Col, you sure he still does, I know they used to do them in the past but from when I asked recently he would not supply them only with a set of seats etc. 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

Anybody got a picture of what the pins look like from the above provider? I spoke to them on the phone but as I am not in the UK they wont ship Sad

Interested to know if they are similar to the ones I have already (kind of a metal pin that goes into the seat base, then a angle of aluminium for the back of the seat base to fix to. Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions...

The exhaust is now done.....really quite pleased with it but will certainly need some insulation in places.

I've finally found a a company to do my interior and that returns my calls and seem interested in my project. I'm using Transcal, was a long trip to Scotland but very impressed with the operation and masses of Defender experience.

http://transcal.co.uk/

Currently doing the electrical install which is a mamouth task.

I've made a start to a wiring schematic, there is still around 25 items to add....

All looking great, surprised someone like Transcal would be interested in a one off job? Are they expensive? I wonder if Highlander vehicles use them?

Hi All, hope you can help, I'm looking at connecting the AC and amongst the many option I want to make a connector to go from the LR connector to the New sanden compressor. My though is to make a connection plate (with flexible to new compressor) by cutting the rear plate from a knackered LR (TDCI) compressor.

Does anyone have or know where I can get a compressor thats not working. If all else fails I buy a working one but seems a shame.

I'll also put a post up in the wanted section if allowed

Give Cool Air Logan a shout and see what they say. They provide after market AC for defenders as well as others and their customer service is superb. They may well be able to offer up some sort of adaptor off the shelf.
