Thanks for the welcome Hippo

Hi Phil. If you look a the front of the tub from the outside, it just looks like Land Rover cut a rectangular hole on the front bulkhead and then pop-riveted a patch on the inside.

Hi folks, here's a question for you all then. Does anyone know the purpose of the 6" rectangular holes covered over with a pop riveted plate, on the front of a 130 HCPU tub? It's interesting as they aren't present on a 110 HCPU tub. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi folks, this is my first post and as I’ve also just bought my first ever Land Rover - a Defender 130, I thought that I would introduce myself and say hello I am currently driving a VW T5 which I have converted to a camper. It was a bit of a labour of love, but I finished it about 18 months...
