Title: Rear door chequerplate
Post by: Damonski on March 27, 2006, 16:07:09: ive after a rear door chequerplate I know there has been lots of talk in the past about them.

What Im after tho is somewhere local to Cheshire area that sells them, Im really looking to collect one. Rebel 4x4 is only up the M6 in wigan, but they insist they dont allow or provide a collection service.

Is there anywhere else ? I dont fancy making my own as I dont have a suitable tool for cutting the shape out and providing a nice neat edge.

:idea: Thoughts please :?:

Post by: simondarby on March 27, 2006, 18:59:23: Got mine from Brookwells in South Devon. Local to me but not to you so pointless saying really...

As far as I can gather over the counter, it's an SPI part. LRD300 is the part number I believe.

Piece of cake to fit with a cordless drill and a handful of self tappers. Stuck a little rubber grommet between sheet and door at every screw and it doesn't even rattle.

Going to mount a camping cooker in a fold out box on it for expeditions and stuff....

Post by: Big Rich on March 28, 2006, 09:44:58: I went to a local company who makes stainless steel worktops. I gave them the old trim off my rear door and asked them to make the pockets too out of tred plate.

Cost me about Ã‚Â£55 about 4 years ago.

Azimax Engeneering in Kingsthorp Northampton.

Worth a try with a local company round you if you didn't want the trip.

I had 5 wheels sent to the other end of the country for Ã‚Â£20.

Seems dodgy to me if a company don't allow collection in any way though.

Post by: Cal on March 30, 2006, 17:12:04: Glad to be of help! I've got tons and tons of websites stored in my "favourites" folder on the PC at home - takes a while to find what I'm looking for, but covers pretty much anything you could ever need for a Landy!

I'm quite keen to get one from them as well - all depends on whether I can be ars*d to try and hook up the rear door speakers to my non-LR stereo...

If thats the sub speaker in the rear door, forget it. Buy a small amp and mount a 6x9 speaker and mount instead config the amp to have a low pass cutoff and you'll have a suitable replacement ;)
