It's probably due to landrovers build tollerances rather than the aftermarket gear.

normally i'd agree but its the chassis would need some SERIOUS adjustment to get this thing to fit  :evil:

Where did you get it?

I had one made by Mill Services for my old RRC and trying to get it to fit my new RRC was a nightmare. As said its LR build quality.

Is the chassis back end that different on concealed hinge classics than the older ones?
