Frequently asked questions

What is the Front Bumper Tapping Plate ALQ710040 used for on a Defender?

The ALQ710040 is a reinforced steel backing plate fitted behind the front bumper mounting points on the Defender 90 and 110 (1986-2016, all variants). It distributes the clamping load from the bumper fixing bolts across a larger area of the body structure, preventing the bolts from pulling through or distorting the mounting face.

When does the Bumper Tapping Plate need replacing on a Defender?

The tapping plate typically needs replacing when the bumper mounting threads have stripped or corroded through, or when the plate itself has distorted. This is a common repair on older Defenders where off-road use and corrosion have weakened the bumper mounting area. Fitting a new plate restores a solid thread base for the bumper bolts.

Does ALQ710040 fit the Defender 90 and 110, or just one wheelbase?

It fits all variants of the Defender 90 and 110 from 1986 to 2016, as listed in the fitment data. Cross-references include ALQ710020 and NRC6994. Check whether the older NRC6994 number matches your specific bumper bracket configuration if sourcing for an early model.
