4

The Discovery is ready to remove the body work to make it easier to get at the Inner Wing, Battery Carrier & Headlight Unit. Here you can have a better assessment at the extent of the rust. Before removing any parts take plenty of datum measurements so that the new parts fit without any problems. Drill out the spot welds, remove bolts and cut to make to remove. Then remove the corroded parts or in this instance the whole lot as now it is a MOT failure for any rot within 300mm of a body mount. 7 8 9

The inner wing and headlight unit removed by drilling out the spot welds. 10

6

The bulkhead cleaned up ready to fit the new inner wing.  11

7

The headlight unit fitted, plug weld the previously drilled spot welds and refit the body mount. the primer will need to be ground off to weld the headlight in place then then primer will need reapplying before painting.  12 13

8

The inner wing clamped in ready to plug weld and fix in place, once the inner wing is welded in place  the inner wing can be painted up ready for the body work to go back on. The process can be applied to the Right Hand Side.  14 15

9

The inner wing all done (welded, seam sealed and sprayed)painted and complete ready refit the body work.  16 17 18 19

 

If you don’t need to replace the whole inner wing the same process can be applied by cutting out the rusted area back to clean metal then fit the required part.

Steps

1

The 2nd row floor and upstand removed, mark a line between the front of the 2 rear wheel arches and cut along with jigsaw, if you wish to replace the full rear floor with YRM 114B you will require YRM 115C which is shorter than stand floor to allow for upstand coming onto floor further. 3

2

Offer the underfloor support in place as you can see it has been notched around the underfloor supports (YRM product ref 098). 4 5

3

Clamp the underfloor support in place ensuring the holes on the underfloor support line up with those on the C post angle (YRM product ref 074 & 075), then drill and rivet between the wheel arch to hold under floor support in place. Apply PVC tape between dissimilar metals. 67

4

Slide the 2nd row upstand in place as shown in photo, this is pre-cut and will slide then offer up to the front of the rear wheel arch. Apply PVC tape between dissimilar metals, then rivet in place along the underfloor support and wheel arch.  8 9 10

5

The LWB floor end caps go along the top of the upstand and underneath the C post angle as shown in photo this will need to be match drilled and riveted. 11 12 13

Riveter
Drill and various drill bits
Tape measure and Marker
Bolster and Hammer
Appropriate PPE, Goggles, Gloves, Boots

Steps

1

An existing and corroded underseat toolbox for a Series Land Rover. The toolbox cannot dropped downwards because of the chassis rail, you will need to remove your sill rail by removing the 7 bolts that go through the floor plate and seat box end, 2 bolts on the A post and 2 bolts on the B post. To take out the seat box end – the bolts have already been removed, now you need to drill out the spot welds and use a bolster chisel to remove seat box end. 12

2

With the sill rail and seat box end removed drill out the rivets holding the underseat toolbox in place, then lift out. 3

3

Rivet the new underseat toolbox together and position the battery tray and cut a rectangular hole to suit 023A, when cutting aluminium apply WD40 to stop blade clogging. 4

4

Hold the underseat toolbox in position using clamps and match drill to previous holes. 56

5

When fitting sill rail apply PVC tape along any surface that come into contact with any dissimilar metal to prevent electro static reaction, whilst also using stainless fixings throughout. When fitting seatbox end match drill and rivet in place, then bolt to sill rail and B post. 78
