    Chassis VIN location 1991 Defender

    In my restoration of my Defender I have painted over the VIN and can't identify the exact location, so rather than remove the paint from the whole area it would be good to know exactly where I should start.

    My vehicle is a UK/Solihull built 1991 Defender.

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

    Confident of the general area where the VIN is located, the problem is the digits are very light because the chassis was sandblasted before I got it.

    I can't remember if its stamped on the bracket under the RHS rail that the jack inserts into (like the Australian perenties/110s) or near the bottom of the main chassis rail or in the middle of the chassis rail like my RRc.

    What I want to do is remove the bare minimum of the protective coating system so that only the chassis number is uncovered.

    Hi, I just checked an old 92 / 93 chassis on a 110 we have up the back.

    The number is on the lower section of the chassis, center of the piece which has been welded on.

    Erich's is in the same spot as my '85, so theoretically yours should be there too.

    Only issue is that your chassis was an Aussie JRA Moorebank built one, but given two different ones.

    I just worry because in the series Landies UK, Au and South Africa all had different locations for their chassis numbers the only one missing being rear right corner.
