landroversforever Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 So you've actually got the Td5 seatbelt anchors, and need the bracket Scotts90 has shown on the Td5 tub. Where/what do they attach to to get to the chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan D90 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yes, I have the TD5 seatbelt anchors, the ones with two bolts. Are far as I can tell they are very similar to the ones you illustrated for the 300tdi, just a bit longer. I have penned how I think they will sit in yellow below, I think I may still have some issues with everything lining up but I will have to cross that bridge when they arrive: thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 They pick up on the same ridge on the tub, and so mount to the tub and chassis bracket the same but are longer to put the belt mounts further forward as described above. I believe the chassis bracket (outlined in red above) is the same on both versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I am hoping, it looks like there is also only one hole in the brackets (yellow), which connect to the silver bracket bolted to the chassis.

Where/what do they attach to to get to the chassis? They don't. The brackets bolt up to the same member on the tub that the outriggers attach to. I assume they worked out it was strong enough for the loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yes only one of the holes on each bracket lines up with the silver one from the chassis crossmember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found the brackets in Paime’s photo on ebay for £20, I will give them a shot and report back. How're you getting on with this? Did the brackets go on without too much fuss?

Dan D90 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 The brackets have arrived and are in good nic, the next problem is that the holes do not line up to bolt through to the support which connects to chassis, you can see how far out they are below: They are miles out!,I think I will need to create some form of bracket to bridge the gap! Its the same on both sides, its like the tub is 15mm offset to the left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The td5 anchors don't use those brackets that sit on the chassis member, the ones you bought bolt through the tub. So, you'll have the two holes lined up looking down through the seatbox and this should then tie into the tub. If it's a td5 seatbox and an earlier tub then you'll have to drill holes in the tub.

landroversforever Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I'm surprised LR did away with the ties to the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? If the tub was in the right place then they would fit perfectly. I think they will be OK without them but I would be interested to know if they were ditched for the TD5.

Dan D90 Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 Used my lunch break to fit the brackets today, Im happy to say that after slacking off the chassis brackets I was able to line them up good enough to get a bolt through. Imnot sure if they are needed or not but it can not hear to have them connected. All rubbered up also 🙄 Now just waiting for the reel brackets to arrive....

Scotts90 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yes I'm sure, my tub brackets are still bolted in place, never removed anything to lift the tub off...I did go out and check to make sure I hadn't taken one bolt out but both rusty originals still tightly in place. My original td5 chassis didn't have the earlier angle chassis to body mounts fitted either. If you look at the pics Paime posted up there are no brackets from tub to chassis either.
