Just a thought, how good is the battery?

I fitted mine dry. Both surfaces cleaned thoroughly. Do not over tighten. That's when leaks occur.

Your so far in, just get a nice new galvanized bulkhead. It's the correct decision in the log run👍

Sodbury?

At the risk of sounding incredibly dumb, if I bought a 2 piece frame, could it be butchered to make a one piece? Or am I just taking this "as original as possible" too far?

Hi everyone! I've come to a dead end sourcing new 2nd row safari one piece doors for Noel. Sp said no Paint man said no. So, it's either 2 piece, which I'll do IF you think the following are beyond economical repair. I know the bottom/side frame sections are available from YRM (and others) but...

Thread 'Rear wheel arch repair panel' https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/rear-wheel-arch-repair-panel.376874/ Anything here?

Morning all. Just a quick one. The time has come to purchase a new set of doors for Noel, my 109 station wagon. Have found where to get the two piece front doors, but am struggling to find the one piece second row doors. The only supplier I found (below) is no longer stocking them 😕 Any...

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.

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