Hi Gordon! Thanks for the link, I've saved it! Isn't that strange?..my priority is my dogs safety too! On my last trip to Scotland I had her in her crate strapped to the back of the bulkhead.so I could ask her for directions etc... But letting her out was a bit awkward over plastic boxes etc, so Have decided to put a drawer under the 6' x 4' bed base and stow a lot of cooking gear in the side locker and other stuff down the right hand side! Have just fitted a rail below where your window would be and its a bit awkward... Couldn't see a way of screwing track to the lip on the tub so had to screw it to the lip on the bottom of the side panel...(bottom row of holes in the track) Will put up some pics (excuse the mess lol!)

Hi EJ, The sliding studs are a great idea! I have a Laycorn chest which I would like to secure to the side on occasions and, if you use straps you cant open the lid but, I have two short lengths of alloy C/T channel which I am going to secure to the 2 vertical side 'stiffeners' in the 110....it will take 8mm hole zebedee nuts that you see in industrial cable tray instalations, and bolt some van tie down rings to the track... Have also got some of these hooks to try in the partition track for cam lock straps too...

Bluehaze, they probably have got all the sizes you don't want! You would be better making one yourself I think or you could try these... http://www.whb.org.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=track&PN=Partition_Fittings%2ehtml#a899 http://www.whb.org.uk/acatalog/JBX_Skirt_Lockers.html Or is it one of these you are thinking of? http://www.expedition-equipment.com/products/vehicle-accessories/270-side-locker-large I'm trying to convince myself that I don't want one but I'm not having much luck lol!

Hi Gordon...I've been looking at the various types for months now (my latest 'crusade') and settled on these..... The aircraft type of track looks the stronger option but can only really be used with fittings designed for the track and that escalates the cost IMO EJ.. I wanted something you could use elasticated hooks with for the light stuff and ratchet tie downs for the heavy stuff. I would have gone with alloy 'T' section which is even cheaper per mtr but there was a 2-4 week wait for it (Valueframe.co.uk) Am going to put 2 1300mm lengths on one side of the 110, with a few more bits elsewhere..... "make it fit" is one of my gospels too! Gary

Now that the 'coding issue' has been resolved, this is what I was trying to post last night! Hi Rusty, Have just finished work so its a bit dull to take pics, will get on it tomorrow.... You have to sort your own stays, I went for a simple mechanical one (a door of this size doesn't need 2!) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310116865217?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 If you want to fit gas struts, they suggest getting an MDF insert put inside the door when you order it, an extra tenner I think? When clamping the frame to the side panel, I should have drilled out the pop rivets holding the door to the frame, and removed the door as you cant clamp the top bit of the frame with the door in place! I will include a pic of the stay which, by chance is a perfect length I think.... Cheers Gary Pics Frame seal Door seal, both seals mate up! Hinge Stay (there is a catch to release it when it locks in place)

Will this work on the same principle in my '89 110? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AMR2341-Land-Rover-Defender-90-110-130-Wiper-Intermittent-Delay-Relay-93-10-/290914314254?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43bbd8280e -

Do people run their defenders without a spare wheel?
weasel_110 replied to doublem1's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
To be honest I am thinking of selling mine...Its kept in a locker which is an extension of the right hand wheel arch...Iv'e never had to use it apart from in the garage doing a ball joint. and the Landy rolled forward when I tightened the joint and the Hi Lift fell forward, I had my legs under the bumper luckily, I had just put the wheel back on before tightening the ball joint! A lesson learned at least A decent trolley jack would take up half the space! By decent I mean something with a bit more lift height than the 2 Ton one Iv'e got now.... Good thinking Big Mike!
