isbjorn Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hi. Got a defender 110 Td5 1999, 3 doors utility wagon. I would like to replace the body capping on the sides with galvanised ones. But I can't figure out the part no. I can just find RH rear body capping 110 SW ASR1391, ASR1390, But they are for the 5 door version. I only got 3 doors.... Not my car in the Pic. But same model. Any help is appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Talk to YRM metal solutions, they can supply galvanised cappings to fit https://yrmit.co.uk/product/land-rover-defender-110-hard-top-pick-up-hot-dipped-galvanised-cappings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isbjorn Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Ouch, that was a quite juicy price.... But thanks for the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 probably less than brand new genuine items if you can find factory galvanised cappings. not galv, but nearly the same price as the pair above for 1 side https://www.brit-car.co.uk/product.php/141136/0/body_capping_finisher_left_hand_110_defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Yours could be removed and sent for galvanising I would imagine the galvinisers would prep your cappings prior to coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil110 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Most galvanisers I have dealt with in the past have a system in place where they will do small jobs, below a certain weight, for a set price. The amount you can get done below the weight varies from company to company. I found one where I managed to get a full set of body callings from an early 110 (with 2piece doors) CSW, the front bumper, a pair of rear bumperettes, an A bar and some other , smaller, bits done for 75 pounds. This was a few years ago though. Typically they will not prepare them for you, so you need to remove any paint, I did it by chucking the bits on a garden fire. Rust is not a problem, the acid pickling dip will take care of that. When you get above the fixed price weight, they price jobs by weight. The item is weighed before being done, then weighed again. You pay for the additional weight of zinc added to the original weight of the items. Edited November 15, 2018 by neil110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
