Series 3 Chassis

Standard Chassis

We build the last suffix of the Series 3 Chassis which is Land Rover's final leaf sprung design. This features extra bracing and gussets making it far superior to earlier suffix designs. This chassis will fit all Series 3 Land Rovers.

 

Military 1 Ton

This is the heavy duty military version of a 109" chassis with twin height suspension hangers, oil cooler mounts, bolt up gear box cross member and military rear cross member

 

Air-portable / Lightweight

This is the full military chassis complete with the square shape rear cross member which is fully braced for extra stability. It has the proper style seat belt mounts, oil cooler mounts, bolt up gear box cross member and front bumper cross member with narrow bulk head riggers. These chassis are available in both 12v and 24v versions and are uni-frame as standard.

 

Stage 1 V8

We now manufacture Stage 1 V8 chassis. This is the forerunner to the defender chassis. It is easily distinguishable by the fact that they have a 110 bonnet and radiator grille but are still leaf sprung and is technically the first stage (hence the name) of the transition between leaf sprung and coil sprung Land Rovers.

 

2B Forward Control

We now manufacture the 2B Forward Control chassis. It is available in 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder versions .

 

Modifications and Extras

We offer a range of modifications and extras for the Series II.

This was the Land Rover that the army threw out of Hercules transport planes with varying degrees of success. its most notable feature is that it does not look like your classic Land Rover having slab sides, being narrower than a normal Land Rover and sharing not one common panel below the window line.

The chassis are also different being 2" narrower than a standard chassis. our chassis have the number 1 cross member which sits behind the bumper, oil cooler mounts, tie rod bracket, the military style seat belt mounts. The biggest difference to the civilian chassis is the rear cross member which is narrower in width and is just a plane oblong shape with mounts for the military style NATO hook. it also has extra gussets and bracing to impart more strength into the rear cross member for heavy towing capabilities.

Occasionally the rear cross member from this vehicle was used on civilian style vehicles to provide them with NATO hook for towing military loads.
