A couple of bits I can’t remember…

Morning all.
Couple of problem areas in my restoration that I didn’t take photos of.

Can someone tell me where the front wing stays on a 110 pickup bolt to on the chassis? The ones just forward of the rear wheel, at the front of the tub.

Second, there’s a metal P-clip on the transmission brake cable and I can’t work out where to bolt it to.

Many many thanks if anyone can share the answers to these.
Cheers all. Jim.

Do you mean the rear wing stay?

I’ve got two stays on each side. I suppose they are both on the rear wing, yes
The rear-most ones are fitted ok, as I found the hole in the tub but the front ones (located just in front of the rear arch) I have no idea if where they bolt to. There just doesn’t seem to be a bolt in reach.
I’m pretty sure they’re in the correct place on the sill as I have a photo of them still on the tub.

You can also see that they’re the opposite way up from the ones at the back which is odd.
Blooming things.

Is there a bracket on the chassis that they bolt to?

Not that I can identify. It’s a mystery (as Toyah would say).

What chassis, 200, 300 etc.?.....

Mine is Td5 hardtop. The stays are fitted to the rear hole of the marked bracket on the chassis.....

It’s a very early 1986 110 David. So pre defender.
It’s got the 12J in it.
The diagram is really useful. I’ll see if I have those brackets. Many thanks sir.

….mythtery surely

This is my 1996 Defender 90 bolts to the chassis

Evening mate. My wing supports are a different shape to yours, presumably linked to the difference between the 90 and 110. Anyway, I was thinking after looking at your picture, if the two in question are loose, they must have been bolted to the chassis. The other two are still bolted to the floor. If the two in question were originally bolted to the floor, why are they loose? There's nothing else for them to fix to, other than the chassis.
