Quick question - I need to replace the front doors on my Defender 90 (TD5).  Would doors from a Series fit - I like the style of the older flush door handles. 

Cheers, Tom.

Yes they do fit. but you will need to change the keepers.

Cheers Ali.  By 'keepers', do you mean the striker plate?

Yes you can.

You can use either the standard series locks ( like the yale latch) or the antiburst lock which is what is on your back door. Antiburst is better as the door won't spring open as you go over bumps.
The difficulty is the door handles on series doors are slightly lower so they wont line up with your strikers. So you need to re-drill the striker lower and elongate the holes so you get the adjustment.

You need to; get the series door restraints to stop them swinging too far forward. Modify a latch so it strikes the switch for interior light. Create a seal for bottom of the door. If you get the military door tops, the frames won't rot.


Works for me.

Sounds like the way forward - thanks for the info..
