ashleyb Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hi all after 30 yrs without a Landrover,that was when I sold my series 1(wish I had kept it),I am looking to buy an ex mod 110 (the 90,s in 12 volt seem to be a bit thin on the ground) for my gardening business,I need a hardtop with side windows and have seen the ex RAF ones-standard hardtop,300 tdi,power steering at one of the well known dealers,these are quite a bit more than the Tithonus refurb 110 which have the fibreglass hardtop/integral rollcage ,,has any one had experience of either vehicles and has anyone fitted side windows in the fibreglass sides as i am concerned when the frames are riveted in the fibreglass may crack,any advice gratefully received.Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Fiberglass is no problem cut out the hole with a jigsaw aluminium blade works well. Drill the holes to correct size and lightly countersink the smooth side. Apply sealant fit and rivet up. I've no experience with said roofs but I am a boat builder.

Snagger Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 As long as you use washers behind the panel for the rivets to pull on and drill the grp 1/4mm to 1/2mm oversize, the GRP will not be under any stresses that would cause cracking. It's only if you onit the washers and the rivet expands against the GRP directly that you could get problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
