Hi,
Pardon my english but I'm looking for the items that hold the canvas in place on a soft top defender (I'm converting a hard top). I can't figure out the item name in english (or french anyway). Here is a picture. Thanks for your help! |

Is that not the single part that has never had its part number changed in all of LR's history?

Thanks for the bit of history
I was thinking about riveting them, do you think it's ok? |

Without walking outside into the excessively hot sunshine and checking, I am fairly sure that is how they were fixed on later Defenders. I'm pretty sure those on my 2007 TDCi DC are riveted.

They are riveted on my 02 DCPU and a couple of them actually obscure the rivets which fasten the tub capping.

That's QI! My 110 started life as a van and has been converted to canvas before I acquired it in 2014/15. The hooks are riveted on with sealed rivets but I have never got around to painting the bare aluminium hooks....
