The toolbox access hole is smaller than standard due to the the position of the seatbelt anchor mounting plate toward the back of the 110.

I finished my 110 conversion in 2006. We've done lots of memorable trips in that time.

yes - I could see how you solved that problem.

I have a couple of spare anchorages - the one that goes frontmost of those three side anchors will fit in the rear spot.

The issue of the "perentie" cutout for the toolbox notwithstanding, the front ones look superior to me anyway.

I struggle to see why LR used a different design for the rearmost ones. The differences (compared with the frontmost one) are

1. The angle reinforcing under the stiffener goes outboard
2. There is no additional reinforcing above the stiffener at the outboard end
3. The actual fixing point is further inboard.

Here's some pics of each anchor point. My wagon body is a 1988/9 model 110.

The rear most anchor design may be different as the floor level changes/drops. Here's the inside view of the rear most anchor.

The last pic sheds the light!

The 110 has a light cover for the wiring to the rear lamps that means that there wouldn't be enough room for the seatbelt fitting. I dont think the floor level change matters. If keeping the perentie lights and blanking off the 110 fittings then no light cover is needed and the seatbelt anchor could be moved outboard.

I was very interested to see the vertical front end of your toolbox compartment. My donor body is 1986/7 and has a 45deg front wall on the LHS toolbox- identical to the perentie. The pre-1987 110s had a different centre anchor/stiffener for the LHS to suit.

I see that your stiffeners are fastened by bolts rather than "monobolt" rivets.

Finally - am I right in seeing that the rear seats are fastened to "riv-nuts" - my donor just has a hole.

That step down at the rear of the wheel-arches seems to be there on all the non-series 1 landys that I've seen.

What's it there for?
