WarPig Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Before my 1996 110 300tdi gets a full respray, I need to sort out the rust on the edge of the rear floor. Is this a replaceable part or does the rusted area need cutting out and a new piece putting in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdulas Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm pretty sure from the pic that it one piece from the front bulkhead outrigger, under both doors and up the side. I'll see if I can find the part no. and get back to you Rick page 795, item 1 LH & RH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 that's part of the bodyside frame which also has the door 'B' post as part of it, as in the photo below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickdulas Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Thats the baby, I will probably need to replace mine soon, was I right in thinking that I'd seen them on Paddocks website. Any other suppliers? Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 LR for a genuine item, don't know if Craddocks or Paddocks can supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarPig Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Many thanks for the replies. Seems lika a big job to replace it. Ive recently had the body of my 110 lifted off during a chassis swap. Shame I didnt think about this sooner. So is it a major job to replace it?

Retroanaconda Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Not had a good enough look under mine to be 100% certain, but you may be able to remove both doors, unbolt the frame from the roof and chassis, and lift away from under the vehicle. You can do it with a 90 sill (which is just the front bit of those ones basically). If I were to buy new ones or repair old, I'd be looking at galvanising them!

SiWhite Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Should be able to remove easily. Both doors off, roof bolts undone, then drill rivets from the side of the tub and undo two bolts next to the second row door diagonal bit. Then two bolts by the bulkhead and they will wiggle free.

WarPig Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Might see if I can get the rust cut out and a new piece welded in, and save a few £££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony110 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 In my experience they rust badly where it is hard to see, on the part where it goes up near the rear seat. So it is probably advisable to take them off altogether and galvanised once repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Id love to remove, repair and galv them but if I encounter problems then I will be stuck. My 110 is my main (and only) vehicle which I need for work each day, so unfortunately I dont have time on my side. I guess the roof would need to come off, and I dont really have the space to store a partially dismantled 110 in a secure manner. Might have to get the spray shop to do a repair when the time comes.

western Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 roof doesn't need to come off, but headliner will need to be removed to access B post top bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault4 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 wow wow and thrice, wow. I'v got this on my 110 csw and THINK it's a rivit on seal there I'v said it, I might be wrong but I might be right (hope I am ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony110 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 wow wow and thrice, wow. I'v got this on my 110 csw and THINK it's a rivit on seal there I'v said it, I might be wrong but I might be right Its in one piece as can be seen in the previous picture. However it does rivit on to part of the rear body. Might be best to buy a seconhand one, get it in a good state, and then swap over in one day.

western Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 on pre 300tdi vehicles the bottom door seal was rivetted to the bodyside frame, on later vehicles it's on the bottom edge of the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
