Ranga - I'm keen for the same mate (and some guard tops also) - let's talk and see what we can get done.

Anyone have a cad drawing?

Try LR Parts

LR159B-3 - Bonnet Side For Defender Upto 2007 - Chequer Plate | LR Parts

these are the ones. I have these en-route to me as we speak. Ive ordered from them before. Shipping is slightly slow but not too bad - postage costs are reasonable and parts are good quality and cheap. Last order I got a harmonic balancer and fuel pump to make it worth my while.

check em out.

I wish lokka had got around to making his

It wouldn't be too hard to knock up a cad file as its not that complicated (four radius's and some straight lines........I'm sure there would be a member or two around that have the skills, make it available than members can go to there local plasma/laser cutting service.

I would lean on the draftee at work but he is under the pump and I have used all my favours up.

Thanks, but really can't see the need to import from the UK what is ultimately only a bit of checker plate cut to size. I'll try and find someone local I think.

Yeah I've got some 5 bar sheet that I'll eventually cut into some various pieces for bits I've been wanting, but mine is all hard anodised black, plus I already had some parts on order so for an extra $50 odd bucks - I couldn't get a sheet that long for that price let alone anodised too, even if I did the cutting drilling and grinding. The anodisers that I use have a minimum price for a set size tank. When I cut enough pieces to fill a tank then it becomes cost effective. Which I will do eventually, neck deep in a dozen other upgrades at the moment but.
