Gearbox crossmember - how to remove?
Sigi_H replied to Junglie's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
This is indeed the most dangerous situation, when the machanism is switched downways and you slip of the lever. The Jack will work then like a Cuckoo clock which is powered by weight. The weight of the car will power the Jack and the lever will jump up and down like a balance wheel in a watch. Can hurt. -

Only for people for whom a car is already too dangerous 😉 If you understand how it really works and keep it clean, then it is a very universal tool. -
Universal electrics for old cars
Sigi_H replied to Sigi_H's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
Thank you all. As you can imagine beeing a patient and having patience are to completely different worlds. Everything is to slow ... Hopefully my brain is still working. I try to figure out some theoretical things. At least it can still speak a little English -

Sorry, I suffered a stroke and I am in hospital. This may take a while. The project has to wait. -
I removed the bowl completely, made a M8 fixed mounting point and used PG7 cable entries for adjusting. They are perfect for turning and clamping the adjustment screws. The holes for PG7 and the M8 fixpoint had to be widened a bit, thats all.

My original ones (MY83) were closed buckets made of sheet metal. I replaced them completely with motorbike LEDs because the visual impression of the front was closest to the H4s.

I completely agree with Snagger, since I am alone quite often. A winch offers some kind of safety. I used MT tyres for many years, they worked good as well, but I was many years on loud tyres and I really needed them only twice. I now use silent AT tyres and have a winch, which offers the same safety in my eyes, when I am alone. One restriction, however, is that there must be a way of attaching the cable, regardless of whether it is at the front or rear. I now have a ground anchor to attach it in every case.

Just like these safety belt in cars 😉 It would help safety a lot better if there was a sharp blade comming right out of the steering column in every car.

Defender fuel tank leaks - better replacement yet?
Sigi_H replied to roamingyak's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Just brainstorming ... Another idea with a new tank is to solder the connection of the baffles with a tin solder. Only possible with new tanks and the possibility to get inside with a soldering iron good enough or with a small burner. The connection of the baffles will be much stronger then. -

Sigi_H replied to roamingyak's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Both will interfere with the fuel sender. Since working fuel tanks are no rocket sience ... why not having one made in africa with more solid baffles or no baffles? Shouldn´t be to expensive and can save problems for ever and store more fuel. -
there is nothing more durable than a well-functioning temporary solution 👍
