You have your main power lead to the winch, the earth for the winch can connect close to the winch it does not need to go back to battery box, I can operate my winch remotely but can also operate with fixed switches from within the cab, the wiring for these switches will need to go back to the winch solenoid to achieve operation regards Stephen

Do you think it would be possible to set up on a lathe and use a tool post grinder to re-surface the seal land and then fit an over size seal ?? regards Stephen

second that regards Stephen

Little green thing regards Stephen

Any more progress with this, need to see more of your exquisite welding regards Stephen

Hmm that's worth remembering regards Stephen

That would have been very decent of you Doug, the flogging spanner I've got I picked up at a vintage fair for only £18 so thankfully it didn't stand me a lot Could have made one if they were silly prices thanks again regards Stephen

Never heard of this, googled and now know what your talking about They are all now VFT thanks to the mell hammer Regards Stephen

Another little job off the list Hub nuts Stage 1 torque wrench Stage 2 torque wrench That's correct, I don't have a torque wrench that goes high enough 750 ft/lbs guesstimate later and locking tabs knocked over, just a wee bit of paint to complete Regards Stephen

What a bloody Donkey I am, note to self make sure I've got glasses on, or preferably leave the answers to the clever people lol Cheers @steve b regards Stephen

As above the only provision would be where you got the parts from, if shipped from the UK then your rear left spring will not take into account driver weight and fuel tank if on the American side, in that instance I would swap the sides regards Stephen

Little bit of a funny story with what you've said there.. One of the fitters where I work was watching me set up the tolerances on my brake discs and calipers, I had stopped for a minute to contemplate my measurements, and he asked me what I was thinking, so I told I may him I may need to add a shim because my measurements were out by 0.2mm.... He looked at me and said " it's a bloody Landrover, an inch would be acceptable " Had to laugh because he was kind of right so I left it as it was and I've had no issues with it Regards Stephen

My immediate answer would be no with nuke spec chassis... But the sensible answer is, I will keep an eye on it and modify it if required, it would be easy enough to take another couple of mm's if needed. There is a lot of strength in that area so flex may be deferred elsewhere, here's hoping anyway Regards Stephen

Yes good to go regards Stephen

Managed to get the steering sorted today so we'll pleased with that Old bracket cut off Steering wheel put into position and seat laid into place to see what's what Steering shaft moved tight up against clutch master cylinder housing You can see the line of the steering New bracket Welded on steering shaft still very close to suspension mount a wee bit of shaping done and back plate pulled into position and Welded up Painted, shaft clears suspension mount by around 2mm Regards Stephen

Congratulations to both of you and all the best for the New year regards Stephen
