WORKMANSHIP

Built in Our Own Workshop, Start to Finish

Cut and pressed in-house

Every part starts as flat sheet steel. We laser cut it in our own workshop and press it on tooling we make ourselves, so legs, outriggers and footwells come out the same every time. Because we make our own parts, we can improve a detail as soon as we spot it.

Welded on jigs set from an original chassis

Each chassis is built up on a heavy-duty jig set to the measurements of an original, undamaged Land Rover chassis. A chassis rotator puts every weld at the right working height, so both sides get the same care.

Checked, marked and test-fitted

Bulkheads go on an alignment jig before and after galvanising. Every chassis and bulkhead carries an ID mark, so we can trace who built it. New designs are test-fitted on our own Defenders and Series before they go on sale.

Hot-dip galvanised, inside and out

Every chassis and bulkhead goes to a specialist galvaniser and is hot-dip galvanised inside and out for long-lasting rust protection. Then it's backed by our 5 year warranty and 100 day returns.

SHIELDER CHASSIS

Family-Owned. British-Made. Fairly Priced.

Built in our own workshop, sold direct to you.

Shielder Chassis is part of Impact Fabrications, a family steel business founded in 1991. Many of our team own and restore Land Rovers themselves, so we know what a rotten chassis or bulkhead means for a project, and for the budget.

We cut, press, weld and finish everything in Armagh and sell direct, so you deal with the people who build your parts and pay a fair price for them.

More money in your pocket for the rest of your Land Rover restoration.

Engineered with purpose

Our Single-Skin Bulkhead, Designed for Galvanising

The original factory bulkheads were built double skinned. Over the years moisture gets trapped between the layers, especially in the footwells, and rust starts from the inside where you can't see it. A double skin also can't be galvanised properly, because the galvanising can't reach between the layers.

So we redesigned it. Our galvanised bulkhead is single skin and made from thicker 1.5mm steel, so there's nowhere for moisture to hide, the galvanising reaches every surface, and the panels hold their shape in the galvanising bath.

We're the only manufacturer making a single-skin replacement bulkhead. Tried and tested since 2018, with over 4,800 supplied to restorers and garages worldwide, and featured in Land Rover Monthly's step-by-step fitting guide.
