    S P Landrovers galvanised doors

    I got a pair of these for mine Welcome - A. M. A. Services Was a bit worried about fit but they fit spot on and a lot better in my opinion. never rust wont dent or break easily and everything bolts straight in. But a bit pricier.

    Dan had it sand blasted after the chassis was modified and then straight to galving after drain holes were drilled to let the air out during galving. they do do a acid dip/clean and then into a stabilizer as part of the dipping process, but they wont take one in covered in paint rust and waxoil...

    These were threaded compression ends with a olive. more expensive than crimp on ends but with the benefit of having a roll of hose and making them custom length to suit the job without having to fork out on a crimper.
