So my next issue with installing my second hand 130 tub is the gap (about 5mm) between the Angle reinforcing bar-MTC4156 and the bracket MTC4002. Here is a photo...

Sorry guys, user error, for some reason it seems that my previous post was cut short...
So as I was saying I thought that it may take the plate, listed as item no. 17 - MTC6154 on LR Workshops as per the photo below... Click image to enlarge That is the right size, but it's listed as requiring 4 when I'm pretty sure I only need 2, unless someone knows otherwise. Any right direction pointers will be gratefully received. |

Anyone at all? There must be some 130 owners who know or can have a quick look under the back of their tub.

From this photo (lifted from AndrewS), it appears you've got the correct bracket arrangement.
Click image to enlarge I would suggest a shim or two is required, from this listing it appears that MTC6154 is a shim as opposed to a nut plate - https://www.ebay.ch/itm/384158591930?hash=...SwZHNgmo74 1985 127 V8 Build Thread Series 2 109" Series 1 80" |

That’s great confirmation Shroppy, thanks. I think is off to the local Metal Supermaket then. £30.20 is crazy money for a shim!

That under body picture reminds me of how shoddy the paintwork was on defenders

Yep, I’ve just finished spraying the underside of the tub with Raptor. Looks good
