			Door posts.
		
 
			
				
					Hi All,
 
 Just wondering if anybody has replaced the front doorposts that attach to the bulk head on a Defender. Any pointers?
 
 Also does anyone know where they can be sourced in Australia? I have come across a few UK sites that have them but that's about it.
 
 Thanks.

					It can be done.  A series 3 A-pillar is the same as County, 200tdi and 300tdi.  Not sure about TD5 and Puma defenders.  I had it done on my 300tdi firewall a few years ago.  I recently noticed surface rust under the door seal where the new and old piece join.  
 
 I had the option of buying a new firewall from Land Rover for about $1300.  I wish I had done that now as have found other flaws caused problems with front doors closing.  It is a big job changing a fire wall.  The advantage is you can get it galvanised (risk of warping and captured nuts need to be retaped - my captured nuts let go so a bit of a hassle), cover with sound proofing, fill cavities with wax oil while upside down and laying down so it gets in everywhere.

					I have just started a thread on a repair job, I've nearly finished the firewall & will update it later next week. I tried to source replacement pillars without luck but they have tidied up pretty well by using angle etc.
