  1. I'm getting mine galvanised also. A friend of mine is making one good bulkhead out of two. My 1983 one, and a more donor. He told me the inner frame on the 1983 was looking much better than the later one. His explanation for this was that the later one uses more closed sections instead of open for the earlier one. So if water gets inside it's pretty hard to get it out.

    A tip I've got from someone else was to brace the bulkhead on the chassis mounting points, so galvanising doesn't have any effect on this distance. He already got 4 bulkheads galvanised, and no major damage due to galvanising. To be on the safe side I'll bring mine to the same company as he did...

  2. For a Defender 90 - with the lift up handles. Anyone know of anywhere that isn't asking daft money? Alternatively anyone made their own custom jobs?

    Looking for one on the driver side also. Closed the door without noticing the seat belt on dads Ninety... Now have a nasty hole in it =(

  3. Thanks guys!

    Is the Dutch designed competition bumper the only one with the drum completely out in the open? Looks like a nice feature to get dirt easily out in serious off-roading.

    overseas shipping wouldn't be a problem to him.

    A friend of mine near Hull will receive all of my UK ordered parts and I'll pick all up myself after all has arrived :) So will handle the overseas part of shipping myself ;)

  4. Did a search on the forum, but couldn't find more options than I already have listed. My dad has bought an '84 Ninety, and would like to fit the 8274 he still has laying around for it. What bumper would you recommend, and why?

    This one we like the most, it's just a bit pricy with a price tag just over a thousand pounds....

    Looks great though, and proven in challenges all over Europe allready.

    Last week we bought the car like this:

    And currently it's looking like this:

    This weekend it will be lifted using an Equipe Extreme kit, and Maxidrive in rear axle with discs will be added. Now just the bumper and sliders left to choose.

  5. I'll be going to Sodbury on the 18th, but a friend of mine asked me to pick up and drive back a Range Rover in Brighton he's bought. Who's travelling from Brighton to Beaulieu, and hasn't planned to use the passenger seat for bought parts? ;) It will be just me and a backpack, my bought parts will be travelling with someone else.

  6. Stay with the sliding ones, if you have the aluminium tops on it :) My second choice is windup/lifting handle. Pushbutton third choice, got them frozen in a very cold challenge weekend in the Belgian Ardennes a couple of years ago. Non-LandRover owners had a laugh when we were breathing out on the pushbuttons and trying with a lighter to open them in the morning.... ;)

    A bit of grease might would have fixed the problem, but afterwards we were to late for doing that ;)

  7. Have a look at your brakes also. If your Salisbury axle is a 1984 one, it has drum brakes on it. You can get them with disc brakes also, don't know what engine you are running and if you have regular off road use planned. Cleaning a disc brake axle is easier after off roading.f

  8. you could write to the Heritage centre @ Gaydon for production info.

    use the contact info here :D

    Or ask mr. Pagan at Land Rover. Both are here in Holland accepted as a prove your car is made earlier. So after showing the authorities the HMC/Pagan information they'll change the data on the Dutch paperwork.

    I wanted to do this with mine also, but only two weeks left for it to turn 25 years old now so it's a bit late for me to do it now ;)

  9. In a Disco I just bought for parts it was behind the rear seats, not covered. Don't think you should cover it up too much because of cooling? But leaving it out in the open on a pickup wouldn't be my choice also.

    In m'n Defender I'll be mounting it below the passenger seat, next to my Webasto heater.
