I’ve been continuing on the rear tub, specifically the mods around the front end of the wheel arches.
As a reminder, I’m widening the front floor area to allow more leg room for a set of Defender front seats fitted as a second row. The Jerrycan lockers have already been slimmed down to accommodate one water can each (they were too narrow to take 2 cans, so a lot of their space was wasted).
The photos show the initial marking out for the cuts (black marker) and the panel after cutting. The side panel is being moved 125mm (5″) outboard. A trial fit was made with the new sheet across the whole under side to act not only as a mudguard for the floor, but also for the locker (hence the panel being taller than the inner panel).
Hey Nick,
You say in this post that there are ‘pics below’ but none can be seen? Are they in the photos category? How can I best find the corresponding photos?
Tnx!
Thanks Ronald – an error on the page. I’ve gone back through my photos folder and added the most appropriate pictures.
