Started fitting the diesel heater.. ended up in A&E for a couple of hours. Should have just put a thicker coat on
let's say I'm not in good books ...
. Then about 6 of the 8 or so floor screws gave up and the rest were drilled out. A quarter of the Defender is now missing. Good news being the floor and bottom bulkhead is solid - I’ll add pictures later.

few days ago I bought a 'Slickshift' (quickshift) for the Ninety, not cheap so I hope it's worthwhile & makes driving easier for my mrs
will fit it shortly & report back
Rich.
Never seen a captive bolt there before.The bulkhead to outrigger bolt has a captive nut, WTF - it would’ve been stubborn with a nut and bolt

she requested it

the expensive kit
longer pivot-distance on new shifter.
the 'spacer' fitted, I used Locktite 'Flange Sealer' to stop leaks.
assembled.

Maybe you put the m10 nyloc nut/washer somewhere safe??
not one in the box
luckily I have a well stocked workshop so easily rectified...
Rich.
Don’t forget to replace the hi-low knob
