Paddy_SP Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm in the process of building up my Defender from a bare chassis, and I can't remember what is meant to mount on the vertical bracket that sits behind the left side of the rad (200Tdi Defender 110), as per the arrow in this diagram: I'd therefore be most grateful if someone were kind enough to let me know!

western Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) nothing on that bracket on my 110. Edited April 11, 2017 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Many thanks for taking the time to reply, but I don't think that's correct - a) because I've already fitted the slam panel supports (they're quite a bit further forward), and b) because there isn't a corresponding mount on the other side!

Retroanaconda Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 On mine it wasn't attached to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ah - that's what I wanted to hear! It's in the way of the full-width rad that I want to install, so it would be really handy if it was surplus to requirements... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my original incorrect reply I went out to my 110, nothing in that bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Thank you to you both - your efforts are much appreciated - off to get the hacksaw now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Well, as it's a brand new galvanised chassis, I decided it'd be better to hammer it flat so as not to expose any virgin steel. Anyway - I'm pleased to say that my rad now goes in - all I've got to do now is a) figure out how to avoid it clashing with the intercooler pipes, and b) work out a mounting system for it!

sgnas Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) The legs of the 2.5td air filter can mounts on 3 tabs. Your arrow points to the fore one. another by the spring mount and the last on the outside of the chassis rail.
