save yourself the agro, a lt77 is worth fitting but leave it connected to the lt230, i now run a 230 and bought the rwd kit from ashcrofts
-
theres a 1/2 inch square hole in the plate that will accept a wrench, much easier than a pry bar.
-
its a ser3 dash for sure has it got syncro on 1st and 2nd gears? have u got a pic of windscreen mounts? the whole bulkhead could've been changed to a ser3 one. there are differences in the chassis between the 2 aswell.

Tonk replied to Hybrid_From_Hell's topic in International Forum
i cant believe that a bloke with a bigger cheque book as u hasn't already got one. -
i really should learn to read posts properly outer panels i bought from craddocks, they will post too, but check they have them in stock or u could be waiting a long time craddocks
-
i thought o/drives only whine when engaged? i've never had one but been in one and that only whined when it was engaged. series t/box can whine especially when they get on in life a bit

Allen, welcome to the forum, u'll find alot of info on here to help with the greasy bits as and when they need doing
-
i've used paddocks ones before and they were fine, about a tenner each to
-
i bought a pair from here they are moulded plastic rather than the thick cardboard type stuff that lr made them from, so i think they'll stay better for longer. they weren't a bad fit for aftermarket panels either, especially at that price.

Keeping plasma on the winch drum...
Tonk replied to Milemarker Type S's topic in Tools and Fabrication
i've welded a bar from drum to endplate of drum then just spliced the rope round the bar -
if u're stripping off the front of the motor for better access, can u not weld a bolt to the head of the round off one to undo it?
-
yes, also fitted to late ser3 swb with servo.
-
thats the way i always do it, be sure to remove the seam on the inside of the tube before reassembly
-
ashcrofts do this stuff, i've never used it but ashcroft do know wot they're talkin about
-
what size tube are you cutting? if its got to be perfect can you not face it off on a lathe afterwards?
-
i've run blacks and greens, greens definitely have more bite once upto temp
-
propshaft clinic normally make them and deliver within a couple of days saunders in cadnam can definitely balance props and i'm fairly certain they will alter props to suit.
-
use a torque wrench. 18 lb/ft is not alot. personally i always use just a smear of rtv on w/pump gaskets.
-
twizzlw, take the rubber boots off your shocks, they trap mud under them,
-
u could put spacers in but for that amount i'd make up some new props the right length
-
zeus studs are fine, they are about 15mm longer than standard. to remove and replace just used a flypress or vice to press them out and back in
-
its not the best of material, it probably didn't help that it was so ingrained with dirt etc. personally i think its a nicer way of doing it rather thamn a very thin collar, but obviously u need to be able to weld ali and then machine it out afterwards

i'd keep a close eye on prop angles too, yoke binding etc
