Are you LHD?
One of the first things I did after getting the 110 and traveling through Italy is fabricate a nice solid cubby hole under the right hand seat box for small laptop, camera etc. There's loads of room under there, even leaving the ECU in place:  Click image to enlarge Brilliant thing is you absolutely cannot see there is anything there from outside 
Keep meaning to put a frame around it but I only ever notice it's there when I use it... and then forget :roll: Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

ZeDefender - that's great! Any chance of a pic from above without seat and plate in place? Would be interested in how much space that occupies. Not much room for jump leads etc in a 110 SW! My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk

Sure - pics and dimensions tomorrow
I should warn you though, it's not pretty from the outside, as I was bored one evening and just sat down with a hammer, some beer and a riveter

Here are some pics. Sorry they're not very informative but the box is pretty much hidden (doesn't affect access to the fuses etc. though):
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The measurements are: 33cm (13") deep 19cm (7 1/2") across 13cm (5") high 21cm 8 1/4") aperture diagonal Only issue is that my ECU isn't in the right hand seat box - probably should find it sometime...

Well, with postage it gets to 33AUD, 27 Euros they say.
Here two DIY solutions with no effort to get the doors to open 90°. Sorry, in German, but the pics explain. http://www.blacklandy.de/blboard/forum/sho...ostcount=4 http://www.my-landrover.de/My-Landrover.de/Turen.html |

Ordered mine from the land of Oz today - only 30 something Euros. I'm hoping they don't require drilling into the floor panel - probably should have asked

Am I missing something here ?
You guys are prepared to pay over £20 for a couple of bolts ???? Don't forget to extend the door locking / window power cables .....
