Mantec back in business?

[Sandyneck4x4]

The RN site now lists a brand new mantec skid plate for $729….Is mantec uk back in business with new production, what about the snorkels and cool CT stuff?

 

[Z.G]

Negative, they are not. It's still roughly in the same hands, but a very limited selection compared to their formal product selection. Think of it as "Mantec lite"

I assume LR parts is just reselling from Mantec(now ISG)

Defender 300tdi raised air intake? Same design as CT metal ones?

I hadnt seen the wheel spacers, but they did send us an email to see if we were interested in the sill plates. No interest in those on our end, we told them we'd be happy to offer their sliders if they reintroduced those

Same as G4, not the CT version

Can you explain this a bit? Would this give me the necessary bits to mount the carrier on my 3-door 110 with the drop-down tailgate?

It's for swing away doors only. It creates a flat surface to mount the carrier to, and then converts the upper bracket to allow the soft top to drop down into
