YRM also do a gasket that fits between the angle bracket and body tub, to isolate them and reduce the tub corrosion.
A small additional cost and easy fit when doing a crossmember change.

l have been looking at Puma Defenders as an option to replace my 2022 Defender.
A genuine question, I'm very interested to know.
