SupporterFabbed up the bumper but havnt cut the crank hole yet.
Thought the chrome bumper on the Gaydon one looked pretty smart and was considering doing the same.
Then thought perhaps I should keep it true to the way the Aussie ones were with a galv bumper as the Gaydon one has a few things not original too it.
What do you all think.
Galv or Chrome?

I remember welding those door striker plate mounts up on the 'Farms' '54 86" they used to break and when I brought my first car '55 86", the striker plate mount was a lot stronger with the extra strap factory welded across it.Originally Posted by 123rover50
The punched holes I'll have to think about.

Has anyone had a bumper bar done recently?Hi Keith , As I said clever bugger, Bumper looks good.
I have the front and back bumpers to get done off the wife's '56 Chevyand I'm wondering about how much to expect.

SupporterArthur, I have just been told that the holes in the seat base brackets are for locating pegs in the 107 one piece back rest.
I went to a chrome shop on the Sunshine Coast and described my bumper.
They quoted around $500.00.
There is another specialist bumper plating place in Brisbane I will take the bits to for another quote.

Our hobby's cost a bit don't they?
But all hobby's do, a fitted golf club can cost about $500 as well.
There is only one part number 303714 in my 3rd edition copy of the 4107 Parts Catalogue.
I wonder if there are any 1st editions still about?
The message inside the front cover of my 2nd Revision October, 1961 copy states;
TECHNICAL PUBLICATION No TP155/E
This publication supersedes the 3rd edition, Publication No. TP155/C, which should be destroyed
This same style of message is also inside the 3rd edition.
I have very little to do with 107's apart from helping a owner source 11" brakes to replace his woeful 10" original fitment ones, I do remember a one piece seat back, but didn't realise it was a factory fitment, checked the 4107 and found two part numbers under Cab Delux Trim, P185/plate ref16;
Rear squab complete, trimmed in Plastic, P/No 306175.
Rear squab complete, trimmed in Viscose, P/No 267681.

SupporterHi Keith . The more I look at the bumper on the Gaydon Royal it looka like its made out of polished aluminum ,it doesn't look shiney enough tfor chrome . Aluminum may have been a cheeper than chrome. My 80" when I bought it off you had a aluminum bumper.I've got some good photo's of 107 front & rear seats with bench seat squabs &3 peace seats & also rear step & darn door out of the" Origional Landrover " I will post them when my son inlaw comes over & shows me how. I'am not good with computorsWayne
