The final door has been built up (driver’s door). The new window channels have helped the windows’ firmness on both front doors – they no longer slip under their own weight.
The remaining vent flap has been fitted to the bulkhead. I had the same problem with zinc plugs having built up in the bulkhead’s part of the flap hinges during galvanising, but clearing these with an allen-key and hammer worked.
The Jerrycan locker doors are now attached using 5mm alloy rivets along the rear piano hinge. For new over-centre catches were gloss enamelled and riveted to the doors. The old locks added when I first installed the lockers are being re-used – all they needed for reconditioning was a liberal spray of silicone lubricant.
Crikey thats looking shiny! too shiny perhaps????? well done snag, it’ll be done in no time.

Hello Nick
Nice job!
Can You tell me where I can find jerrycan lockers? I live in Belgium and looked for them a long time. Is there a place in GB where they sell them?
Thanks, Jan!
Hi Jan,
My lockers came from a scrapped UK military 110. They were modified to fit a 109 by trimming the apperture frames’ return flanges in the front top corners to allow the units to mount far enough forward to fit infront of the wheelarches, and by removing the bracket under the lockers’ floors to stop them fouling the 109’s outriggers. They’ll fit unmodified to a 110. Wolf 110 style lockers are available from some LR expedition eqipment and preparation specialists, but I’m not sure who.
