I've got a 12 volt to various up to 24 volt converter to run my laptop etc. at 18 volts.
Got it from Maplins, you need to know your power requirement but it may work.
Nige was in Challenger 4x4 yesterday, he is building a 90 with NOR tube etc.
Paul has fitted the lights as yours but put the front plate on with holes for the lights and colour coded as well.
Might be worth a thought as it will give even more protection especially for the side lights and indicators.
Pedal box servo etc drops straight into a lightweight.
Some servos are bigger and foul the bonnet so be aware of that.
I found that I needed a 90 servo and master cylinder to make discs work properly on a series.
I agree with Fridge, I've done it as has Jon White.
Easy if you know how but not simple to work out from scratch.
You need a lathe or mill or both and the right bits.
Search is your friend.

We generally ban chains for recovery.
Only use for me is to attach your winch vehicle to a tree or similar but we always use a wide strop for this to avoid tree damage as much as possible.

Hope this helps
My brother has just got a 90, drum rear brakes G reg.
I've suggested disc brakes on the rear and can get a disco axle.
Will the axle casing be the same, i.e. just change the ends or is it a complete axle swap.
I know probably not much in it for time but am interested.
I'll be there as Chief Scrut again.
Slab is OK but I understand we have some extra areas this year so it may be more interesting.
Will be marshalling and recovery as well.
The one I've seen is a modified AC Pump clutch through rubber couplings and bolted to the crank pulley and then to the capstan.
Works well and seems very reliable.
I've also seen it done with an electric clutch as on an AC pump.
Brilliant for on off as you just have a switch or two one in one out.
A friend runs a capstan this way.

Fit Paddocks Parabolic springs, I've had them and they were fine on my Lightweight.
If Paddocks is local go take a look at a crossmember, if you think its OK then buy based on that.
I've just put a galvanised rear crossmember on the 90 so shouldn't get any more problems there.
