After well hardened, give the Waxoyl can a good shake and apply/use the whole of that 5 litres on a warm day using a compressor and spray lance drawing straight from the can. You can direct the nozzle of the lance through all those nice large holes and from each direction several times to ensure a complete coverage of every nook and cranny throughout the inside of the whole of the entire chassis. Don't be tempted to thin the Waxoyl, if too thick place the can in a bucket of hot water to thin it.
As you have gone this far, you will probably finish off the underside of the vehicle by applying 4-5 litres of Panel Guard for undersealing the floor pans and inside the wheel arches.

Recovery Points

So now that you know you have a jolly good strong rustfree chassis, you can set about fitting the various towing and recovery points.

Series Land Rovers - Front

Bumper 'D' Rings are the order of the day for the front. Always fit in pairs so you can use a bridle. They fit by using the chassis dumb iron bolts plus two short 40mm set screws through the bumper. If your vehicle is either a 'Lightweight' or 101 Land Rover don't be tempted to use the lifting eyes as recovery points. You could tear the two bolts out of the chassis thought the lever action - especially on a 'Lightweight'.

Land Rover coil sprung 90, 110 and 130 - Front.

Don't rely on the pear shaped lashing eyes for recovery work, these are designed to simply lash the vehicle down on to either a vehicle transporter or on board a ship. Use only Jate Rings which wrap round the chassis with special long 8.8 BZP bolts, picking up the two ends on the full diameter of the bolt shank.
