You could just use the old fashiond way, pen, paper, and a scientific calculator, as long as you know the CLR of your dies then you can work out the bend lengh and bend to bend lengh, not as much fun as bend tech but no cost, Carl.

So now its moved on a bit, here it is fitted together for a test fit I set about making a nose addapter to get everything lined up correctly The one that will be used is bolted to crank this is just to obtain measurements I have had to modify the torque convertor and flex plate to suite I have allowed 15mm for the addapter plate You can just see the dowl pins instaled And just enough room for exhaust. This has gone together quite well considering that the engine and box are from totaly differant origins the dowls line up witch made measurements for addapter plate a tad easyer

Out of pure interest i wounder what sva man would say about rear steer? After he stoped laughing of course, Carl.

Ahhhh s*******###### f###### t******, Yes,

Hello, Approx £100.00,Depends on your discounts, Carl.

Be aware that the bell housing is cast with the box and not interchangeable - the Jag can't be readily adapted to fit a US V8. Why not? loaded question,just want to know, Carl.

Try geting in touch with corus or mcreadys steel, i had a info sheet from mcreadys that gave basic info but they should be able to supply data for there aloy steel, http://www.niagaralasalle.co.uk/distribution/products/index.html http://www.corusgroup.com/en/company/divisions/long_products_divisions/corus_engineering_steels/ http://www.smithmetal.com/downloads/steel_datasheets.htm Carl.

Now i cant give that much info away can i, Carl.

Approx 70 hours total with drawings etc, done a set of working drawing so i can have it cnc machined if any body wants one, Carl.

No way, I machined the stud for a laugh, I realy needed this addapter, Carl.

That is 300m so is perfect, http://www.corusgroup.com/file_source/StaticFiles/Business%20Units/Engineering%20steels/S155.PDF Carl.

I have been working on my truck latley mostly on engine and transmission and appart from importing the addapters not much is available so i set about making my own, I started with a billet of t6 alluminium 12 " dia x 175mm thick And started to make some swarf And large cut off's To reveal this All made on my trusty bridgeport manual mill. And turned a addapter shaft from 300m to go from auto to LT230 transfare box this has gone for the splines to be cut All this is for a GM 4L80E Auto box to a LT230 Trans box mated to a big v8 Next stage is auto to engine addapter so stay tuned, Carl.

I you register as agricultural are you not on limited use, so cant go very far, Carl.

To be fully road legal as i understand it has to have a mechanical link so as full hydro has no link then no road legal, some people including myself are looking at ways to have a mechanical link on full hydro but its early days and not sorted anything yet but it is posable, i hope anyway, Carl.

I was under the impresion that they where not allowd in class 2, i new about the hydro bit, Carl.

When i shout i need to remember to move mic away so john's ears dont get a blast, with haedsets being used more and more less shouting goes on so people may start to forget, Carl.

My understanding of this is that you also need a 'loose' sail aswell so it can be used on either winch line as a marker, Carl.

send me a dxf i can look at them give you a cost but can do them monday providing i have steel, Carl.

Can they be cnc plasma cut instead, Carl.

When i had complaints it was said that i was running a car repair shop but the car was mine and never moved much as it was 'under construction' and the only other cars where freinds and family visiting but i was still watched for a while, 2 official complaints where made by same neigbour but the council guy was ok as he new what was going on from first complaint but still had to follow it up but i gave him my soliciters name and address to send any more complaints to as i thought it was becoming a invasion of my own privacy, there will allways be somone to complain about somthing,dont take mick and no real case to answer, Carl.

Yep, take rope of rear, Carl.

if you can take your gearbox out and send it to ascrofts so no surcharge applies but if you have to pay you should get surcharge back, be carfull who you use as some recons are not properly done and it becomes false economy if its not got a good after sales policy, my choice would be ascrofts, Carl.

class 3 standard with 1 winch no aftermarket lockers class 2 multi winch with lockers no portals or full hydrosteer Class 1 unlimited mods Generaly this is it Carl.

You bitch

Chris, I had all this some while back before i had a unit and i had one t**t of a neigbour who took a dislike to my hobby, they complained to council and becouse this they had to investigate, now you have been to my house, and my garage is not exactly small and they didnt like this either but i had to prove i wasnt running a bussines from home whitch took some doing as he asked why 3 lathes and 2 bridgeports etc etc but after showing some pictures on web and clips in mags he could see why and all was fine and not had no bother since, i dont make noise to late or start to early or have moters all over the street and not mutch to answer to, as said, be freindly let them know what you do they might be more understanding with you, Oh, and dont let the family dog chase after some cat into the wrong house, that will start to upset folk, Carl.
