They have them made by GB engineering

All made by the same company

Ah yes sorry - I was slightly wrong. I knew the late ones were different but I incorrectly assumed they were the same bearings. im aware that the late ones and the coiled ones all use the same seal, and I’ve used the proper tool as a friend has one. I always found the leather seals much better on early hubs rather then the modern lipped seals.

Should be in front of the axle. Position it so that the drop arm ends up in the same line as the original would have been. here is mine.

I was only talking Steering box. You could probably make the disco column work if you wanted to, just most people use a defender one as it bolts straight on.

Early s2 hubs can easily be identified by the smaller BSF wheel studs. Later ones use the same metric wheel studs as series3 (27mm socket for the wheel nuts), and are to all intents the same as series3 ones. Late series 3 changed slightly as they used the same inner and outer bearing (earlier ones the outer bearing is smaller), but the inner bearing and the seal are both identical.

it’s the same series manual you have got just further on in it. Pages 60-10 and 60-11.

point 16 gives the measurement.

Either can be made to work, but the P38 setup is nicer and requires less hacking of the chassis.
-
Cough, RTFM it’s written in there! 🤣
-
You aren’t installing the hub seals correctly. They should not be installed flush, they should be 4.8-5.3mm recessed into the housing.
-
Yes I have that kit with that switch. The two sides operate independently. Its more than just a switch however as there are bicolour leds in there, plus illumination. Each switch is a momentary, so multiple pushes cycle through off/high/low
-
Not an electric one, no, but the cheapo air Schutz guns do an adequate job. IMHO they work better when the air pressure is regulated down however.
-
I’d guess it would just about sit behind a series front end, looking at where the mounting holes on the chassis for the original front panel are
-
I run a defender front end
-
Here’s where mine ended up.

Just noticed the April one has been postponed until 16th August - just in case anyone was making plans.

2.5 petrol rebuild and conversion to EFI thread?
Jon White replied to Gazzar's topic in Series Forum
They look nifty John. Easy to do? -
Yes. Ran them for more than ten years. No issues other than slight click back through the steering on full lock, which I can easily live with. i have now converted to CVs and custom HD shafts, but only for reasons of shaft strength. No series shafts stand up to 35” tyres and diff lockers.

Only five hammers? 😱

I have P38 steering on my series Nigel 😉 -
Series 2 V8 Lowering blocks on parabolics?
Jon White replied to SlickV8's topic in Modified Vehicle Builds & Special Projects
Scallop the crossmember for clearance like the military ones. That’s the usual way to do it. -

Zeus seal kit. Works well as it puts the seal against a different part of the shaft so works around the worn shaft. I had one in mine for years before I did the P38 conversion. -
Can’t find a Series gearbox anywhere...
Jon White replied to Keeper96's topic in International Forum
Agree completely! I actually thought he’d made a typo and wanted an LT77. Almost nobody calls them an LT76 and most people will have no clue what you’re asking for. Ask for a series 3 gearbox and you’ll be on to a winner. They are **** though, they break way too easily. I gave up with them years ago - how about just going for an upgrade?
