Graeme. i am also considering useing Maer for my chassis swap, with regards to deliveries, i'm not sure if such a large lorry would fit down my road. How did you find the delivery went .

hi i am looking to fit a Brownchurch roof rack to my 90 defender and a second hand 110 version has come up near me which is quite handy as i was looking to purchase an extended version for my 90 anyway and since Brownchurch has ceased trading this seems my only option to convert a 110...
