    1993 Defender 110 Is the Door Trim Clip the Same as on the Wheel Arch?

    Hello All,

    When I took the black Wheel Arch that goes on the outside of the mudguard fff my 1993 Defender 110 - I noticed that some of the trim clips - the pin type were missing or had broken off before I started. The closest thing I could find online was Part Number MWC9918LCS. These are identified as Nut Locking Door Trim Clip. I attached a photo of what the part looks like. Is Part Number MWC9918LCS the correct part for the mudguard Wheel Arch?

    If this is not the right part can someone please identify what the correct part number is please?

    Kind regards
    Lionel

    I’ve seen these at KLR. They have them in grey for the doors and black for the wheel arches.

    KLR’s website says AFU1075 for the wheel arch flare up to 2006. See Search results

    You can buy them from Ebay, you'll have to measure yours to decide which ones to buy.

    There are Scrivets, they have a screw in the centre rather than just a pin to push in.
    Otherwise look for plastic rivets.
    1000's to choose from.

    Here's a couple of examples :-

    Hello All,

    By combining some of the information kindly sent in your replies I have come up with the following:

    Via P38Rover An alternative to using these is to fit rivnuts and screws as a stronger fix Accessed 28th February from, Plastic Rivet, Wheelarch Flares - KLR Automotive Well, that is one problem solved - some of the wheel arch flare pins were ripped out previously and the arch in these places was held in by tie-wire. It was a former farm vehicle. The mounting holes are torn on the wheel arch, so using a couple of rivnuts and large washers in these damaged places will provide a fix.

    Via mrb505 The Part number MWC9918PMA - Rivet-plastic-drive - Find Land Rover parts at LR Workshop Rivet-plastic-drive
    Once I found out the part number I found that 4wdindustries Male Black Trim Clip for Land Rover Defender MWC9918PMA Securing flares to wheel arches (8 required per rear flare 12 required per front flare). These pins are also used for Front and Rear Door Trim (2 required per door).

    I ordered a couple of this and I will source a couple of other clips I am missing on the car to make-up a collection of required clips. I will then post these off to one bulk trim clip suppliers like Colin suggested. I found one supplier earlier who suggested sending in samples to be matched out of their supplies

    I came across a Defender specific trim clip kit made by Bearmach. However, by the time it lands in Australia it costs a couple of hundred dollars - no thank you.

    I took a specific Jeep grille clip to my local Autobarn last weekend, and they rummaged through a divider box of trim clips and came up with a match. It was a dear way to buy the ones I needed; however, the Jeep had to be done in a very short timeline.From this experience, it would be good to buy the trim clips and pins for the Defender direct from a generic supplier as Colin suggested.

    Thank you all for your contributions - I greatly appreciate your assistance.

    Kind regards
    Lionel

    You can replace the plastic pin with a screw which makes them reusable. Mike, from British Restorations covers this in a video and mentions the size of screw he uses. Unfortunately I don’t recall the size.

    Panel Beating Mudguard

    Hello All,

    An additional reason for taking Snowy's driver's side mudguard off was to gain access to a large creased dent. Apparently, Snowy did not duck when a broad acre seeder boom swung past.

    The first two photographs are the Before shots from this morning. I undid all the bolts that hold the side of the mudguard to the front panel where the head light is fitted. This gave me the opportunity to lie the panel flat on my steel workbench.

    I then used a LPG blow torch to anneal the aluminium all around the big dent. It meant sacrificing the paint in that area. After some judicious use of a fairly significant tapometer I had the dent roughed out.

    From that point I used a selection of dollies and a couple of different panel beating hammers to fine things out and re-establish some of the panel lines.

    I have done all I can today with the hammer and dolly. I need to move up to a panel slapper to get the hammer marks out.

    I also ordered some aluminium brazing rods. The end of the crease caused a tear in the front corner of the mudguard. I will drops some big gloops of aluminium braze in the hole and the tear - then file and sand it down.

    Then it will be etch primer and the other paint related stuff.

    Kind regards
    Lionel
