I have a 93 deefer tray back and was thinking about taking the roof off come summer, so I will be wanting some doors with no window frames. I want to be able to put the roof back on in the winter. So what I'm wondering is what my options are? Do I cut down a pair of normal defender doors or is there another way to go about it? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Moony.

Series 3 doors without the tops on them.

Cool thanks, I hear that the door latches are different can you use the defender latches in the sIII doors?

I'm not sure. I think this is how the military 110's are setup though.

Series 3 doors will work on a 110 county (1984-1990). For later (defender) vehicles, I believe all you need to do is swap the strikers to SIII (2 bolts).

You will have to use a bit of ingenuity on the door checks - 2a doors are closer in their fittings than are S3 doors, but you can use either. To remain legal you need to get the late S3 burst proof door locks - bolt in replacements for the earlier lock, with their own special striker plate.
