Disco Rear Floor Replacement - IOmprtant Info!
« on: April 21, 2010, 15:19:23 »
An important message guys!

I've just replaced my rear floor and in doing so had to chop through the tie rods (AWR2977) that secure the rear seat belt buckles through the floor to the chassis.

I've just spent three days on the phone trying to find replacements!

Finally found one in the North at a dealers and another in the South at an independant. All the usual suppliers (and a few unusual ones!) list them as available but in fact they are on back order through Land Rover... even the dealers don't have them.

If you are about to change your rear floor... do everything you can to remove these tie rods in one piece!

Kindest

Can you not fit a ring bolt instead?? You'd need to grind the exposed threads off after you'd tightened  the nut up But apart from that it should fit quite nicely.

I could have helped you out with that.
I make extended ones for the body lifts, but you can fit them to standard height Disco's as well.

2 please.  I had to chop them out of our TDi too.  I'm going to have to replace the brackets unless I can get the seat-belt bolt out and the isolatiing rubbers too :(
