Bummer Chris! Always less than satisfying when things like that happen - especially after waiting so long.
Sorry to hear about your rust issues also. I would rather fix something mechanical than bodywork any day.
Good luck! Dave

Very frustrating indeed,
I actually have replacement footwells that I just had hot dipped.
Though now I'm a little gun shy after have the latest parts won't fit debacle.
any other time I'd fix the existing panel, but they are rusted right over the chassis outrigger, which means there is no room to work in.
Has anyone replaced that section of floor before? how hard is it? any special tools required.
If the panels just come out by removing screws/rivets I'll give it a go. If welds are required, that's a whole other story.
'EMEI G103, Light grade repair (p169)' only refers to unscrewing the panels and tunnel. Sorry I cant advise furter as I haven't taken any off. The only seam I am aware of is high up on the firewall.

All good. Should be an easy fix.

Just put close to 4000kms on travelling from Adelaide up to mt dare, across the Simpson to Birdsville and back down, many more photos to come
Not hiding, doing my homework. I didn't know whether this was a tow bar that was still available new i.e. whether there was a finite supply or not. The dilemma is that if I put the information on the forum, this towbar will go the way of the Defender single cab. That is, 2nd hand supply will evaporate very quickly. If they're still available new at a decent price, that's much less of a problem.
I sent a picture of this towbar to Hayman Reese with the part number a few days ago and yesterday they responded confirming that it is still available under the same part # and it hasn't changed in design. Perfect, I guess everyone can have at it then.
