I would too if I wasn't as impatient as a 5 year old Rolling with laughter

Out of interest where is the nearest place to us that does galvanising? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

And where are you going to get them powdercoated then? I've got to get Mrs JK's rear step sorted too, it's hardly 1 year old and rusty already.

And while I have you on the line, North Devon gents, any ideas where to get a made to measure chequer plate made for the rear step? MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

That's close enough for me Clayton Thumbs Up

There is a small powedercoating place in Ilfracombe that I have used before. Although after a year it is starting to flake.

I might spray it as I have all the necessary equipment Thumbs Up

As for chequer plate you could try PR fabrications on pottington industrial estate in Barnstaple. I had some aluminium boxes made by them and they're excellent Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Jaro, firstly before you powder coat Mrs JK step get it galvanised at the place i have said for grafty, but before that you have to have any item shot blasted as they like it back to bare metal before galvanising it and the place i go to get all my powder coating is called Right Angle in Hatherleigh Whistle and they do the shot blasting as well Thumbs Up 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

grafty, had a bit of time to read through your thread and that's quite some beast you have under the bonnet, very impressive. plus the truck looks so good, one of my favourite badass looking 90 on here - that photo on the snow, tasty, should go into some LR magazine. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

Thank you very much jk84 Bow down

It is always nice when someone else appreciates your hard work. Makes it all worth while Mr. Green I followed my mate the other day after and when we stopped he said that it's quite an imposing vehicle to have in your rear view mirror Cool

I'd love it to feature in a magazine. Maybe one day Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Had a visit from Clayton today to collect the seats, had a great chat and had a go at diagnosing a strange noise my defender has started making around 40mph sounds like a mud terrain. Going to remove the front prop to begin with Thumbs Up
