Thread: Series/Defender truck cabs?

The rear window mounting is entirely different as is the shape. I'm looking of r a Defender rear window for a friend's Disco-to-ute conversion.

The roof is not interchangeable due to the higher windscreen on the 90/110/Defender. The cab back section is different but interchangeable - the window is quite different, but the dimensions and attachment points of the overall cab back are the same.

to the best of my grey cells they are but you have to use the series windscreen yep it is very doooable

He wouldn't spoil a Disco ute with a Defender cab would he? There is a 120" Disco trayback in Victoria which is great. He used the rear corners from Mazda bravo or something and just made it wider. The door profile is almost identical to the Disco door profile.

yes, they bolt on with a square cornered rear window instead of round. I'd recomend a series 3 one with propper searbelt mounts, not just a bolt through from the outside like some earlier ones.

No, he just wants the window assembly.

I saw the pics of the Disco to which you refer on this forum last year.

It is even better IRL - saw it a Mockinya (Horsham) a couple of years ago and that is one Land Rover that should have gone into production.

Calling Lawrence - more ideas for you!

BTW Why doesn't he take a run up to Hilton Pollard's he has heaps of windows like that.

the plan is to find a proper hard roof for the workshop i've found *if* i can con the owner into parting with it
