Great information snagger, thank you. When you refer to minimum height saddles, do you mean you managed to clear the track rod when using standard shackles and not 1 ton shackles?
I've just stumbled across this post, which I find quite interesting with my current plans. Snagger, did you go for leaf sprung coiler axles ? And if so how did you get on with the front axle concerns?
Does anyone know the difference in height of the spring mounting holes on a 1 ton as opposed to a standard chassis? I'm asking in advance of my build, to enable me to draw up laser cuts ready. I want to do twin mounting holes like what Richards offer , but my chassis requires quite a few other mods 🙂
FridgeFreezer, Have you got any photo's inside your rear tub when the build was complete? And have you got any photo's / details of the rear Volvo lower mounts?
When using the standard engine position, an LT77 and an LT230, does anyone know the front propshaft length? And does anyone know the length of a Disco 1 V8 with cat (skinny Prop) length? I'm trying to develop a kit which enables the conversion and lets you run a standard chassis. Any ideas are welcome....
That's worth knowing!
Someone told me that you can swap the actuator and use the standard tsi item with a bit of fettling. Not sure if this has even been done to prove the theory though
So, has anyone ever successfully done this conversation using a 2052v? I like the idea of it for mine, but if controlling it is virtually impossible then there isn't much point in the effort?
Does anyone happen to know the part number of that skinny prop? I was thinking of using a double cardon with a small spacer to try and dodge cutting the crossmember for my front prop from the LT77 / Series Transfer. . . If anyone knows something that works on it without modding the chassis please shout :-)
