    The 130 HCPU tub is wider than the Defender body.

    Cheers, Mick.

    I wonder how hard it would be to cut a series roof and widen it

    Roof

    That's exactly what I am doing at present. Cut it down each side of middle rib and fit wider flat sheet and then possibly reuse centre rib to strengthen.

    I then plan on fitting roof rack bars to strengthen and support roof basket.

    I needed a long and wheelbase roof to cut up in order to get the front and rear profile section to make extra width.

    Most difficult part I anticipate will be fastening it with sealant and screwing it to a wooden floor to spread the sealant prior to finishing it with rivets.

    I'll get back into it in a few weeks and learn how to post a photo.
