Thread: Saw my 1st 2007 Defender today

G'day Spudboy

Mud Products in the UK make a longer seat slider for the new 2007 defender for tall people, "Mudrails" somebody on the forum will know more info.

cheers

The first one I have seen some months ago at the nearest dealership was then only a few days old and had already moisture behind the lights and indicators...

Don't bother....

A couple of lengths of 20mm box section do the same job.

Has anyone got some specs on the dimensions of the Mud-Rails if I wanted to fabricate my own?

I remember Incisor saying they are more than just a couple of lengths of steel, so it may be more involved.

Some photos would be good.

Baz.

Looks pretty much like a length of steel with a notch taken out of one end, and 3 holes drilled in it.

How come they cost so much?

Hi Spudboy,

That DIY project cost me about $30
1. 2" RHS offcuts - $12
2. Bottle of black paint - $9.95
3. Bolts, nuts and 4 plastic caps

I recommend to weld additional 8mm strip inside and tap a tread for seat rails mounting bolts.

Cheers,
Ruslan

G'day Folks

One would have to think about the Insurance aspects of homemade ones in comparison to "Branded" units with certification and Export permits as most Insurance Coy's will try ANYthing to get out of honouring a claim.
