uninformed Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hey all, as I SLOWLY move closer to building my custom rear tub on my 110, im looking for places to buy tub parts. Ive started with an old 109 tub (IIA i think, definitely not SIII) and my 110 rear bulkhead (ex Cab chassis). All I'm keeping so far from the 109 tub is the side panels, and the underfloor support struts. The floor and the floor stiffeners along with the wheel wells will be made locally, but id like some factory parts like rear protecting strip/floor support to mounting angle, possibly the mounting angle, rear end panels, corner brackets with cotter and tread plate (tub floor rubbing strips) Ive looked at YRM Metal Solutions, Paint Man and Bits4Landys. Unfortunately none of them have all the bits I want and makes multiple shippings to Australia expensive. Any other recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 On the topic of rear tub parts, does anyone have this part fixed to the rear tub: https://yrmit.co.uk/product/hot-dipped-galvanised-rear-door-thresh-for-drop-down-tailgate-series-2-3/ My 109 tub did not (it was either a hard top or truck cab tub). Were they factory fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Ok another question hopefully someone can help with… 88” vs 109” rear tubs. Both 2 door versions. My 109” tub had a small angle fixed to the bottom of the floor and on top of the rear mounting angle. I just saw pics of a 88” tub repair that shows the floor directly to the rear mounting angle. Are both correct? If so, That would mean that there is either variations in the chassis load bearing points to rear mounting tabs or the heights of the underfloor stiffeners and struts?

uninformed Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 I would have thought this an easy one for the rivet counters… It seems that the 88” tubs have the floor fixed directly to the rear mounting angle and the 109” tubs have the z angle transition between floor and rear mounting angle. The z angle is not shown in the parts manual and no part number will exist for it as it is part of the floor (spot welded just like the top hat stiffeners) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
