Welcome BB. I managed to find one for my Collie through FB marketplace but beware there are quite a few scammers out there. An alternate that I've used is Nayab Akbar (FB forum 'Toyota LandCruiser Source UK, Ireland and Europe') but can be expensive!
Cheers Bert, that info and photo are really helpful. Guessed there might be some 'other' mods required. Looks like the trusty dremel and a few big tools might be required!
Has anyone used these guys before (N4 Off-Road Parts). I'd like to keep the stock front fender with a winch so this mounting plate would suit and there is a UK distributor.

TBH, I've been getting parts from Nayab Akbar on FB under the Toyota LandCruiser source UK, Ireland & Europe group. Takes a while getting them from shipped to delivery but can source pretty much anything. Parts are shipped to Wolverhampton depot and then internally from there. Provides photos...
I've had a few small gremlins and initially changed the alternator and then upgraded the battery from 75Ah to 100Ah which has helped compensate small losses.
Had odd occasions when the alarm randomly beeps although the engine is running and even beeping when I've stopped the engine and opened...
I recently had two transponder fold away key spares made by Murray Storm (he also new provided keys for my Subaru) and could not get either the keyless entry or ignition sequence to work then remembered my Collie came with two keys. Having swapped over my original keys It looks as though both...
