Rovers North

A Blank chassis is a Land Rover factory design that allows you to bolt on the engine mounts of your choice, making it ideal for fueled engine, or electric conversions.. Often called an adaptor chassis, instead of welded on engine mounts it is supplied with welded on mounting plates with tapped holes and bolts for custom engine mounts. The welded on mounting plates are generous in size with 5 attachment bolts per side to accommodate a range of mount locations. OEM Marsland center seam manufactured with hot dipped galvanized finish. Not to be confused with aftermarket replacement chassis, this is a complete upgrade, offering the latest in chassis structural technology from Land Rover for owners who want to improve their Defender chassis. Stronger, with reinforced bulkhead outriggers and body mounts. Safer, with improved crash performance. Rear cross member features integral fixing nuts for convenient mounting of NAS step, tow and recovery equipment with recessed mounting point for towing plug so it is no longer exposed underneath. Includes galvanized flat gearbox cross member. Includes top link bolts with Genuine bushings and rear galvanized adjustable body mounting bracket. Made in the UK.

Rovers North only supplies Genuine Land Rover and OEM Marsland Defender chassis. Both these chassis are manufactured on the same Land Rover tooling. The Genuine chassis is supplied in electrostatic E-coat Black and the Marsland is supplied hot dipped galvanized for superior corrosion protection. These are not to be confused with an aftermarket chassis. Aftermarket chassis will not have the same level of dimensional accuracy, strength, and are not crash compliant. In fact, all aftermarket chassis are completely hollow on the inside. Only Genuine and OEM Marsland Defender chassis main rails are constructed from two C sections that are reinforced above the axles and suspension outriggers. Each section is also cross-baffled for improved strength and crash worthiness before being welded together. This is why only the Genuine and OEM Marsland chassis main rails are center seam welded. Beyond superior strength and rigidity, this internal reinforcement is engineered to prevent intrusion of the steering column and front radius arms into the occupant area upon frontal impact, protection simply not possible with an aftermarket chassis.
