Nice channel. I’m also restoring my 1990 defender 110 and documenting it on UA-cam.

07:28 I always keep all the screws in food-bags, with writing on them (e.g. "Chassis bolts" or "Dashboard screws"), broken or not - so even if I don't re-use them, I know exactly what I need to order. Saw the idea on another Landy channel some time ago.

one more step... congratulations...

[@soe_tv]

coming together beautifully, however i dont know if the brace for the heater tube will work with the engine moving from side to side as you drive

[@philthy4242]

Yeah, fair point. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know...

[@jonhall3112]

Thanks for featuring my LR at Cooma, with the pic of the queen. Where did you get the ducting for the heater and what tube did you use for the heater pipe?

[@philthy4242]

You're very welcome. I can't remember where we got the ducting but I'll get Adolfo to reply to this later, he will know

[@adolfoagresta9972]

Hi John
It’s ducting for a range hood that was left over from work. 😅
You can get it from Bunnings for about $15 and that will do about 5 land rovers. I think it was 110mm, just check your heater box, I also wrapped the two ends with some neoprene tape to get a snug fit.

[@adolfoagresta9972]

Sorry forgot to mention the heater pipe, that’s just a pice of hard drawn aluminium pipe I got from action aluminium 1/2 inch. I bent it with plumbers pipe benders and use a crox nut tool on either end so the hose wouldn’t come off. 👍 again I think the length of pipe cost me $8 and I have about 2m left.
