed and new EGT gauge. . . . the gauge does not work. It has power and ground, but does nothing - Put my column cowling on and cleaned it all up. . . . now my headlights won't...

We have a car too yeah. Landy is going to be more for our adventures / camping trips, we want to make draws in the back and a dog bed above. Roof rack. Awning. Going to paint the doors to match the body. Get a spare wheel carrier put on. Just...

And I'm guessing the uninflated half is the bottom half? I'm that good that I can tell without even seeing it.

Keep the faith, half of the tyre is still inflated 🤪👍

Yes, welcome to the delight that is Defender 90 ownership ... :vb-drinky:

We will 100% be doing this, great idea! And shouldn't have a problem opening it with the latch through the grill now. We were trying the wrong latch 🤦‍♀️as didn't know how the release cable worked until the video above, didn't realise that it...
