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

You just need smarter Series gauges...
They look nifty John. Easy to do?

Doing nothing is also an option, it's not critical. I believe @Jon White runs full-time 4x4 on Series axles with no problem.
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 😉

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.

Might help your cause if you say "series box" in the title as not everyone knows them as LT76's.
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?

Yipe!
You can buy flex sections in various sizes to cut and weld in. They’re not expensive - must be a cheaper solution

If it’s a standard landrover part swing into Keith gotts in Alton they will almost certainly have one on the shelf.

Why not just omit the half shafts - job done

quite happy with it and air hose seems to be decent quality.

Check the inertia switch - possible it’s got knocked during the repair work and needs resetting.

Why on earth didn’t you go 24spline on the inners?

If anyone remembers Tonk and his Series 2, that had a 2.5NA and 35's and was one of the fastest things on the road

Mine came from China via eBay, and works perfectly. I think it cost about £10. It came with the compression fitting and I just needed to drill and tap the hole.

Get a smaller torque wrench!

“Alternative cubic capacities of the same basic engine and alternative original equipment engines are not considered to be a substantial change.
If the number of cylinders in an engine is different from the original it’s likely to be, but not necessarily, the case that the current engine is not alternative original equipment.”
The 2.5 is the same basic engine as the 2.25. No issue.

I’m sure Nige will post a video shortly of the rebuild 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Breaker bar is all you need. Halfords advances are very good with a lifetime guarantee at a reasonable price (very reasonable price if you’ve access to a trade card)

Why not just buy the Southdown ones if it’s a Southdown snorkel? They work well and are stainless.

What gearbox, what transfer box and what size tyres?

Agree. They always seem to get separated. Learn what the components look like individually and keep your eyes peeled.

Here’s where mine ended up.
