  1. Are you stitching the canvas yourself or getting a ready made one? Normally I wouldn't ask but you have many talents
  2. Seen on facebook marketplace, not sure which thread this belongs in tbh .....
  3. You need one of those topside creepers, or whatever they are called.
  4. 1600kg, never let it be said I follow the crowd
  5. There's some interesting discussion on the subject here, still not sure what the answer is though.....
  6. It's a variation on the WW2 Parker type beading tool, there are current copies by ATS and Graham Tool. The current versions are four tools (a clamping tool and 3 bead tools), yours handles the different bead profiles by the changeable outer dies, all use the interchangeable inner dies. The new versions are around $500-$600.
  7. BTW that's 1/4" outside diameter! It's a number 4 tool in case you are curious.
  8. That strange looking piece is the beading die for 1/4" diameter tubes apparently.
  9. What is the part in the top right hand corner of the box for? Doesn't look like the mandrels in that row.
  10. Lol, I was referring to Land Rovers work as British car tolerances and yours as the Japanese tolerances, as opposed to your work improving...... hmm that sounds like a slight on you too ..... I think I should stop now
  11. Blimey, we've moved from British car tolerances to Japanese tolerances! Out of curiosity will the chassis flex enough to cause the steering shaft to contact the suspension mount?
  12. Could you add an extra UJ into the mix to get you around the obstacle? You'd need another bearing mount too, but we now don't bat an eyelid when we expect you to do hours of machining off the back of a throw away comment
  13. BTW I'm amazed how well it's turned out, I was expecting it to stretch and distort a lot, but it looks like it's only had a little stretching in the big panel.
  14. So they are for forming the front panel.... and a drinks holder
  15. Looks like it's easily within Land Rover tolerances
  16. Anyone else and I'd be doubtful that would happen, you on the other hand are a bit of a wildcard
  17. Cheers TSD, I'll let you know once we work out what speedo Rich has.
  18. No problem. Are you up to opening it up? Or do you want to send it to me? Can you add photos of the front of the speedo and any labels it has on it?
