the ones posted by night train... then again the college internet is probs blocking them...ill try again at 8pm i this what you were talking about?

just a thought.... again... lol if you get three rear axles... make one a 1:1 drive ratio and then shorten the other two axles, weld the diffs and put 90degree boxes on either end with a 90 drum brake on each and then bolt one diff on each output of the first axle... might work if the first axle was a van one and the other two were landy ones also it wont lemme see you pics

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/linnhoff-motor-grade...3A1%7C294%3A200 this the kind of grader?

just a thought right... if the diff had a 1:1 ratio and a small casing then the 3.54:1 ratio of the Defender diffs was in the walking beam part? also if the pivot point was an inch or two below the level of the wheel hubs then it wouldnt want to kick up at all and the clearance would still be there due to the smaller diff casing now would a rear axle off an LDV on dualies do the trick you think? also 40" between the wheel hubs should be enough for a land rover because then you could easily fit 38s all round do you think you could do a sketch in paint of an ideal axle? also what kind of grader would have an axle of a suitable size for a landy?

thanks Bill very helpful as usual... if the chain was tensioned like a tak track i assume that that would work? i dont quite understand the first bit about the hub? im guessin you have a collar on the end of the axle and a bearing with the beam on then have a sprocket/gear to provide drive? am i anywhere near? ive read alot but never done the practical side much tbh... except the defender front axle and fanbelt on my td5

hmm yea i suppose it would make things alot more difficult if you got things wrong but on the off chance it worked well then you would have an ultra capable truck would a chain drive be the best way to do it? how do you make the pivot system for the beam?

im interested in the operatings too but it would be nice to have built just out of curiousity... but cost would probs be prohibitive... what about an axle set? so both axles have the same diff ratio but the front has a portal/sun ring (cant rememeber proper name) reduction then you wouldnt need the hardend shafts and you would have a pretty bombproof and flexy set of axles with the benefit of 6 wheel drive too

small world eh? that tescos looks a mess haha anyway back on topic... do you think the LR axle casing could take the stresses of a built in swinging beam? also how do you think you could build a swinging beam axle set up using a coiler axle? imagine a 90 with a swinging beam set up also why is the 2:1 reduction nessacary for the swinging beam? is it to keep the four wheels planted? hmmm how about a collaborative lr4x4 project to make these axles?

think ive seen it around... it was a wrecker wasnt it? im in ellesmere at the mo though its college for the week

hmmm scammelly goodness i was allways fasinated by the huge beasts when i was a lilun...now im nt much older im still mad on them...

sounds like if you made a custom rear axle with the walking beam as an integral part you could have an easy to do 6x6 conversion... that would be ace offroad

nice truck very interesting... bit tatty round the edges but a lick of paint would make her a gdn

anybody got pics of this? im interested in the suspension system and just curious

o fair enough

i thought that vans didnt come under that restriction? i thought it was over 7.5 ton all up weight?

yeap N1 tax band and VAT can be reclaimed too

my 52 plate van is 185 a year so is mums pickup... her old izusu (01) has now been taxed off the road i think

110 xs utility wagon anybody? N1 tax band and you could put seats in the back... the poor sods will just have to suffer...

updates?

hate to bring up an old topic but i would love more info on a vgt turbo if anybodys got any also the defender wastegate it controlled by vacuum and the disco one is electronic... it you hooked it up like the normal wastegate surely it will work?

and here is the PTO to fit to your series... o erm... well thats not meant to be here...*tucks back into pocket* lol

good point... forums are fantastic when they dont have too many rescritions... some of the gaming servers you cant even scratch you own ar53 while sat at the computer without being told off by admin lol i think the main gripe about magazines is that theyre supposed to be a worthwhile suppliment to our hobby and passion yet they do have some awful drizzle in them...

LRO did this a while back using other rover and classic car bits n bobs... i think the reason youre all complaining is because like most things in this world our magazines are becoming more commercialised when we prefered our mags with the oily bits left in

any updates? any pics of the beast as the old ebay links dont work

prop? what prop? lol maybe have front IFS lol
