The front scuttle vents on a Defender are exposed to the weather and road spray, so the original mild-steel hinge pins often rust, seize and eventually break. Once that happens the vent flaps become stiff, won’t stay fully shut, or simply stop moving altogether.
This DA1179 stainless steel vent hinge pin set is a simple, permanent upgrade for the front vents on Land Rover Defender 90, 110 and 130. The stainless pins and fixings resist corrosion, ensuring the vents continue to work properly for years to come – ideal for vehicles used all year round or stored outside.
Use this kit when:
- Refurbishing or repainting your Defender’s front vents
- Replacing rusty, worn or broken vent hinge pins
- Upgrading to stainless hardware to prevent future corrosion
