Rusty Screws

Has anyone replaces the panhead screws in the footwells with something a little more rustproof? I'm looking for a stainless option I think, where would you source? www.td5.org

Lots of canals in the midlands so surely must be a few chandlers about, or have i just spotted a gap in the market ? 2005 Td5 90 XS

Stigs Stainless do a stainless screw kit - I fitted one to mine and had all the right bits. http://www.a2stainless.co.uk/Defender-Series-3_B22EP.aspx 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

X2 the Midland Chandlers in Braunston, I go in there from time to time just to browse what they have.

Surprising what you can find which will work on the Defender

I've ordered a set from Stig for this job but will have a browse around Midland at some point when I am in the area.

^^ I've always had great service from them. I once lost one of the J-nuts off the back of a door hinge bolt when fitting one of their SS bolt kits, which wasn't even part of their kit. I phoned them to ask if they had a replacement - they sorted one right away and posted it out FOC. It arrived the following day! 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green
