Hi there if anyone has swapped to plain sides in an ex utility land rover like these;
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Defen...&rt=nc  Click image to enlarge I dont mind buying the whole panel if i have to as above. Missed out on the ones linked as had a call out at work and had no signal. If not fire engine/ electric board roller shutters as long as there only in the side pannel (not down the tub) Im going to make a back for a double cab out of a land rover roof so a pair would be ideal or just one. The ones linked are ideal if anyone has any sitting around. Happy to pan for a pallet or collect. Cheers Defender puma dormobile camper Last edited by SailingTom on 15th Jan 2015 9:22am.

I once put side lockers into a truckman top ,very easy to make ,I sourced the frame and doors from a catering van builder ,about £90 for the pair then used the panel I cut out bonded onto 12mm ply for the insert into the door framing,hinges were also from the catering manufacturer,gas struts from bq kitchen range,if I was to do it again I would have the doors hung on bottom ,ie dropping down with restrictors fitted so the door acts as a table at 90 degrees to body I will try to dig out some photos

Thanks Guys, either of those types would also be ideal. Im liking the roller shutter, have to look out for a set now. They seem perfect for what I want to do.
If I dont find any though or have any luck on here Ive found the perfect excuse to tour the local burger vans  Defender puma dormobile camper |

A new project? Don't the fire brigade have roller shutters on their tenders?

Tom,
If you contact Nevets22002 on Landy Zone he found a company in Birmingham that made a set for him and from memory the company specialises in Horse Box fabrication. I can drop him a PM if you like. Good luck Andy |

Tack box doors is what I'm putting in mine, on ebay for £100 brand new from horsebox building company, they do come up now and then.. Series 3 88" side panels fit perfectly, fitted one of mine in the cold today!
Cheers. Alex |

Thanks Guys keep the ideas coming. Im in no real hurry so keeping a look out for some roller shutters and price up some done to fit if the Company Andy said still do them.
Ive got a series roof lined up ready cheers Alex Think it should be worth the effort as opposed to a truckman top purely for the aspect of standard roof racks fitting and should still look in keeping. Opening sides are a must though like my soft top is now 
A few possibilities now as Leenorthants horse box windows/ lockers look the right sort of sizes to and a good price; http://www.transportwindows.co.uk/index.ph...amp;p=ecom Defender puma dormobile camper |
