BFL710030 - Fully Galvanised Defender Rear Door - Left Hand - Fits 1983 to 2005 (up to 5A689036) - Galvanised Steel with Zinc Plated Door Skin

To fit all Defender models with push button doors between 1983-2006

These are manufactured in England and a lot of time is spent making these as accurate to the original as possible to ensure a great fit every time. The frame is steel which is hot dipped galvanised so will last a very long time indeed, in many cases these will probably outlast the rest of your Defender!

To finish this door off so it is the best you can get, the door frame is fitted with a zinc plated steel skin which not only increases the strength of the overall door massively compared with the original aluminium skin, but it is also a lot more corrosion resistant so you will not get the white bubbling corrosion you get with aluminium. Plus it is far more dent resistant .

Each component of the door is lovingly pressed and worked to create the final product that is our eyes is a work of art and designd to still be here in many years to come. We have always found it a shame to do nice work on a Defender, only to find out a standard spec door has already started to rust out within a couple of years, so you end up having to repeat the process all over again , hence why we make these ourselves and make the best possible door available.

Inbetween the skin and the frame, we use marine bonding to stop the two surfaces rubbing together. This stops any drumming effect & makes the door feel a lot stronger & tighter all around.

Every threaded hole is clear of zinc and the hinges holes are drilled clear of zinc so this door is a straight swap over for your original part. You do do need any extra brackets or to drill any extra holes etc, everything from your old door will swap straight over to this door.

Please remember that hot dipped galvanising is an industrial process where the door frame is dipped into a molten bath of zinc. As a result there maybe some imperfections, i.e. excessive galv and in some instances where there was too much excessive galv, they have been flattened off before reaching mild steel and cold galv spray has been applied. There may be also some small areas where it is bare steel from where it has been hung on a wire or stuck to another item in the galvanising process.
