Thread: Front doors

mods, feel free to move this to the general Series section, I didnt realise there was one.

cheers

Series 3 doors have the right hinges, usually have door locks too. I think they are the same design otherwise.

Series 2/2a doors have the sliding bit of the door check on the bulkhead, Series 3 has it on the doors.

Series 2/2a door locks have the lock cylinder integral with the outside handle, Series 3 have it mounted on the lock body, and with a separate hole in the door skin.

Antiburst locks were fitted to meet ADRs about 1978? and are, with their striker plates, a bolt-on replacement for the earlier locks on either door. Both lock types are available.

Hinges are interchangeable on either door type, Series 3 is the same as current Defender.

Door tops are the same except for the window lock, which is a plastic slider on Series 3, and a push and twist knob at the top on 2/2a. Series 2 has BSF threads, 2a/3 has UNF. Door tops are fully interchangeable.

Structurally there is no difference in the doors.

Ah not too fast there Tiger....

The Military ones are manufactured from a thicker grade material, we sell both types.

But as said everything else is the same, unless you of course want the galvanised.
