Yes and they fitted no prob at factory height with only the slightest rub at full lock before adjusting the stops

Hi Mitch,
Diabolical corrugations rattled the bolts out. Root cause according to the chaps at rovertech was that it's taken a hit in that corner at some point. New parts installed but not torqued or threadlocked.
Needless to say i'm seriously unimpressed with the lying little toad i bought if off in sydney and also the entirely useless RAC inspection. In future i'd get a prospective purchase to a decent landrover specialist, but that's hind sight for you i guess.
It was on day 1 of a 10 day trip. Fortunately we were travelling with another vehicle and were lucky to find a rolled disco only a couple of hours drive away, which i was able to procure the caliper bolts from. Could have been a real holiday-breaker.
Parking rules applied...
In Australia, traybacks started to replace utes fifty years ago, and Landrover utes as opposed to traybacks, have been quite rare since the 1980s if not earlier. Add to this that Landrovers have been largely replaced as working vehicles by Jap vehicles in the same period, the lack of utes is hardly surprising.
I'm wanting to change my Series III tray to a tub. I just need to wait for a donor vehicle and have the pennys and then there'll be another one on the road. [emoji4]
