landrover598 Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'm after ideas for some lashing points in the rear tub of my defender lets see what you've got and are they any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I use a recessed track system with removeable sliding rings. They leave a completely flat floor when the track in let into a routed groove. The rings can be moved anywahere up and down the track on each side. You can just see the track here with all rings removed: Here's the track before the rubber matting was glued down: Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I use cargo rail.You can see them each end of the locker.I have three across the back of my 110 SW.One at the rear as you see in the bottom picture.The middle on as you see in the bottom picture again. Then one at the front just in front of the storage box,You can see the small shackle on the left with the strap. My rail came from www.pro-x-equip.com. I bought it at a show. Nobody that sells it seems prepared to send it to you. Not cheap though.Then you need the clips to hold the straps. So far it's secured everything I've need it for. I eat rat poison,they increased my dosage yesterday. mike I can cause trouble in an empty house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I like those ideas any other ideas before i start spending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 These are mine: LR part no. EOZ100000, they're about £2.50 each, maybe plus VAT? Exeter 4x4 store will get them in for you, but I think they're the same price from a dealer? Got the idea from Expedition Exchange. I've now got another 6 at floor level in line with the ones in the photos, which gives me enough things to bungee or tie stuff down to. Would like some in the middle really, but the completely flat floor is useful, and I'm not quite ready to cut big holes in it to put recessed ones in (something like on this page). Plan eventually is to have two recessed ones placed just over the width of the waffles so they can be held down securely and quickly. Hope that helps, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landrover598 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I like those eyes B) They would lie flat and yet be big enough to get a rope / bungy/ ratchet through. Do they rattle about though ? Two ideas so far eyes rails any others ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I like those eyes B) They would lie flat and yet be big enough to get a rope / bungy/ ratchet through. Do they rattle about though ? These ones? They lie fairly flat, only about 5-10mm high at most, and they don't rattle at all - the plastic bits in the loop stop them moving around. They're a part from the rear of the Disco 2, so have to be quiet! Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 I think 10 of those will do the job nicely, should be cheaper than the rail stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiagoc Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I think 10 of those will do the job nicely, should be cheaper than the rail stuff I bought 8 of those (was looking for 10, but only 8 were available), used but in good condition, for 1,5eur each. a bargain!! haven't installed them yet...

Exmoor Beast Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 mine are like Darth Dickys, only mine are buried under 3 mountain bikes, 3 tool boxes, several oil containers, miscellaneous bits of wood, two plastic boxes of painting stuff to finish the 110 with, a winch cable, several strops (including one thats actually a wet patterdale terrier but that will be coming in the house when its dry), they work very well with either ratchet tie downs or bungy cords for light stuff. I believe vauxhaul vans are a useful source of them Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M005 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I believe vauxhaul vans are a useful source of them Will Mine look much the same and fell out of an 05 plate Nissan Primera I had borrowed from my old work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Defenders less than about 4 years old (I think it came in for 02MY) have the lashing eyes in the back which are exactly the same as in a Discovery 2, as in DD's photo. I don't often use them but when I do they are excellent and when I don't, they are tight so no rattles at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks for the info, I'll pick up a few tomorow from BM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 ok, a bit late but it may interest other people, these are the MIL one's in position on mine: two at the front on the bulkhead: With them also down the sides of the seat/wheel box bottoms, and on the top at the back: Think for the sides there was holes for six for each side (three top of box, three on bottom on sides), meaning a total of 14 lashing points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattD110td5x Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 even later on this discussion, I can't take a photo at the moment but I use these rock climbing "bolt hangers" you can even get them in different colours! or Petzl anchors You can get either removable ones that slip over a bolt head or ones just bolt down. At least I know how strong they are (the SWL is usually stamped on them). easily available at your local climbing/outdoor shop. regards Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) What land rover part are they, and what LR are they from? I knew that was gonna be asked, I'll dig out a number, can be used on any LR, IIRC their military parts but any LR dealer/independent supplier should be able to get them. Right found the numbers RRC3588 & RRC3674 plus nyloc nuts IIRC the loop is RRC3588 & the backing plates RRC3674 the older type that minivin has are LR part number 395104 hope that helps Edited February 12, 2006 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
