Haha, yeah, noticed that but generally thought that applied to structurals, not every ferrous based part on the dem thing. Spose it is a landy after all. Don't get me started on the bulkhead.... chassis, outriggers and cross members seem ok though which is a bonus.

tottot, will take your word, I not done this before. Got rock sliders fitted by previous owner so will have a butchers to see what needs removing. Cheers

Top advice Turboman. My instinct would have been to replace the rubber but reuse the metal. Cheers

Hey Turboman - thought you meant the rubber hoses. Why do you reckon replacing the metal pick up pipes? Arn't they just plain steel tubes? Do they rot inside? Cheers

I have very little to offer in return just yet, but I'm tinkering on little jobs with this cracking vehicle every day, and learning a bit each time, so hopefully one day I can give...

Cheers Litch, I'm not the practical kind, I expect there will be plenty more opportunities to make myself look like a bit of a Wally!

Well, I've just spoken to Optimal, they pointed out I need to remove the lock cylinder, fit the handle, then reinsert the cylinder. Might be a bit fiddly to refit the lock cylinder from the inside, but at least I didn't start hacking away at the door panel!

Hi folks, Has anyone fitted the aluminium door handles from Optimal? There is a 19mm brass nut on the back of the lock cylinder that is a fraction too big to fit through the oval cut out section of the door panel. The black gasket is the same profile as the cut out section, so demonstrates how...

Hi folks, just an intro post. Not used to social media platforms, so browsing around and finding my way around the site.
