Ben Spray Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi All in the nearish future I'll be fitting 88" side panels to my 110SW to create a utility type look, thats all fine everything has been covered before, however what I cant seem to find is what doing this means to the interior trim and 2nd row seatbelts? ie what parts I need to be able to fit the second row seatbelts back on (parts off the 110 sides? or series type seatbelt mounts?) and also can I then refit the 110s original side trim panels in the back albeit with a bit of trimming to go around the horizontal reinforcements in the 88" sides? and obviously then just board/carpet in the recess where the window would have been. Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 keep the existing upper brackets & refit to the 'new' panels, the upper trim can be blanked out by inserting a sheet of hardboard suitable covered with your choice of material. & screwed or clipped to the existing side window trim panels.

Ben Spray Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cool thanks Ralph, so its possible to end up with it looking the same internally just without the window by the sounds of it? Are the seat belt brackets a bolt on item then on a Defender like they were on the series vehicles? (was having trouble working it out from parts diagrams etc) Thanks Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Seat belt brackets are probably rivet in. The top welded nut will be there on the series piece I think but you may have to add the lower reel mounting. As for the trims, just do as Land Rover do on the modern USWs. Trim the surrounds where the strenghtening ribs are, which as you say are horizontal on a Series piece. I copied this look in my 90 and it gives a nice tidy look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
