Title: Series III Door Bottoms
Post by: DBrands on March 17, 2019, 11:04 AM

Putting a feeler out for some decent Series III door bottoms to fit to my 90 while I fix the one piece doors. Any in Alberta looking for a new home?

Is your truck ex-MOD? If not, it will not fit Series 3 doors without modifications. The check hardware is different with regular Defenders. MOD Defenders had check hardware designed to work with Series 3 doors. You can buy half doors built to work with Defenders, but new does not sound like what you are after.

I cut up an ex-mod bulkhead a while back and the bolt hole pattern was the same. I've got the bulkhead-side brackets from it. Don't I just need the half door, door-side hardware to match?

If you have the check strap parts from an MOD and the door catch it should work.

Thanks for the insight John. Now to track down some doors and door-side hardware...
