andy2986 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi, Am rebuilding the rear of my Disco, wish I hadn't started to be honest. However does any one know where I can get the rear most boot floor piece that has the white plastic bobbins on that hold the rear boot trim/finisher ??? I can try and download a picture if it helps??

Stevie D Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Is that not part of the rear cross member -albeit probably without the little raised brackets and white plastic bits you refer to - probably need to salvage what you can off the old one.

JeffR Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Its the bit with the white plastic things on Im after ?? I've tried for bloody weeks to find that bit! Nobody seems to make it. I wa stold that it was a "failrly simple bit " of bent sheet!!!!! If you do locate someone who makes it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I just did the rear floor on one of mine and came across exactly the same problem as you... Rather than replacing the wheel arch cutout sections too, I just bought some profile steel sections and replaced the sill that the center floor hangs on. I bought 4 pieces of replacment section, the sides and top bit, with the final piece I hammered the "z" profile flattening it out, it then allowed me to fill in that gap. From what I could find no-one makes a purpose fit piece as when you look at the bit in full, its actually quite a funny shape extending into the outermost corners of the rear floor. Its not actually part of the rear crossmember as I've got a spare one of those here for reference - its kind of like an intermediate piece of steel.

andy2986 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks for your replies so far. It rather looks like I'm going to have to fabricate something up then. Was thinking of patching it but seems a bit of a bodge when I'm replacing just about everything else in the boot area. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 If thats a picture of your truck above, then it looks bloody good if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy2986 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks, but thats about the best bit !! The rear inner wings, rear arches and strangely the rear door lower pillars where the striker plate mounts were all rotten. along with the rear body mounts... I hold my hands up and admit I bought a lemon here !! but there you go. from the rear arches onwards its absolutely mint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Something I find rather disturbing but quite facinating is that disco 1 body's seem to rot in rather local and random places... there doesn;t seem to be a "common" failing point - other than "the whole body" Keep at it though, its a good feeling to be able to hit a pot hole at 50 and be comfortable you;re not going to leave part of your truck behind...

Wife reckons all I need are the kinky boots, whip and a years subscription to the local S&M club! Trouble is I'm beginning to think she may just have a valid point....

andy2986 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 FOUND ONE !!!!!! So if you buy your crossmember from YRM they sell it as part of their kit, but he has them for sale separately as well. You have to drill out the top hat sections but thats better than fabbing the whole piece http://www.yrmlandrover.com/epages/BT3575.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT3575/Products/029 Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igol Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've replaced my cross member in the summer (YRM kit) and gave up with the plastic tophats and went for allen bolts screwed into rivits in the U channel. Seems to work ok for me though did need to source some pretty long machine screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
