    Door pillar question

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    It's the same as most of their sections.... I would recommend finding a reference point such as a mounting hole on both and cut both pieces square relative to that point

    I had the same issue with their C pillar repair sections, the length doesn't make any sense, still works, just a bit odd!

    200tdi Aircon Bracket Dimensions

    in Tools and Fabrication

    Posted

    Hi everyone!

    Could do with some help, fitting a sanden compressor to my 200tdi and want to fabricate up the 2 brackets (ETC8852 and ETC8853) as buying them will be many monies!

    Should be able to weld them up pretty easily but could do with some dimensions :)

    Could someone kind, who has the 2 brackets (aircon compressor timing chest bracket, and the fuel pump cover tensioner bracket) grab some dimensions for me?

    Looking for 2 dimensions, the diameter of the tensioner mounting stub and the distance from the timing chest M10 holes to the front of the standard bracket (so I know how far forward to mount the compressor)

    If anyone could help that would be fantastic :)

    Cheers,

    Adam

    Would you re-chassis

    Is there a general consensus on who's chassis are best I looked at prices and they were roughly the same

    For me I went Marslands, primarily because they stock the chassis. Richards and Designa have between 5 and 10 weeks leadtime...really in this age, that's just terrible management and they need to up their game. The marsland chassis is a nice bit of kit, few minor upgrades and no crazy jacking apart of the chassis for the crossmember...it just fits :)

    Cost wise... For all the chassis, bolts, suspension bits (chassis, new shocks and springs, turrets, mounts, seals and hundreds of bolts) I have spent nearly £2100 on rolling chassis related parts

    I was about to do a similar thing, got as far as stripping the body panels and notice the chassis was ruined along the top edges, the bits you can't normally see.! So bit the bullet and changed the chassis.

    Removing the bulkhead you need to remove the bonnet, wings and roof anyway, so really with your changes you are more than half way there! Removing the bulkhead is the only difficult bodywork part anyway.

    Saying all that, if the patches are in minor areas...then it may not be worth it

    Warn 9000 Solenoid problem

    in International Forum

    Posted

    Hey,

    Having a little trouble with a WARN XD9000 winch, when you go to turn it on sometimes it works straight away, other times there is a long delay then it will power up, or it won't at all.

    The winch and motor have been rebuilt recently and they are both fine, I have powered each solenoid independently and they switch as they should when activated.

    Has anyone heard of this problem?

    Thanks

    Adam
