Cut out the seat box lining, cut down the template 10mm all round and marked it onto the seat box, cut with a grinder, cleaned the hole with a file and lined it with some 7mm pinch weld I had lying around. fitted hinges to the new door and fitted the key lock. riveted the hinges to the seat box, then put some 3mm foam tape to seal it. Then glued the original seat box lining to the colourbond for effect. Removed the wheel chock and fitted the compressor in its place, ran the air hose around the battery. Just have to fit a new on/off switch somewhere just inside the door and leave the original one switched on. Pretty happy with the outcome

H--- YEAH!
Lookin' good.

Does the top of the seat box flex more with the side panel cut out?
I've thought of something like this on the Driver's side, but the seat box is fairly weak before chunks are removed.

No movement at all from what i have seen, but I will check it out and post.

Pulled the trigger on these recaros last night. Remanufactured. Specialist M. Mine will be exactly like the ones in the picture with cloth center and leather surrounds. I won't have the Land Rover emblem. I will have recaro in black on one of the ribs. 8 weeks away.

As I'm getting my smash repaired and getting the smashed led reverse light replaced o thought it's time to protect them as this is the third time they will be replaced and at 500 a pop for genuine it's worthwhile. Had to move the mounts across a little to fit them.

An orkney coloured D90 with a frenchie - looks kinda familiar... (here's the 'navigator' giving us the hurry up somewhere on the Gibb last year).
