Thanks guys - to save me going back outside again does anyone know what size the nuts are as i ought to put new ones on
-
I'm planning on fitting my Jak Mac diffs this weekend - what sealant do i need to use when fitting the casing back on, and do i need to bother with the LR paper gasket???
-
Thanks for all the input guys, its most appreciated
-
Yup, pilot drilled and enlarged a few sizes at a time, its fairly thick plate as its a rear crossmember for a winch and could well have suffered local case hardening from the plasma cutting of the "letterbox".
-
I have a Zeus pocket handbook here being an engineer it comes in handy from time to time (altho not much call with sewage work design!) Feed speed is a tricky one, as its all drilled by hand its dependant on position, time of day, time since i ate, tiredness and how fed up i am with drilling holes
-
That makes sence, however i cant fit the d-lander in the garage, let alone the pillar drill!!! I tried to drill some holes for a fairlead last night and it took ages and they were brand new standard HSS bits, so i'm thinking somthing er, better would benefit me as i've got a lot of holes to drill!
-
Thank you kind sir - now back to the drill bits
-
I'm after some decent drill bits, but should i be looking at Cobalt/HSS bits, or TiN (Titanium Nitride) coated bits, or just standard HSS bits. Can anyone reccomend some decent ones that will cut throught anything time and time again? EDIT: Oops, i ment to post this in tools & fabrication
-
You'd be better off using Kevlar for that though
-
A carbon kevlar twill weave has excellent impact resistance and very light weight, all the good properties of both carbon and kevalr mixed together - not overly expensive actually but laying it up requires alot more skill than standard glass to make it strong, ideally vac bagged and autoclaved.

I live in the south west (ish) and dont know any of you!
-
Daft question but does metallic come in cellulose as i can only find places selling 2 pack metallic?
-
Doesnt it also require an oven?
-
I've read mixed reports on SFS so was hoping to source one myself but need to know what to look for!
-
What sort of ram (size etc) do i need for a hydro-assist conversion on a defender based vehicle, also where would i get one from? Thanks
-
Can any of you chaps post a break down of what is needed for hydro assist stearing as i'd like to try it on my d-lander as i'm going to be running 37" tyres and think it would be of benefit
-
I use a mini HVLP gun on my standard compressor, its a 2.5hp twin with 50l tank and does the job nicely (shame my technique is carp) - i dont know how this would compare to a dedicated setup but i do know axminster tools are normally of excellent quality.
-
Nylock nuts by nature of the design shouldnt work loose! Personally i'd replace them with good quality ones if I were you.
-
Thanks Tonk
-
Not quite got the same properties.....
-
I thought it wasnt ment to leave residue or stick to anything but itsself?
-
I need to wrap my D-Lander for its journey home from stockton next week(ish), does anyone knwo where to get those big rolls of industrial slingfilm/shrinkwrap stuff so i can wrap her up nice and snug for the journey?
-
Great entertainment, had me in stitches for half the program
-
Does anyone know what the bolt patten and PCD's are for the above vehicles as i'm looking for new wheels at the moment
-
I also use Hickley Valtone - they have several outlets in the SW Acid 8 does appear to need spraying - i have both sprayed and brushed and the spray finish was 100% perfect, the brush was carp!
