Land Rover FFR 1986 Defender - Tub stiffener / support post


Steve A

Question

Good evening. I wondered if someone could help me with a part number conundrum for my 1986 Defender FFR Tithonus. I am looking to replace the rear support (for what I think provides bracing for the rear tub from the rear cross member) as shown in the photos below. Hopefully the photos help show where the support is locate and what it look like(rear corner of the vehicle). My conundrum being that I have search a significant number of Landrover part catalogues but unable to identify anything that looks like this part or any part that is located in the same area to be able purchase a replacement. This doesn’t look like a bespoke or ad hoc "Army" addition given there is one on the opposite rear corner, so wondering if anyone could help with a part number and or a similar part if possible. Very grateful for any help anyone can give me. Appreciated.

A stab in the dark - possibly a HD Wolf upgrade incorporate to Tithonus, or possibly pure Tithonus  ?   -  I would send the photographs & query direct to Hobson Industries , they did the Tithonus contract & possibly still have parts. 

The Merlin report I have says mine went to Stirling, Hobson based in Louth, would that be with same company?

Thanks in advance

Stirling would be  ABRO  , possibly the 110 were rounded up in Scotland at Stirling to examine for sound chassis (the basic requirement & they got it wrong at times).  Then sent on a transporter to Hobson who AFAIK did the work ?

Many thanks, I will send an email to Hobson's, as it's always interesting to follow a vehicle history
