[Cargo track/Partition track- 2 x 3M £41.75 with vat and postage!]

I'm fitting false storage area between the wheelboxes in The 109 which we're converting to a weekend camper - when I get its brakes and gearbox sorted out! One 'issue' that has come about is that the wife is demanding a ladder - not for her but for the dog. Ours is German Shepard, pure bred, and if you know anything about them it's that they suffer with hip displace-sure, and the wife is concerned about the continual jumping up and down in the standard 88 and what effect it might have on her hips. Just a thought.

Hi EJ! This is what you need!

And as Gordon says, stick it under your drawer/storage area!

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!)

Quite happy that a bungee fits no prob...

Make it fit!

Much more secure now its been shortened!

Yes, the latter is the sort of thing I'm after. Like this:

Just I'm a tight northerner and don't wish to spend that much!

That's the one that fits behind the rear wheel isn't it?

TBH, that's not a bad price for stainless!

[Cargo track/Partition track- 2 x 3M £41.75 with vat and postage!]

Yes those are the claw hooks Ive looked at.

There are some light use ratchet straps Ive seen around with those very ends already stitched on that are on my wanted list.

Gordon

Hi Gordon, are these the ones?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180990064712?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I will need to shorten the ends for a better grip....

[Cargo track/Partition track- 2 x 3M £41.75 with vat and postage!]

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...

Or is it one of these you are thinking of?

I'm trying to convince myself that I don't want one but I'm not having much luck lol!

[Cargo track/Partition track- 2 x 3M £41.75 with vat and postage!]

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!

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

Frame seal

Door seal, both seals mate up!

Hinge

Stay (there is a catch to release it when it locks in place)

Cheers for that Western and yes, I should check the Tech archive before I post lol!

MM, its was ordered from a company who will do you a made to measure door (or window) complete.
I just filled in a drop down with my 2 dimensions, and ten days later..there it was in my porch!

Take one of these...

Do this

Weasel, can you post some pics of your doors fitted on your 110 ?

Mo

Hi Mo, here's a photo for you...

If you need anymore specific ones, let me know!

[Do people run their defenders without a spare wheel?]

I inherited a Jackall, my Dad got it from an auction for £5 about 20 years ago, it's like new. I do need a LR adaptor though, I don't like the idea of it slipping.

I'm carrying around my trolley jack too in case I get a flat (touch wood I don't).

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! (thumbs up icon)

[Do people run their defenders without a spare wheel?]

It is personal choice of course, but I'd go either for a genuine Jackall or a Hi Lift. I had a bad experience with another make!

Agree Steve, with critical components like that!....

[Spare wheel]

Used a Series wheel well (think it was £46 at the time, galvanised too!)

[Do people run their defenders without a spare wheel?]

Reminds me...must get one of these soon!
