The headlining was a recent eBay purchase from a guy with the username 'lrdlife'. I've had a quite few bits from him now, including later rear and passenger doors, and his prices are a lot more bearable than most of the breakers. He also usually offers postage, although I did collect the headlining.
As for rivnuts, I've kept a selection in stock for years. Again, you can pick them up on eBay. I think I bought my rivnut tool from a stand at Billing in the early '00's, back in the days when there were lots of useful stuff for sale. I've misplaced the M6 collet though, so keep meaning to buy another  Darren

Nice one LRA
I have the closed cell foam under mine.. Helps a lot with the noise and insulation. I haven't got a telephone piece yet. Rivets are great, I used some to put my headliner in, better than fir trees and easier to remove. 1993 200Tdi Defender 90 |

Very nice with the headlining
I'm sorry LRA but the OCD has come out again in me and in your top pic, the screws that hold the head light surrounds on, are very noticeable, would look nicer in black ? ( IMO )  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

This evening the sun was shining so thought I'd fit the hinge blocks that I'd carefully painted weeks ago. As is the way with these things though, it wasn't as easy as it should have been
The idea was to replace these:  Click image to enlarge With these: Click image to enlarge Starting on the drivers side, the first job was to remove the internal clamp that locks the proper hinge in place. I expected this to be a fight with rusted bolts but was actually quite easy: Click image to enlarge The hinge itself came off without too much trouble but revealed that it had been stuck on with what looks like Hylomar 
Click image to enlarge I cleaned it off with a scraper and wire wool but the paint is very soft and so that came off too, so I was left with no option but to mask it up and repaint: Click image to enlarge It's not brilliant, but then none of the paintwork is, so it'll have to do for now: Click image to enlarge With a bit of luck, I'll fit the hinge block to this side tomorrow and then tackle the passenger side.

So, today I fitted the first hinge block. All pretty straightforward, with new bolts and clamps for the inside:
Click image to enlarge I sprayed the inside of the top of the bulkhead with ACF 50 before positioning the new block: Click image to enlarge I then made a start on the other side, which revealed yet more Hylomar: Click image to enlarge It cleaned up pretty easily though: Click image to enlarge One thing I did notice is that the bulkhead holes are tubed. The other side wasn't, which leads me to believe that it's been repaired at some time in the past.

So, yesterday evening was mostly spent masking and painting:
Click image to enlarge Then this evening I fitted the remaining hinge block. I bought the bare blocks from eBay and then had to buy the internal hardware that clamps it all in place: Click image to enlarge Technically, there's another single hole spacer for the top bolt position, but that part was hugely expensive for some reason. So I used a couple of M8 stainless washers instead, which matched the thickness of the two hole spacer perfectly. I made the rubber gaskets and, when it's all tightened down, they seem to provide a good seal. Time will tell, I guess. Anyway, here's the finished result: Click image to enlarge It obviously looks exactly the same as every other 90 made after about 1994, but it pleases me 
In other news, I've bought myself a nice, clean Sprinter bottle jack to replace the standard pillar jack. Just got to work out where I'm going to store it now: Click image to enlarge Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

Absolutely. It's those sort of details that make all the difference

Thanks I'm trying not to fill my battery box as I want to install a second one and a split charge unit. I'm looking at fixing the new jack to the bulkhead behind the seats in a similar way to the original one, but haven't actually tried it for size yet. Darren

My Sprinter Jack came with a bracket to mount it.
Loads of people bought these on D3 maybe a polite ask on there and somebody might have a spare there not using. ? (i'm planning on using mine to mount it) Click image to enlarge |
