ZSD-Puma, I thought about that but my metal working really wouldn't stand up to much! Sad but I thought about gullwing doors if I had to get Station wagon panels.




but they cost a fortune! So maybe not!! Neutral


I think any decent metal fabricator could make either for a modest sum. Wink

Wow I loose internet a a couple and a few extra comments, cheers all.

Thanks Boyd, I emailed Matt at Latitude and he was straight back to me. He hasn't got any of the part I need but can supply the lockers if I want. As Blackwolf, said the square are 450 pair and from FB I think the round ones will be about 350-380 each.

Grenadier... Holey**** thats is eye watering! I just had a boiler and work quote less than that! I doubt I'd sell that one to the wife!!

PJ2106, I've see that one before! LRO? It's a possible if they are still available, I'll have to see what the rest o the bits cost. He doesn't want to sell his roof and door too? Rolling with laughter

I think that was everyone! Thumbs Up I've emailed a few places to see if I can find the bits and how much

Cheers 2006 Defender Double Cab- Zambezi Silver

Aha, that's good to know. The square are good value, but the rounded ones look nicer. I will keep an eye on their website.

You CAN live without heating and HW, you CANNOT live without a hard top for your DCPU. Don't forget that and certainly don't be swayed by SWMBO making you think otherwise, it's fallacy Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

hahaha! I am wondering how much of the copper work and pipe chasing I can do my self to drop the cost, but most of it is the conversion from vented to unvented Big Cry

Being a tight northerner, it only comes on in December if she's luck and of by January Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

PJ2106- I will drop him a message as I'm away offshore and have no signal at present. Thanks 2006 Defender Double Cab- Zambezi Silver

Thanks StickyYates, I'm home mid ish April so I may give you a call to see what issues you faced and for any tips.

I've been offered a S3 roof, now I've not seen it, so no idea of condition or if I like the look yet. But I've no idea if it would actually fit or if it's a different length etc. Does anybody know?

Thanks 2006 Defender Double Cab- Zambezi Silver
