cheers western and everyone, most helpful as usual. I was going to use a load of silicone but i pull the floor up so often that im going try and do it with rubber seals.
what method do you find is easiest for taking off/lifting on the transfer box as i have the nice job of doing this aswell. i usually just drop the gearbox and tranfer box with an engine hoist but dont have one this time.
hi,
could anyone tell me what them little plastic things are called that you screw the self tappers in to hold the floor down?
also does anyone know what size i need them in? and what size self tappers to use?
thanks
i think the oil temp guage would be electric and would go in place of the sump plug. The oil pressure would be electric and you can get ones with adaptors so that you keep the sender for the low oil pressure light and add another sender for the guage. the boost guage would be mechanical and u plumb it in to the little pipe on the wast gate thingy on the turbo.
hope this helps
im pretty sure its the y as th bit behind it is miles back and the bit in front is the manifolds. ive got a day off tomorow to carry on so will see how i get on.
made a start on it yesterday, but it appears that the exhuast downpipe/ y pipe stops me from taking vc housing off, so it looks like i need to take that off to unless ive missed somthing.
the engine and transfer box can be used but dont think you can use the disco gearbox. so you would need to either find an r380 defender box or lt77 defender box and make that fit.
put a old seized up viscous coupling in it. then you will have permanent diff lock. i will have one available in a few days as im changing it at the moment.
