A very quick and very rough spare wheel mount knocked up this morning At some point I will make a swing away mount attached to the rear cross member So one butchered disco spare wheel mount Regards Stephen

Ha ha, no taking it on a trailer Regards Stephen

So barring packing, loading tools etc I'm good to go for summer sisters, no temp gauge as yet, but I know a few people who will be rolling around laughing at my wiring.... Regards Stephen

Air lockers piped in funny one with the lockers, could not understand why the indication lights were on when they were supposed to be off, after about half an hour of sheer frustration I twigged, bloody sun was shining on them in the off position and looked like they were on...... regards Stephen

An easy but essential installation lol regards Stephen

Washer wiring sorted, washer bottle and air filter now fitted and plumbed in, it's all a tad compact... regards Stephen

On the electrical front, new indicator, lights and horn switch wired in, brake lights now working, horn and washers wired in and working......temp and fuel gauges not as yet Regards Stephen

Not for me, however, if that looking forward coincides with summer sisters....well......... Regards Stephen

Bloody comedian........lol Regards Stephen

Some new bits and pieces to sort this morning regards Stephen

Rear mudguard sorted after my impetuous mistake the other day Just enough rubber left Off with the not so old, high lift helping, also lifts enough to change springs, no trees needed... sorted regards Stephen

Tut tut, wasting valuable mog axle hybrid time............lol Regards Stephen

Sid's not going to get dirty........is he........didn't realise that... Regards Stephen

Bow down to me you mere mortals, for I am an electrical god.......... Well genius level for me Indicators now working Regards Stephen

Good grief !!!!! I'm astounded... Regards Stephen

Just to keep @Bowie69 happy been wiring my lockers in, it's not the tidiest as I've moved from original position, but after a bit of head scratching I've sussed it out, working now although not piped in yet Mess of wires Tesa taping heavy duty power cables better but not great head hurting now.... regards Stephen

Just been to see about getting them plastic coated but guy got full books until end of August Regards Stephen

What was that about wiring avoidance..... regards Stephen

Handbrake sorted Hole for cable D1 handbrake lever with added foot Cable clamp plate Sorted Regards Stephen

A good sturdy tree branch will do, front and rear winches for lifting, ask me how I know........... Regards Stephen

Hadn't planned on it, they need a good clean up, however if I have room I might bring them, it's not like I need to pack spring compressors is it....... Regards Stephen

This is what happened ^^^^ If you remember I had a few issues with fitting the engine and box due to physical size of front diff and axle, engine could not be moved far enough over to the left, the problem was cured with fitting extended bump stops and extensions. Probably a compromise in hindsight, realistically I lack the offroad knowledge involved with building a good off road vehicle, most of my build has been a gut feeling that it feels right and obviously excellent contributions and advice from your good selves. If lack of uphill travel becomes an issue, I will as mentioned previously, try the +2" springs first. Lack of uphill travel or not this is just a toy, if it was a competition vehicle it would be a different matter The proof of the pudding will be at Summer Sisters, who knows, it may fall apart, the welded diffs might give way or I might get over a few obstacles with ease and have no breakages, one thing for sure we will find out this month if it is capable of not, if it is the latter then it will be back to the drawing board....lol Regards Stephen

Every day's a school day, will sort it out today Regards Stephen

At the moment I'm running 1" lower than standard springs, I may put the original + 2" back in at some point, this will push the bump stop back up, not sure as yet, need to see what it's like offroad, I guess it's still a work in progress Regards Stephen

Good question, probably not, have had good flex in the past but not like this, it won't do too many road miles so not overly worried about body roll although I'm hoping that will have been reduced with a totally non steel body Regards Stephen
