    airportable chassis parts

    in Military Forum

    Posted

    evening,

    having decieded to start work on rebuilding the airportable, the chassis is the fist item to be sorted, i have ordered a military 1/2 chassis, but whilst chatting to a fellow landrover owner, he thought that there was a differance with the Front Legs and Crossmember Assembly (repair section)

    he seems to think that the repair section differs for the airportable than the standard non miliary series 3 swb, in that the profiles are differant and thicker ?

    can anybody shed any light on this subject before i order said part. the front chassis legs on my chassis are knackered,and the front crossmember needs attention, so thought i would be easier to replace as a whole unit.

    paddocks have the part mentioned, but no specific mention of military fitment.

    cheers...

    Relay part number

    in Military Forum

    evening,

    the two relays you refer to are the horn relay and the stop light relay, the one nearest the engine is the horn relay. this information is for a 24volt series 3 petrol airportable.

    if the relay nearest the engine is broken, then i assume the horn wouldnt work ?

    cheers...

    Wolf / Army doors

    in Military Forum

    Posted

    Probably, best place to ask this question:

    Got a pair of Wolf doors.

    Need to know what shut latch I need for them on a civilian 90.

    Does anyone know if these are the same as those found on regular Series 2 / 3 ones ?

    hello,

    what exactly is your defination of " wolf doors " ?

    i bought new series 3 door bottoms,and fitted the early 90/110/military ally door tops. i then fitted the normal lift up handle lock, and slam striker, some people prefer the anti burst locks and striker. i chose the series type slam striker simply because i was always hooking myself on the normal defender striker, which sticks out.

    cheers...

    What is the ATU box going to be fitted onto? If it's the Lightweight then don't bother buying the ATU mounting kit for a Defender etc as the didn't use them on the Lightweight. The ATU box is installed basically as you describe in your first post - one big bolt.

    hello,

    its going to be fitted to my defender, as opposed to the lightweight..which needs..erm..rebuilding ! :-)

    cheers...

    What part numbers do you need? i've got the series 3 and 90/110 FFR parts manuals...

    hello jim,

    the part numbers i have are as follows:

    PRC 3761 nut plate x2

    RRC 3763 support angle x2

    RRC 3764 gusset support x1

    RRC 3216 mounting bracket A.T.U R/H

    RRC 3740 reinforcement A.T.U R/H

    i think there are also a couple of other bits and peices, to complete the mounting kit, but the above should be most of what i need...hopefully :-)

    cheers...

    Did you contact my mate, all his details in the PM I sent you.

    hello ralph, i emailed him,via the email address you sent me, but had no reply as yet. i have managed to find some part numbers, but not to sure whether the units will fit my ATU, as they are pre defender. i am 90% sure they will but just need some confirmation, then comes the job of aquiring some :-)

    Cheers...

    They mount in the same way.... a bolt through the middle and locating pins to stop the ATU box from "rotating" around.

    They have strengthening plates under the wing panel too, as they're quite heavy and with the length of the antenna on, can cause a nice bit of body damage!

    cheers for the info, what are the small square shaped boxes on the front wings of alot of ffr's defenders/xd's, i am assuming that they are mounting kits ? or simply cable boxes

    cheers...

    My wing boxes went on (and stayed on) no problem with the single bolt. I just put some big washers on to spread the load. From memory I think they had some locating holes too? (Sold the lightweight now so can't check :( )

    They even stood up to driving with the huge aerials on too! B)

    I dont suppose this photo helps much, but at least it shows they do fit straight on!

    hello,

    thanks for the piccy, it helps to get a better idea, and at least if i deciede to fit the atu to the lightweight, i know what it should look like !

    still wondering how the defender/xd mount their atu's to the wings ?

    :-)

    cheers..

    <_<

    hello,

    does anybody have a close up picture of the ATU mounting kits ? Craddocks had them advertised on their website, but on contacting them, they havnt got any !

    my ATU came with a single bolt that goes through the wing and connects to the bottom of the case, but far to flimsy it would seem.

    maybe the little boxes i have seen on the front wings on various defenders/xd's are where the atu sits bolted through ?

    cheers...

    Electric fan

    in International Forum

    Posted

    hello,

    i fitted an electric fan to my defender, the donor vehicle was a 1.9 citreon turbo, it has two fans fitted on a large radiator.

    i simply fitted a seperate switch to turn it on and off when needed, but apart from pulling up the pyrenees fully loaded in august,i havnt really used it. i cant comment on how hot the airportable will get, as most of mine is in peices strewn around the garage !

    cheers...

    series 3 109 station wagon ?

    in Series Forum

    Posted

    CalVIN should tell you all you need to know.

    Early 109's would've been 2.25 petrol or diesel or 2.6 6-cylinder petrol (sounds like a V8, drinks fuel like a V8, just doesn't go like one)

    As Trev said, the DVLA have some strange descriptions for Land Rovers as they fall between car and commercial vehicle - technically anything with more than 8 or 9 seats is a bus, so you may find you're allowed to drive in bus lanes and dodge the london congestion charge... but don't blame me if it doesn't work! :rolleyes:

    hello,

    well, i checked out the vin website, and it is indeed a petrol engine, so everything checks out. now all i need are a few simple items..chassis..bulkhead, doors..etc etc !

    thanks for the info.

    cheers...

    series 3 109 station wagon ?

    in Series Forum

    Posted

    hello,

    i have just purchased another land rover, this time a series 3 109.

    however on the log book its classed as a " motor caravan " is this normal, it also states thats its a historic vehicle, it has 12 seats so i am presuming its a station wagon ? it has a 2286 petrol engine in it, but i was told that they originally had diesel engines fitted ? the year of manufactor is 1972 and its tax exempt.

    can anybody help with the above points ?

    cheers...

    wing mounted aerials

    in Military Forum

    Posted

    hello,

    could somebody tell me what parts i need to equip the defender with a wing mounted military whip aerial ?

    i know there is a box that the aerial mounts to, but dont know what its called etc, any part numbers would be helpful, and approx cost for a complete setup ( minus the radio bit !)

    cheers...
