After considerable thought I have decided that a replacement chassis is the best way forward, and the spec I have chosen is as follows:
- Defender 90" 300Tdi galvanised chassis, with
- anti roll bar mounts
- mounting holes for NAS roll cage
- rear mounts for additional fuel tank
- Td5 Rear cross-member
- A pair of Galvanized Heavy Duty Standard Height Front Shocker Mounts
- A Bolt in Gearbox Cross Member for 300 TDi
I chose the additional rear tank brackets to give me the option (at some time in the future) of replacing the rear tub with a Td5 item. No body mods would then be required for the rear fuel filler.
The mounting holes for the NAS cage will allow the future conversion to NAS style soft-top without making holes in the galv.
And finally I chose the Td5 style crossmember as I think they look neater. Since I do not off-road Sally I do not need the extra strength the Tdi crossmember affords.
