Long shot for parts!

I'm in the process of re-building my truck after it got spanked so hard in Africa. I have had all of the external armor re-powder-coated (sliders, cage, roof-rack, tire rack etc.) The powder coaters managed to lose my upper tire rack mount! That really sucks, because they are $300 or something from Land Rover. So if anyone has a bead on one, I would appreciate knowing. It is the same as the stock upper tire rack mount on a soft top Defender 90.

cheers

How can they lose something like that??!!

Shouldn't they have to replace it since they lost it?

Not sure Graham but maybe www.tidewaterrovers.com can source you one pretty cheap.

good luck!

Yeah, that is what I would think -- in both cases, but they seem pretty dissinterested in my plight and I need to get my truck back together. They can't find it, and there's not much I can do about that. I went by and searched with them, but no luck.

Rats!!

Bluerunner thanks for the link! I had not seen their web site before. But luckily the shop found the bracket today and are powdercoating it tomorrow. So all is well.

cheers!
