Future-proofing for Land Rovers that deserve the best!

Richards Chassis has been at the forefront of replacement Land Rover chassis manufacturing since the company was formed in 1984. All of our chassis are manufactured in the UK at our own factory near the ‘steel city’ of Sheffield, using locally sourced parts and materials. Over the years we have gathered a huge amount of knowledge and experience, which has helped us to become the largest manufacturer of aftermarket Land Rover chassis.

We are constantly investing in improving our processes and products – in the last few years we have completely redesigned and rebuilt all of our main assembly jigs and manipulators, and have installed a new fibre laser with a 4m bed. This investment has enabled us to improve both product quality and productivity, allowing us to manufacture up to 50 chassis each week.

We manufacture a very wide range of chassis, from the very earliest Series Ones to the last of line Defenders, as well as Series 2a/2b Forward Controls and Discovery 2. With our newly revised jigs we also have the ability to fully jig certain ‘custom’ chassis, such as 6x6, and winch challenge chassis, and are happy to work with our customers to develop other bespoke chassis, for example for Land Rover based electric vehicle builds.

We are currently developing a jig to allow us to build Range Rover Classic and Discovery 1 chassis, and expect to be able to offer these later in the year.

Our most popular chassis are generally available from stock for immediate collection, and interest free credit is available, subject to conditions.

We ship our products worldwide, and within mainland Britain we have our own dedicated compact delivery trucks fitted with offloading cranes that allow us to deliver to even remote locations safely.

After over two years of press tool development working in conjunction with DDS Metal Services we are now producing bulkheads for Defenders, which we believe are the best on the market. Utilising properly pressed panels has allowed us to replicate the feature of the original parts, making fitting much less time consuming. We are currently producing bulkheads for Defender 2.5NA/TD, 200tdi, 300tdi and Td5 with further variants coming soon.

These are offered in either galvanised or E-coat finish; E-coating is a electrostatically assisted dip paint process which provides a smooth surface and full coverage inside and out, without causing the slight rippling which happens during galvanising.

“I want to thank you For the Chassis you have built for me. I am delighted with it. It is a firm foundation on which to build my dream Series 3. I am impressed with the quality of your work. It clearly embodies a passion for Land Rovers that inspires me to continue the build with the same passion.”

John David Brown, private customer

“It’s that good we’re thinking of adding one to the workshop wall to show folk the quality and attention to detail”

“We are proud to work with Richards and still use their superb chassis’ to this day on tow cars, show cars and on some of our race cars. They are simply the best Land Rover chassis money can buy.”
