Need some help please. No one appears to do a black SS bolt kit for the exterior. Any suggestions of a company I could use to spec what I need? Could my existing SS bolts be coated? On the Trophy all the doors have black bolts but I may just do the rear and cross member few under the rear door as it’s all getting painted black. Cheers Andy

Have you looked at getting a standard set Xylan coated? Turns them black and gives corrosion protection.

Accu will stock most things in black stainless or they will make them to order.

I had a set from nakagennagga (the guys in Germany) they were on back order so I added my name to the list, they have some issues, but I am told its due to the process of how they are coated, some have the middle of the screw still silver etc, but they worked for what I needed, though not cheep. Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing.
5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

Making progress, mainly taking bits off
 . Croytec hope they can anodise the handles black which would be handy and just trying to arrange the roll cage delivery.

SPRING20 discount code on JLR Classic parts has helped.

Test fit of the winch, 4 bumper holes are a little off which is annoying but easy enough the fix.

Thanks Shane,
Sills have proved tricky to get as obviously Bowler wont sell them so I bought a set standard from them, fitted the mounting brackets and a quick scan will let me create the T2 design. They are a single piece cut and folded with 2 end caps, and I can then retain the jacking points. I will also print a bracket to hold the battery conditioner that clips onto the new sill under the door.

Out of curiosity, why have you gone bilstein instead of Fox 2.0's? I could be wrong but you had the Fox set up a little while back? Would ike to know your thoughts. 4.0 V8 Defender 90
