Half doors?

**Moon.dog62** · 23rd July 2012, 09:18 PM

I have a 93 deefer tray back and was thinking about taking the roof off come summer, so I will be wanting some doors with no window frames. I want to be able to put the roof back on in the winter. So what I'm wondering is what my options are? Do I cut down a pair of normal defender doors or is there another way to go about it? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Moony.

Series 3 doors without the tops on them.

Cool thanks, I hear that the door latches are different can you use the defender latches in the sIII doors?

I'm not sure. I think this is how the military 110's are setup though.

Series 3 doors will work on a 110 county (1984-1990). For later (defender) vehicles, I believe all you need to do is swap the strikers to SIII (2 bolts).

Thanks for your help guys. Has anybody who has done this got any other advice or anything else I should be aware of? Thanks again.

You will have to use a bit of ingenuity on the door checks - 2a doors are closer in their fittings than are S3 doors, but you can use either. To remain legal you need to get the late S3 burst proof door locks - bolt in replacements for the earlier lock, with their own special striker plate.
