PS You probably already thought of this but you'll need to box in the rear of the lock mechanism to stop it being released by poking a screwdriver/wire in the side to release the pawl.
EDIT: actually it looks like the prototype has one drawn on... sorry I had missed that
-
Whilst the gaffer tape is nicely sealing the drawn on hinges from muck off the bottom of shoes etc on this prototype, do you envisage any issues with the hinges on later prototypes/production given how wet/mucky that area gets on most defenders?
I'm really liking the idea and will be one of your first customers should you go into production.
One other point ... will there be anything to stop the top hingy bit flapping forward whilst driving and hitting your ankles?
Keep up the good work

Staples would speed up the manufacturing process.....

Mind you don't tear the cardboard though Ed
Seriously though it sounds like a brilliant idea

There seemed to be a consensus a while back that none of the non sprayed etch primers were any good and you should use a sprayed one, of course I can't remember anything else about the thread now so have no chance of searching for it

Did Chris manage to get there in the end after breaking down on the M4?

Strange works for me.

Isn't the fuse supposed to be a 30 amp for a TD5 heated screen?
Edit: Just checked the circuit diagram and it shows 30amp for the screen on the 2002MY
-
Good luck and I hope you don't need all your spares
-
is there any way with a TD5 clock that you can adjust what it says i.e. when it says im doing 50, im doing 63... can i make it say 63?
CwazyWabbit would be the man to ask, see this - http://forums.lr4x4....l=&fromsearch=1

It's possible to reprogram the internal memory chip to change the pulses per mile. PM me if you want me to do it for you, or all the details are in the thread Paul linked to if you fancy a go

Now that's a nice fix
I fixed an induction motor (off a bandsaw) the other day, that had a thermal fuse strapped to the windings which had blown.
Does this have a thermal fuse as well?
-
I suppose boring and sleeving might get around it ..... but not really something to try on a customers diff as unproven and your time may well make it uneconomical anyway.
-
Good point! I obviously didn't think that one through
-
Could the oval holes be bored out for larger bolts? Or would that weaken it too much?
-
With it being on the app store you should be able to get an ipod touch and install it over a wireless connection, no hacking or phone contract required. At least that is my understanding of the situation. I'll await adult supervision now.....

Looking forward to seeing the cross member mods
-
It does blend in well ... if you excuse the fact it is clean in comparison to the rest of it
What are the plans for the rear cross member? is it strengthening to support the two down pipes from the roll cage?
-
ah!! got you. so theoretically it should be stronger?
That would depend on many things, the material of the filler rod used, what grade steel the shaft is made of, how the shaft was originally heat treated.... and of course what has welding done to the original heat treatment...... also was the whole shaft heat treated after welding (the rust pattern suggests it wasn't).
Tbh the fact it is still in one piece suggests the original modifier didn't do too bad

There is a 200tdi defender engine for sale on the forum http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=71991&view=findpost&p=614539

No worries Mike
It's not my work, belongs to user Repair My Landrover I just remembered it. Those top hat repair sections look simple enough to bend up, I look forward to seeing your work .... Take plenty of pictures for us! -

Always nice to see good news

.... and the longer you have managed to not get it nicked!

ive used them for about 1.5 years, in which time ive done a few RTV's, general road driving, and farm driving. the conversion was done by the previous owner and he was running the conversion for at least 5 years, using it on the road, at pay and plays, and also LRO off roading trips etc. so they havnt had an easy time, but have coped so far!
Sounds like they have been well tested
Top marks to the welder!

Nice, I knew you would have thought of these possible problems and had solutions
The gaffer tape must have been hiding the stainless hinge pin
