Phil Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Second question for today: I want to tidy up the top of the bulkhead on my 110. The vent flap hinge pins and the hinge tabs are rusty. I can rub down and repaint the tabs but I'm not sure if the same approach is right for the pins. I wonder, is it possible to replace them with stainless steel pins and, if so, where could I get them? Thanks, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul stage1v8 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 The tombraider 110 had a tidy solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eightpot Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Standard pins are nicely finished and are only pence each through a parts supplier - think I got mine from mm4x4, paddocks etc probably do them for not much as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Early vents had the pins, TD5 vents had the nice nut and bolt solution. Much nicer in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sorry, made an @rse of explaining this, mine's a Td5 and has the nut & bolt type 'pins'; where can I get those shiny ones from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 doubt they'll stay shiney for long, just the airflow will dull the finish after a few 1000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ralph, I don't mind that, so long as they don't go rusty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul stage1v8 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 the dome nuts would probably be available in stainless from a bolt supplier or marine store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks, Paul, unfortunately I live too far from the sea to find a chandler Can anyone check these part numbers for me? AIO710010 for the hinge bolt AYH100810 for the dome nut My local LR dealership couldn't help!!! Thanks again, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM_110 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm in the process of refurbing a bulkhead [in the dining room] and extensive high level scientific testing [magnet] reveals 100% ally vent flap and a 5mm ferrous hinge pin. Typical LR mix 'n' match. Anyway try Seascrew for some 4-5mm studding and 4/5mm dome bolts in A2 or A4 stainless. I get all my stainless stuff from them. Both your part numbers are correct for Defenders from WAxxxxxx btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
