ejparrott Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I've started working on The 109 today, repairing the seatbox back to series configuration, refitting red and yellow knobs, putting back the series tunnel. It's not going to be much different, like I said before, you already did exactly what I was thinking, but I'll post up my piccies when I'm done.

ejparrott Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Mikey, when it's convert to 2wd/4wd instead of difflock/open diff, which side is the equivalent to difflock? I need to make sure I make my linkage up so that 2wd is still yellow up and 4wd yellow down! I'm assuming that's how you've set yours up?

discomikey Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 yes, thats how i have mine set up. looking from above, the mechanism (IIRC) rotates clockwise to lock and anticlockwise to unlock (2WD) i had to make my own diff lock cam as the one was missing from the transfer box, however i have fitted it rotated round to almost opposite what it should be if that makes sense, to convert forwards movement to unlocked, and backwards movement to locked. I hope i have made that seem clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yup, I get you, as I thought you had, an perfect too. Means the Ashcroft special bit (currently out of stock) acts to create 2wd in open diff and 4wd in difflock. Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's coming along slowly, got rained off before I could really get started on the 2wd/4wd or open/difflock as mine currently is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 It's finished I'll post some photo's up later 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just a couple of photo's of my version, there's no point me going right through as it isn't that different to Mikey's. I had to do mine in the vehicle which made it harder and more time consuming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twizzle Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 nice job now you got me thinking about ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakem Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Interesting to see that you went this route. Will you be cutting down both prop's? Any concerns for balancing them? Are they original S3 prop's or from another vehicle in the LR stable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 For mine the rear is a shortened 109 prop, the front will need to be lengthened, when I get round to doing the 2wd/4wd conversion on the LT230. I've not noticed any balance issues. Long term I'll likely take them to a prop specialist, or she'll need new ones at some point anyway.

discomikey Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Likewise my rear is a shortened 88" rear prop. I shortened it myself using lathe and welder. Many miles Complete since ann zero signs of prop imbalance even at 80+mph Front will be a standard prop mounted to an intermediate shaft which will attach to the front output via a 300 tdi style rubber donut and be supported by a range rover or discovery 4 rear props haft support bearing.

ejparrott Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Did you manage to get the bit for the LT230 to make it 2wd/4wd? Can't find it on the website at the moment, only as part of the kit and I dont want the defender free wheeling hubs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I had a look too, maybe they can't do it without the hubs anymore? Shame really. Might be worth giving them a ring and asking about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
