Title: Defender Body Cappings
Post by: diggerdog36 on January 16, 2008, 11:57:05: My 90 (1988) has really bad rust on the rear tub cappings, they are 3 piece welded. But ive been told that the later one piece jobbers fit.....but ive also been told they dont. What can I fit (preferably one piece). I have a bulkhead inside and want them to go from the rear door, along the side, to the front door!!

Cheers
Part numbers would be helpful!

I replaced them on my 110 a few months ago.
Sorry don't know the part number.

Post by: L90OOK on January 16, 2008, 18:14:16: A mate of mine owns/runs a small fabrication firm in Kingsbridge. He sends allot of stuff to South West Galvanisers (I think its called that). He get charged by the tonne so my stuff goes when he has stuff to go. Usually every 1-2 weeks. The rear light cappings in the above photo are the originals. I stripped them & got them galvanized through him :afro:
If you want me to give them to him, strip them to bare metal & get in contact. :afro:
