I agree... A good bit of kit 👍🏻

Unfortunately mine didn't stay this shiney for long... Now powder coated black

Yup. What's the point in putting shiny things on a Defender... Rolling with laughter Mine is due to come off and I am going to raptor coat the majority I think.

Hi Jhollow. Yes there are two chassis mounts per side, front and rear. Plus the two axles mounts per axle as well.

The axle mounts look like this: Where the castle nut is.

and the chassis mounts look like this: See where the ARB bush mounts to the chassis.

Thanks. It looks like I have all the brackets except the rear inner ones on the frame rail. How do I position these properly if I am to weld them on?

I've also noticed that your rear inner brackets are 4 hole while the Britpart kit only has 2 hole brackets for front and rear (inner brackets). Is your ARB kit from another manufacturer? 2006 90 originally registered in Italy

So I was able to ascertain after looking at many pics and sites that the answer to my last question is that the 4 hole brackets are on the 2007+ Defenders. Mine would be a two hole being a 2006.

I would still like to know where these rear brackets get welded to the frame. Can someone with the brackets measure from some point so I know where to put them. Thanks. 2006 90 originally registered in Italy

I believe that from TD5 era onwards it was two hole front and 4 hole rear. Certainly that is how it is on my 2003 110.

I can measure up for you, but it will have to wait until it stops raining Rolling Eyes Life in North Wales Rolling Eyes

Thanks. Our cold wet weather has just left. Next 7 days are sunny and temps in the teens so looking forward to some good days of driving.

The Britpart kits I am seeing for the TD5 90 show only 2 hole brackets for front and rear. Could it be that maybe the 110's take 4 hole brackets on the rear? Interested in anyone with a 90 and the Britpart kit confirming one or the other. It will obviously dictate which bracket I buy. Thanks. 2006 90 originally registered in Italy

@Screbble....thinking about it the X eng ARB mounts on only two holes of the available 4 in my chassis brackets, but uses a 4 bolt saddle to clamp the bar Shocked Laughing

The ARB brackets on the rear of a Td5 90 onwards are fixed to the fuel tank brackets Theres are only 2 welded on nuts per side on the fuel tank brackets. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing
