The vehicle 1950 80 inch serial No# R06114104 and came from a farm near Cudgewa Victoria Australia. It was bought for parts 35 years ago for my early Landrover. It has metal strips down the side of the bulkhead on both sides and metal angle braces at both corners at the bottom rear of the tub. There is an emblem painted on both doors that is faded but I have been told it is an early SMA. It also has holes drilled above in both rear wheel mudguards for something. It had a larger front bumper which originally been chromed with one side broken off. I used the brackets off it to mount a bull bar on another vehicle. but what is left is in the photo.
Can anybody tell me if the metal strips and corner brackets were fitted to any Landrovers or have they been added by SMA or someone else.91500

These strips and brackets were added after production. Similar modifications are not uncommon on early Landrovers as weaknesses in the original designs were uncovered by hard use.

check out and see if your virus protection isnt preventing "popups" from appearing, if you get something across the base of screen asking then enable pop ups from aulro then it should show about 1/2 screen size :)

This may not be the problem this time but is often the problem.

Well, with my O/S (Linux Mint KDE) it is a left click, not a right click.....

This time the photos worked perfectly!!!
Excuse my ignorance, what is SMA?
Those rear corner brackets are added, under hard use it was common to crack the corners of the tub. The LHS side of my 50 model tub is all cracked up as well......
