Have you considered checking the gears for cracks with dye penetrant? NDT Test Kit | Weld Defect Dye Pen Kit | Cleaner, Dye Pen & Developer (tbws.co.uk) Dead easy to use and will give you a much better indication than you can see with eyesight. Ideally you would use fluorescent DPI, the rattle can basic version will do for your task. Adrian

Gazzer, looked at one of those clamshell pullers before and couldn’t quite justify one. what’s your thoughts on them? which one did you buy? apologies for the thread hijack. adrian

It's in the chassis. No one will be able to tell what year the back tub is (85' or 86!) You own all the parts. In the words of Tom Cruse in top gun - 'don't think, do'. Adrian

Nice looking canoe!

And I already watch both those channels! My earlier point is reinforced!

You can tell quite a bit by the utube channels someone watches! There seems to be great commonality among Land Rover enthusiasts. inheritance machining is excellent. I also like cutting edge engineering

Nice effort!

The push bender shown will bend roll cage tube. BUT the tube will flatten slightly. I remember there being an allowable flattening ratio in UK MSA regs. When I made my roll cage with one of those benders I was slightly the worng side of the ratio limit. However the scrutineer was 'helpful' as he liked the quality of the rest of the cage. So it will 'work' and for the reported price above they are good value. But don't assume you will automatically pass formal scrutineering if that is in your plans. Adrian

Nice work!

Superb effort. That’s not a simple job to do right

Looks superb. But I don't like to think about the cost - another thing making cars stupidly expensive to maintain,......

Make it bigger!!!! Planning is not that big an expense (£650 + £500 for your 2 moths extra storage) in the the grand scheme of things. You will never regret it being bigger, but will always curse it being too small for the want of £1150. After that I'd look at insulation, good lighting and security. Depends on what your area is like, but it will look like a nice big target to agricultural thieves. Steel door 6mm thick with reinforced hinges, make sure that the walls don't end at head height so the gits can peal back the metal skin and just climb in, secure storage for your tools (especially the ones the f**kers can use to cut the 6mm door open from the inside). The finish off with an alarm/camera system. Adrian

Corrosion on the cylinder walls? Try using a mini snake camera to have a look through the injector opening.

Once came back from Tom's farm in wales with a loose steering box arm that developed mid event. We stopped every 20 miles or so to re tighten the bugger. Seem to remember not having a big enough socket, so chiseling the nut around on the hard shoulder of the motorway.... Obviously I would not do that these days.....
