  1. i have an 85 lr110 which has a two piece cable,perhaps one of those would suit.
  2. i have seen this before on a brian james trailer with similar suspension,turned out to be a bent axle,to prove in your case would take a lot of careful measurement.
  3. les he is asking if he can bolt vented disks and calipers straight on,to which the answer is yes.
  4. nitrogen is the only suitable gas to charge hydraulic systems,in the same way nitrogen is used in aircraft tyres,it is less sensitive to pressure change with an increase in temperature,i would suggest argoshield is not suitable as it is a mixture of argon and co2,the proportion depending on which argoshield blend it is.
  5. thank you very much,will be able to get a price on tuesday now.
  6. i have used the search facility,but it did bring a result,does any one know the wieght of a bare 110 chassis as i need to get a quote for galving please,chris.
  7. having worked on heavy plant for many years,the best i have come across are the ones supplied with caterpillar machines,find your local cat dealer and try them,finnings are the uk cat people.
  8. as fridgefreezer recomended,britcar,he uses dhl and having dealt with duncan for the best part of 20 years i would highly recomend him.
  9. as said above,the omega lump is easiest to fit,have you spoken to jeremy fearn?he has done loads of these.
  10. i think custom cages can supply a suitable mig wire for cromoly,but it is kin expensive!!!!!!!!
  11. les,there are 3 different gears listed,assuming you have the correct one in the past i have found if you a gap between the transfer box and back of transmission you can get the gear to mesh correctly and then tighten the transfer box up,hth,chris.
  12. obviously not fitting them correctly bowie,not really designed for oil cooler hoses,suggest you do a google search if you want a tutorial.
  13. hi all,i am lead to beleive the rear diff from a 4.6 p38 has a four pin centre and will fit a discovery 1 type axle case,is this true?does any one have experience of fitting one.chris.
  14. the 6bt is a stonking engine,as mentioned you will need a good transmission,you may get away with a santana box out of a v8 110,but if you are canny,many of them fitted to trucks had an auto box behind them.
  15. the size of the rad and the rad material has a large effect on the cooling,ally rads dissapate heat more effeciently than ordinary production rads,also using water wetter addative will aid cooling,as will making an air funnel in front of the rad.this has all been learn,t from running tarmac rally cars in the past.
  16. i have a dewalt 18v,bought the gun "naked" of flea bay then bought the highest ah batteries i could find,very pleased with it,i also have the 18volt drill so have plenty of batteries.
  17. i know it was not what you asked,but the toothed belt is the way to go,hydraulic test rigs for aircraft use toothed belts to drive their pumps,so well up to the job.
  18. surprised it doesn,t have a "project khan "badge,as they produce equally puke invoking range rovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  19. google beal uk they are in leeds,sell alot of good stuff.
  20. on parts we fitted to ship to shore cranes it was t-wash,primer paint.t-wash goes off fairly quick.
  21. very happy for you,good health is one thing you can,t put a price on,at 46 i am still playing rugby and chasing cows round a field,a positive frame of mind certainly helps,
  22. my i send you best wishes for the future,i have a pair of 88" side panels you are welcome to,along with some 90 seats and a set of steel rims with 7.50/16 tyres,we had a fire on the farm where i work last back end,barn was full of hay and straw,the flames licked my workshop which is brick built,luckily the fire bregade stopped it going up,i count myself very lucky.
  23. we used to put it in all the plant where i used to work,telehandlers and jcb 3cx,well worth it in those applications but there are many brands out there some better than others.
  24. the fuse may have melted stopping it from blowing,sounds daft but is possible.
