Galvanised Rear Door to fit Defender (Galv Steel Skin)

Fully Galvanised Rear Door to fit Defender 90/110
To Fit All Models Between 1983-2002

This is a high quality UK made door with exact pressings as per original

The frame is hot dipped galvanised and the zinc plated steel skin is marine bonded to the frame to prevent corrosion through the two surfaces rubbing together. This also stops the drumming effect & makes the door feel a lot stronger & tighter all around.
The galv steel skin is 1mm thick and adds a lot of extra strength to the overall door

Being a premium part the door comes with all the holes and welded in nuts already in the frame so everything from your old door will just swap straight over without modification. Wheel carrier holes can be drilled if required.

This is made in the UK to precise and exact tolerances, you will not find better quality on the market!

This is a direct swap for your old rusty door with no modifications needed.

The weight of this door is 13.4kg compared to the original spec door with an aluminium skin fitted which is 10.1KG

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.

Important note, you must not sand off any of the zinc coating on the skin before painting as this will remove the zinc coating and remove it corrosion resistance.

The zinc coating on the skin is perfectly smooth as it is applied electronically. Whoever paints the panel must be given the instructions to simply go over the skin and frame with Mordant solution / T wash which etches the zinc finish black and means the paint will properly adhere. You should then go over with an etch primer, then a high build primer and then finally your colour coats. Do not sand the skin at all before any paint is applied.
