Brilliant, thank you! Just ground all the sealant and paint off and I can see the spot welds now - had to go back a bit from the section I was looking at because all that metal has gone. Time to start drilling! I was hoping not to have to do...

Excuse any rough work. 7 years ago and cutting my teeth on my first attempt of a resto!

Hi max, I can’t actually remember the exact details but when I look at it it will jog my memory. I’m pretty sure dippy is right and where you have your black circle there’s spot welds. In the corner itself, there’s an actual box structure made up...

May be @resto_d1 could help. He has a few threads/builds on a disco. Have a search. I know he’s done the rear of the body,not sure on alpine light area

If I remember rightly, it's spot welds and sealant, but that was over 20 years ago ...

Looking for some more help with Discovery metalworking. I'm replacing my rear crossmember, and I've uncovered a few holes I want to/have to patch up before I can get to the main event. First up is the section above the rear window, below the...

Thank you, that might come in handy when I get to making up repair bits!

Yeah pretty disheartening when I took the trim off and it was full of metal; better to do it than to let it get worse though! Looks like it's coming together well, there's a lot of work there. I'm just trying to plan out where to start, every...

Perfect thank you so much! I really appreciate the help That's a great idea - I didn't think of a crane because I didn't think there would be anywhere to lift from, but I see now that the seatbelt mounting points could have worked. It looks like...

Appreciate it, thank you! I don't know if I'll be able to get over that way any time soon, but if you have a measurement for the gap between the bottom of the door and the ribbed plastic bit when the door is closed, that would be a great starting...

Hi All, I'm trying to get the rear of my Disco 300tdi straightened up and I want to make sure I'm getting it back to the correct spec when it all goes back together. The rear cross member has always been a bit 'spongy' and I was aware of the...

Looks simple enough, thank you for all the help!

That would be great thank you - on one side I do have a rubber pad that's hanging out on a bit of silicone; assuming that's part of it, I'd like to put it back in the right place!

No it’s not a body mount…. @resto_d1 may know the part and what it’s called

It’s a rubber pad for your boot floor I think but if you zoom out I can tell 👍🏻 Body mounts are 2x in engine bay, 2 x front sill, 2 rear sill, 2 rear crossmember

Oh and 2 on light boxes!

Thank you both very much! I've been trying to find a 'map' of the body mounts to cross-reference but your list is just as useful. Wouldn't want to be driving around with a missing body mount!

I’m looking to confirm what this part is on a discovery 1. This is just a photo from the web but on my truck I can see there are two holes lined up but no bolt going through them or anything. Am I right in thinking this is a body mount? Should it...
