  1. hmm, i suddenly realize that it is quite unlikely that the locker would do anything to the gearing ratio. So it probably won't fit
  2. Hi, I have a series 3 109 with a 4.7 salisbury rear axle. I ordered an ARB diff locker for it but Paddock send me the RD20 instead of the RD32 I also have a defender 2.5 NA diesel engine in it but still the series gear and transfer box with overdrive I have 2 questions: Would the RD20 (defender salisbury axle 3.51 (or something like it) gearing ratio) fit my series salisbury ? Would i want the RD20 to fit my series salisbury ? if both these questions are a no they i should try to see whether Paddock can exchange them. greetings Bas

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Bazz, that’s the parts catalogue I'm looking for unfortunately the links are broken, so can download them Thanks Dano, email me at s.koekkoek@erasmusmc.nl, i'm sure we can arrange something.

    Hi, every little piece in the gearbox can be ordered from Graddock, www.johngraddockltd.co.uk, just type in the part nrs. These you can find by looking here and download the part list for your model. http://www.tukojack.com/Download.htm i just finished mine without any prior experience, i had about the same problems. all worked great and went pretty smoothly, just get a lot of closable small boxes to put all bits and pieces in, follow the manuals work carefully and it should be no real problem. i replaced all bearings (except one that was too hard to get out), all gaskets, synchrosprings, oil seals etc. greetings Bas
  5. Ah Thanks, so i'll just use the new ones with the old spring holders. I still have to tap out the valve guides and refit new ones. Hope that will go smoothly. Bas
  6. Hi, I ordered replacement valve springs (ERR4640) for my cilinder head. When i took the assembly apart i noticed to my surprise that 2 springs are used for each valve. I only got replacements that look like the outer springs it seems (i got original landrover springs). Does anybody know whether these are some new type that replace both the old inner and outer ones or only the outer ones. if so, does anybody know the partnr of the inner springs. They seem to have the same nr in the parts catalogue thanks Bas
  7. hi, england might be possible, I live in Belgium. Maybe we can figure something out. Let me know when you know more. why don't you mail me at s.koekkoek@erasmusmc.nl, that way i won't miss your reply greetings Bas
  8. I just ordered a replacement part and got a britpart one. This is deff. not the same size (much thicker, more roundish) although the hole seems to be in the correct position. Also there is loose metal inside that rattles quite annoyingly. Should i make a hole and remove that? or will the normal background noise be so much i won't be hearing it anyway. Bas
  9. Hi, thats actually a good idea, although i'm at this moment not so good a welder that i can make nice vertical welds. Up till now i just turned my chassis in whichever way nessecary to get horizontal surfaces. This will be slightly more difficult with the body in place. I only have an arc welder, a decent mig weler is too expensive for me at this moment. What do you all use for welding chassis?
  10. hi, where do you live? do you have the part numbers of the stuff you need. I can have a look. i have mine in pieces at this moment and will not put it back together the next two months or so. depending on your location i am willing to lend you the stuff so you can have copies made or something. Bas
  11. so fixing the riggers in the exact opposite position by measuring on the chassis would be a safer bet than aligning them with the use of the bulkhead. I frequently read stories about how bulkheads didn't fit anymore after replacing outriggers so i was thinking to be smart and prevent that by doing it this way. Only now i might end up with a fitting bulkhead, but only that. Probably the best way would be to do both, measure up but leave it attached to the bulkhead. I also better find a second person to help me do this because it is a pain to do it on your own. Bas
  12. Hi I cut of my old rusted outrigger from my chassis (lh side). The chassis is completely stripped down. Now i temporarilly fitted my new bulkhead in an attempt to line out my new outrigger and tack weld it into place. There seems to be much more room to play with as i anticipated. Even with all the bolts (loosely fitted) and struts in place (the ones from the chassis to the footwells) you can still move the whole bulkhead considerably (cm's). What would be the best trick to figure out what the correct position of the bulkhead is (and therefore the correct position of my outrigger) so i won't get in too much trouble refitting the remainder of my bodywork (safari) later on. thanks in advance Bas
  13. Yep, that would seem logical but i cannot find anything in the underside On the top there is a number. ETC5043/3
  14. Hi, I'm confused about the different piston types. I'm revising my 2.5 12j N/A diesel engine and probably need new piston rings since i read everywere that they should be changed as a matter of course. I checked taper of cilinder bores etc and everything is well within limits, just needs to be honed. How do i find out if i have GKN or Hepworth pistons since rings are apparently different for these types. Bas
  15. So, what is the best part supplier in the UK you think (it has to do online ordering and shipping to belgium) I use Graddock or Paddocks but you can't now beforehand whether parts are going to be original or britpart or whatever. greetings BAs
