My Machining thread
This is my own attempt at making these defenders "posh"....

Every now and then I get he opportunity to squeeze some components out for my beloved black shed on wheels.

I don't often get the chance to work with Ali so I try to make the most of it. Rolling with laughter

So far I've only done a few Parts:
- Vent flap

-Fuse panel cover bolts

I Will be updating this as I go along. Luke Marsden

Stunning work. You could be earning from these skills, and Defenders.

Excellent machining.
Perhaps a fine sand blast in the inside of the door release bezel to get rid of the end mill marks? 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

A good idea, I still have to machine one for the passenger side so i'll probably give them both a polish then. Thumbs Up Luke Marsden

Cheers Procta. Thumbs Up

I have considered about making a page to sell them on but I can't really find the time to make more than a handful, and thats for the more basic kit. Big Cry Luke Marsden

Not sure if this is so much 'posh' stuff for the Defender. More like good quality durable utilitarian kit that most of us would like to have!!!! Very Happy

Keep up the good work and then outsource to a worthwhile local maker Bow down

Agreed, Can't have too much "shiney shiney" or cheap plastics". Ends up being a bit much. Rolling with laughter

Not a bad idea on outsourcing Luke Marsden
