Hello, first post for me here and I'm asking for help 

I'm a serial series owner, also have a disco 2 and get paid to drive these at the weekend.


My question is about my mate's defender.
It had a heavy shunt at the front offside pushing the axle back and bursting the rear mount of the radius arm.



Sorry about the bad phone pics.

Question is, will this just be a case of welding on a new rear mount? The bottom link mount will need some work too.
I've done a fair bit of chassis welding on my series LRs including fitting a new half chassis and don't mind having a go at this. The chassis doesn't appear to have any bends or twists. Anything else I should be looking out for?

As it is for someone else, I might end up farming it out to a specialist. Any recommendations for someone to do this for him. It's in the angus area but can be trailered anywhere.

TIA

provided the chassis is straight and you can check that yes you should be able to fit a new bracket  on the chassis and axle, have a look at yrm solutions they may sell the bits you need. looks like it need shocker and turret etc too.

Yep, shocker is goosed. Prop shaft seems ok. I'll have a look at YRM thanks.

don't forget to check the transfer box for damage , the prop will have given this a good hit when axle went back. 

good luck shug...
