Thanks,
Tyres 35 x 10,5 x 16 Simex. On the picture they are 1 day old, just fitted at the simex factory in Kuala Lumpur.
The snorkel is a piece of alu tube with a Safarisnorkel plastic top. It feeds straight in a Turbodiesel arfilter housing under the wing, were normally the heater lives. It sits within the roll cage line (when snorkel top rotated 90 degrees). The snorkel tube is 3 inch, most off the shelf ones are 2,5 inch, which is a bit restrictive.
Did you galvanize your bulkhead? I was told not to, because of warping, and had it zinc sprayed instead. Is your standard s3 or made from thicker material?

Thanks todd,
what did you change?
It seems we have a similar taste in Land Rovers!
My landy is my very first car, bought when I was 17 (now 15 years ago), i Rebuilt it first and 9 years later I rebuilt it again, now on coil springs and with TDI power.
Currently, the body is being refurbished for obvious reasons....

lre forum: I would like to express my ideas here about the lre forum going down. I think this was allways a matter of time. The problem is that the forum did expres different ideas than the mag. The forum was slagging off advertisers, billing and the mag itself.
So there were 2 schools of thought under 1 banner. This is not acceptable in public, so one had to go. As the mag is making money and the forum is not, the forum went down.
We can call LRE what we like, but does anyone out there think the other LR mags are any better? I dont think so, and If I were in charge of LRE, I would have done the same thing. The only thing you could say is that they could have tried harder to end it on good terms with everybody.
I am subscribed to LRO, but only to stay informed about news, and because they are the biggest mag, the news will always appear first there. I am not impressed with their stories though.
I am glad there is an independent forum now, because if someone gets ripped of or has bad experience with a product, I still want to know. So I think well done to the moderators of this forum, and I suggest from now on to look forward and not back.

I swear by genuine rubber.
In the radius arms, use narrow bushes, even when the radius arm is the later, wider version. More flexible. I also use these in the gearbox mounts. In the rear, I have rodends on the chassis end and rubber on the axle end. Rod ends are OK, but make sure that one end of the link is still in rubber mount, otherwise the rodends will wear out much quicker, as you mentioned.
