    I am including a 6" flexi pipe into the system on the down pipe just after the first bend this should help with all the vibration. I am tempted to include a slip joint now you've mentioned it Daan more towards the rear of the system. also do you have a picture of where the exhaust passes between the body and chassis. hoping i will get the down pipe welded to a stage that it will be complete as far as the transfer box this week so i will upload a picture of it then.

    I've just had a look at yours daan you've done the same as what I was thinking at going through the wheel arch instead of over the axle

    A v band is a machined ring thats welded on the end of each pipe the two mating surface are flat with a locating ring on one and a recess on the other. On the outer surface is either a 20 or 25 degree slope I can't remember off the top of my head and there is a clamp that tightens up around the outside and pushes the two rings together have a look on the bay of e for exhaust v bands that might clear it up a bit

    I bought a Salisbury td5 disk brakes axle earlier this year for 150 quid on eBay came complete didn't seem to have much wear on it but I've stripped it painted it new bearings and brakes. Probably 400 quid all in

    I've decided on 2.5" and possibly moving to 3" for the rear section as I have made up a nice fancy 3" tailpipe and Yeh I've been thinking v bands but wanted to hear people's thoughts on bolted flanges first before making two sets up

    for a while now I've been wanting to start my custom exhaust build for my 300tdi 110, so a couple of weeks ago i finally made a start to the entire system, machined a flange to suit the turbo and had the first straight welded on. This weekend i want to get my old pipes off and start fitting the first few bits up so i can finish the front pipe. what i cant decide on is what type flange to use to join the sections of pipes together, the options are: - 3 bolt flange - 2 bolt flange - slip joint with connecting tags - v band rings reason for these 4 styles is these are the 4 options that i can easily make up, just wanted to get other peoples opinions on which one would be the best option. cheers, Kierran.

    Got the disks today and they are the correct ones looks like I have a non abs td5 rear axle
  8. Kierran.M.110
    I'll see on Monday when they arrive hopefully they will and I can start getting the axle on and the landy back on the road

    Yeh I knew the serial number was there had a look yesterday can't see anything it has been sandblasted and repainted so maybe that's covered it
  10. Kierran.M.110
    Just had a look at the axle I cannot see the series number on it can see other numbers but nothing that resembles an axle code, I think I may just have to order the second set of disks and keep the others as spares
  11. Kierran.M.110
    I thought it was a 300tdi axle hence why I ordered the disks I did
  12. Kierran.M.110
    Right sounds like I have ordered wrong The axle I have has no abs and is the smaller hat type meaning it was a td5 axle
  13. Kierran.M.110
    these disks look like the unvented fronts and yes the caliper mounts to two lugs with tapped holes on the axle casing
  14. Kierran.M.110
    Just checked the disks I got are ftc 3846
  15. Kierran.M.110
    I can't remember if my calipers are Bolt on directly or on a carrier seems strange to me that lr would have changed the disks so.many times they'd be more likely to use the same disks for 3/4 different vehicles rather than 3/4 disks for one vehicle
  16. Kierran.M.110
    That's what I was thinking but the seller has told me they changed disks three times on the Salisbury axle and I've ordered the wrong ones which seems strange to me also they were described as Salisbury rear axle brake disks
  17. Kierran.M.110
    Hi would any body be able to tell me the difference between rear brake disks from 110 300tdi and a 110 td5 as I have bought a set of disks for my replacement Salisbury disk axle and they are the wrong ones and the seller is telling me I've ordered the wrong ones, just want to make sure as they look like front disks to me. Any pics would be great

    i started my apprenticeship as fabricator and after a while a chance in the company allowed me to change to cnc machining and still do a bit of welding from time to time, i use a combination of two masks, this mask auto darkening mask for tacking, fitting up http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bolle-Fusion-Welding-Helmet-FUSV-New-and-unused-/332211757954?hash=item4d595d2382:g:BYAAAOSwdGFYwEsF then this standard wide view mask for actually fully welding the work piece http://www.r-techwelding.co.uk/phantom-passive-flip-front-static-welding-helmet/

    I made a stainless straight through with glass packing and some semi circle shaped gates almost in the pipe for a friends series v8 that sound nice even though it's badly tuned atm, talking with the design engineer at work he said that the petrol engines need some back pressure hence tha semi circle gates
  20. Kierran.M.110
    Hmmm seems like it's 50/50 here aswell, the 110 is no longer going to be my daily driver that's what my little golf is for the Landy is for work/play at the weekends and maybe the odd trip to work every now and again
  21. Kierran.M.110
    I've had a quick search on the forum but can't really find the answer I'm looking for so here goes, I'm rebuilding a Salisbury rear axle with disk brakes to replace my drum braked unit with a broken diff, in your opinions yay or nay to the brake disks guards some people I speak to says yes others say no . Thought this might be a worthy forum topic.
  22. Kierran.M.110
    cheers for that id never heard of britcar before i'll have a browse through that now .
  23. Kierran.M.110
    Just wondering what part suppliers are out there that don't insist on sending out b***part stuff as I just don't want to use them again I know eBay is quite good as you can pick through to find other manufacturers but I need a selection of parts and would like to do it in one order really , cheers in advance
  24. Kierran.M.110
    Nice thread revival, I can't believe how much you you've got crammed in there
  25. Kierran.M.110
