plus with this , every time you start driving , it ballances your wheels again 🙂

thanks for your input !

["strange" 110 bulkhead ex MOD 2.5NA 1985]

hello all , 

 

i was stripping the bulkhead from the scottish 110 (ex mod and seems to be 1985)  and noticed some differences with other bulkheads i stripped . 

the flyscreen is welded to the bulkhead , all i have seen (old one's) are riveted in .

 

and a closed off part , other bulkheads i have seen this is open (it's above the footwell, looking up to the windscreen)

 

 

is this MOD special , or some idea to improve on the earlier version's ?

charge your battery , the low voltage make's the relais close and open fast , so you get the buzzing noise ...

mmm i work with Heavy Goods Vehicle's at a Dealer , and we see a lot off hick-ups with can signal's on trucks .... and they are all big diesels ....

i'm not a fan of Can bus technology (way to many faults/hick-ups , even in a OEM envirement) , bit this seems like a decent aproach .

can you make a drawing how the system looks like when in the car ?

One done, one to go. Suffered a bit of distortion welding the bottom flange on. Bowed in the vertical plane even though it was clamped to a beam. I’ll pre stress the next one. I added a few extra fixing points for the floor and seat base (mine would get dirt etc under the edges) turned out ok.

It is clean and no holes fella, a bit of a wire wheel and a washer tacked to that tag should do the job I reckon

can you have a look inside , all i have seen so far are really crusty on the inside (to the point they have almost pinhole's )

the outside on most seems mostly very decent .

Yep, not much help! Says JLB on the seal, google says it's a bearing company...all in chinese tho!

and only a telefonenumber , not even a e-mail adress ....

and my chinese is not so good , so i don't intend calling them 😉

Bearing finally arrived, the dimensions are spot on 22x36mm so the column will need some fettling to get the bearing to fit. No big deal as I got a lathe, but I think a good rub with a sandpaper will work just as well.

The bearing came in a plastic bag with some chinese letters, no brand name. On the seal I can read 61904RZ  JLB which could be a part no. However a google search gave me a bearing 20x37x9mm which it is surely not!

using google translate , the chinese caracters say :  " bearing" so not much use ....

it is , it seems it just turned out to be the right size for drilling as well 

 

(a very long time ago they teached me to be a certified metal worker , and nobody ever mentioned this in school ... we just used charts to look up the right size to drill )

If you are struggling to find one, maybe you could make one from some copper pipe, using your old one as a template for the bends, held in place with clips? 

thought about that , but not sure i can get the bends close enough to fit (a "normal" pipe bender needs a fair bit of room between bends).

But no mounting tabs on it. 

Have a look on ebay as well. 

yes , i found these but i have to e-mail them to find out if they really stock them (it say's "Equivalent to ERR371" , to me that means there not Land-Rover)

if they do it might be a good alternative

[200TDI waterpipe ERR371]

hello all , 

 

does anybody know if you can use the waterpipe from the 300tdi (https://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/err6197-rigid-coolant-pipe-300-tdi.html) , or doesn't it fit behind/under the Turbo ?

engine is a Defender spec so has the high turbo , the water pipe i need is ERR371 , this has a big curve in it to clear the turbo , but is no longer availeble.

the one i have is very rusted inside and has a mounting tab broken off (seems a standard isseu with these)

this is the one i need : https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-ERR371
