    Stainless Defender Hinges

    Gday

    Took my landy down to JC the other day. I never noticed it before, but he opened the door and gave it a shove. There is a huge amount of slop in the hinges. Only on the passenger side though.

    (Possible cause: not being used much in 13 years, and rusting shut then being worked free. JC's explanation)

    So, I remember once seeing stainless hinges to suit a Defender. Does anyone know anything about these? Otherwise Ill just get a standard set

    And yes I know, nice shiny hinges will add a bit to the **** factor

    Thanks

    Have a search through the UK based suppliers and eBay. Their reasonably available but the cost a fair bit.
