    series front door into 98 Defender

    Can it be done?

    Whats involved?

    What tricks are there for young players?

    catches/ hinge positions?

    I want to go back to 2 piece doors without window register problems but will still leak like a real landy.

    Regards

    Military 110 doors just look like Series3 doors to me.

    Pretty sure Series IIIs use the same hinges as on a Defender

    I've seen it done before

    I'll try and track down a photo of a mate who fitted them to his Defender

    Yeah, should fit but lock is different, should be able to maufacture something to make it work.. Military 110/Def doors look very similar (the door top glass is angled) not so easy to get hold of and prob cost a bit more.

    The doors will bolt straight on, but the easiest swap will be if you get series 3 doors complete with the lock and striker mechanism.

    Make sure you use the anti-burst type lock of the later SIII. The early tongue type locks don't meet ADR on the Defender.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
