greenstream Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hi When making a 100" Defender and one wants to have the same behind the rear axle as on a 90" What kind of solutions do you use for closing the fuelfillerarea ? Cheers Morten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_teunico Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Search in youtube for "a 4x4 is born". It covers the build of a 100" hybrid and one of the chapters is about building the bespoke rear tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I saw one and talking to the owner he said happily that he cut a patch to fit in the hole and used one of those alloy weldy/soldery/brazen hussy rods that you can get and welded/soldered/brazen hussied it into the panel, smear o bondo and you would never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I used the existing filler rivet holes to fix a piece of ali in place, step the edges the thickness of the wing skin so that the plate sits flush, and fill over the join, you can hardly see it.

landrover598 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I used rivets, as I had to fill in the existing filler rivet holes anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
