The Chain Bracket Assembly (SKU: 302825) is a structural mounting component that forms part of the Defender's tailgate chain retention system, securing the support chains that hold the rear door open at a horizontal position. Without a correctly fitted bracket, chains can detach, causing the tailgate to drop uncontrolled and risking damage to the door, hinges, or surroundings. Replacing worn or corroded brackets restores safe and reliable tailgate operation. Key Features Designed as a direct replacement bracket assembly for the Defender tailgate chain system Restores correct chain anchor geometry to ensure the tailgate holds level when open Specified to OEM fitment standards for the 1986–2006 Defender body and chassis Inspect both the chain and opposing bracket simultaneously, as wear typically occurs across the full assembly Vehicle Fitment This part fits the Land Rover Defender across all body variants from 1986 to 2006, as part of the tailgate chain retention system.
