Anymore on the thread? I'm interested to see how it's coming along
-
Anymore updates on the thread?
-
I'd be game for whichever as long as there strong but you guys seem to no what your on with so I'm sure they would be
have you got a rough price of what something like what you described would cost? Cheers -
If I brought you a Unimog hub and a Land Rover hub for size Guide also a disc could you do anything with it or design it as I'm pretty clueless with this kinda stuff if I'm honest with you :/
-
Ahh finally it's sounding a lot more positive that my build will actually happen lol
-
I would like new if I'm honest as I'd feel better knowing it was a full unit instead of a bit welded on, but I'm told the broch (if that's how you spell it lol) is expensive what sort of price do you think a new hub would be? Where are you based? Cheers
-
I will try and have something drawn up, have you done them before? If so how did you do it? Like the picture or a cut a new one from scratch? Cheers
-
I don't mind changing the stud pattern as I am wanting them to be strong and safe, the td5 is definitely an option I hadn't thought about if I'm honest, I've spoken to a bloke who does a 5x130 conversion for his own MOGs that he uses in competition but he said they are hard to find rims for, I want it to be right so any options I will definitely listen to

Sorry Vulcan I couldn't see all the replies ... I haven't got any drawings or dimension but I have got pictures of what I want doing.. The pictures are copied from dirty diesel
But I really want to keep the landy stud pattern but worst case I would consider others
I don't have a machinist as yet I was hoping someone on here has done it befor and would be interested in doing it again lol
-
Do any of you lot no anyone that can do it?
-
I'm building my project rover, I intend on fitting my landy wheels but the hub will need machining down to do this, has anyone done this before? How much would it cost? thanks in advance

Hi woody could you inbox me some pictures of yours please
sounds ideal -
Ahh id love to speak to him n see what his prices are like his work looks very good and strong, yes I do agree adrenaline stuff is very good and plenty thick enough
yes Nathan has been a legend, he's helped me with everything I've needed so far including getting the axles, I ow him many beers haha -
I do agree I was gonna plate either side on rear trailing mount with thicker steel and use longer bolts as for the front I haven't looked at that yet :/ rear trailing arm brackets on the axle thickest I've found is 4mm so it looks like I'll after have some made as I want 6mm, strength is my main goal I want to fit n forget with no worries (other than servicing lol) I've not got far as yet the axles and torque tubes are now removed, I plan on buying a bare solid chassis to begin my build which will be within the next few weeks, once this is hear I'll send the axle cases to my mate for the brackets to be welded on, if I'm working with a bare chassis I can pretty much do what ever is needed which would be a lot harder if i was fitting to my disco at present. As for lift kit and springs ... I'm removing all I have and fitting 2" HD springs which will give me 7" of lift, 7" will be about right for my 37" boggers and hopefully enough resistance to stop the axles compressing the springs to much, I will be fitting bump stops but I'll decide on stuff like this once the axles are fitted so I can see what I need and want in travel, the shocks I'll stay with procomp for the minute, I've taken some pictures of the axles which I'll post but not got any further as yet, as I progress I'll keep adding lol I'll measure this diff soon as I get chance to go back in the garage
-
Cheers for your advice fridge freezer, I'm actually using the Unimog shock mounts for my conversion and adrenaline arms front and back with are twice as thick as standard,I agree with the mountings needing to be extra strong that's why I'm not taking on that my self lol, I've messaged dirtydiesel but not heard anything back as yet, luckily the bloke who's giving me heeps of advice has done the conversion a few times so I feel safe in his knowledge and I always check n double check with decisions
on the plus side the rear axle is removed lol -
Hey Doug, updates so far are I've bought the axles lol
I've got a mate who's a welder who's offered to weld me all my brackets on properly for not a lot of money which will put my mind at ease as I wouldn't feel confident doing it my self,
As for the conversion there's a bloke called Nathan who (who I ow a fair few beers to haha) has been helping me source what I need, I'm going for the tranny out of the 83-85 rrc 3 speed it's 1.003 so should be ok
as for the conversion he's just waiting on prices back from a mate of his in Germany for the pinion conversion and hubs to landy so hopefully that's the line we are going for lol, as for the front prop I'm hoping to have a very wide angle one fitted.. If I use a td5 transfer flange they are the same size as patrol prop ends which are very wide angled so hopefully that shouldn't be an issue but worst case I'll move the front axle forward a few inch. I'll keep updating as I get more done, I'm just about to go and remove them from the mog chassis hopefully one day you will have it finished ? -
Hi woody, I can't log in to my Deano account so I've set another up, I've private messaged you, I already have the axles just advice and questions lol
