theres some cranked trailing arms on offer etc in classifieds - someone making to order if i remember correctly.
i am running std radius and trailing arms.
there seems to be a few probs with changing to castor corrected radius arms in that you get prop vibration and need to change that as well but over come the steering problems.
dont castor corrected bushes take out some of the articulation? just something i had heard.
i havent seem any other frotn dislocation rings other that scorpion. i would however be tempted to try the -2" front mts without the dislocation rings, as depending on your springs fitted, if they have a long free length you may fidn they don't dislocate anyway.

as Ian suggests you can use LT77 chassis mounts for an R380 which is what i did when fitting a 300tdi to my 110.
i mounted the 300tdi the 2" further back,
both rad and bottom intercooler hoses were fine as were both oil cooler hoses, only lengthening needed was for the top intercooler hose.
exhaust needed and bit taken out.
may need to adjust the viscous fan to get it to clear the PAS box, i ditched mine for electric so dont know.
fan cowling becomes redundant

les dont suppose you have a part no for those from BM do you?

paddock rear dislocation cones are good in my opinion, southdown will also be doing these soon i believe.
i wouldnt use the paddock top shock mounts though, richard harvey do -2 or -3" ones or you could go the +2, +3" route then fit +6" shocks etc.
i am running pro comp +2" shocks and procomp orange springs alround
rear: paddock cones, RH drop top mounts and get 48" from the ground to the bottom lip of the std fitted wheel arch when the body is jacked up just before the wheel leaves the ground.( thats with 255/85s),
front is paddock HD tubular top shock mounts -2", with scorpion cones, gives 43" measured as above
front dislocated by max 1.5" rear by a bit more see picture;
prior to drop mounts the wagon was 42.5" rear and 41" front for comparison.
or fit some knackered bushes for increased travel.
i know these dont compare (and i'm not trying to) with the gon2far setup just some figures for comparison.
i think i will prob be going back to 'std' procomp shocks and springs on the front and ditching the -2" top mounts and may go +2" rer shock mounts with +4" shocks in time.

i have a trifor that i always carry in mine, 2nd hand £60 i think it was in bloody good nick as well. its resident in a rear locker with cable and handle always ready to go and required ltd maintenance. good for side pulls on the wagon, and thats in addition to the xd9000 and husky fitted!!
well worth having and as prev mentioned transferable.
just amek sure its got a nice long handle!!!!
-
dont know but i reckon they are the same.
if you checked the lenghts of props against vehcile age (dont kowif this is available online) that would tell you. if they are diffenerent then G box isin a different place.
-
Chap i got my cage from also makes these - or was doing a design when i collected mine anyway.
not sure about the mounting with the southdown tank guard there.
-
Sorry Fi but i am with Graham and Tony on this one. as mentioned earlier the wording of the initial letter seems to come from strong roots. plus the whole uni thing with instant come back and showing where to look up a list of modules rather than answering the question doesn't do anything to dispel my earlier thoughts.

cheers eyore, something possibly for the future when my trac edges wear out (70k on them now) i am after an AT the same ht as 255/85s hence the questions.
-
or A grades for 46% on another paper.
-
eyore,
what vehicle are you running those 285/75s on. am i right in thinking they are the same ht as 255/85s?
what rims have you got and does it make a noticable difference to the lock to lock?
have you tried ATs as well? or know who makes ATs this size?
-
same as me then!!!!
-
FREE subscription if you supply tech articles?
not that i could just asking for others?
-
good effort guys
Pay Pal beyond me.
you take cash? will sort it when next meet

try vehicle wiring products they do a bank of three DIN sockets with mounting you coudl wire in, most cigarette type males fit din as well, in my experience anyway, if notthey also have male dins so you could change the ends.
is it perm or just for the belgium trip?

why pm me your uni email why not stick it here
what geog mods you doing>?
-
this came through on the somerset response 4x4 email.
as Mark states:
great quantities,
all over UK,
and
extended period of time
these were the points that made me look twice
stuart, how come you don't have a uni email address?
-
something learn'd every day - thank you Si and Les
so if they fail its likely to be the sender?
-
staying here, its too much to try and watch two forums
-
i said it was a while since i had looked at these things anyway what cos 10deg between froum members
0.05 or so................
-
apparently theres a sensor on the block that tells the fan when to work.
the fan looks like a viscous unit and is belt driven.
so hows that work then????
-
Mark,
mine were fine after Tonys bash, could it be be due to rims as well??? i left mine at 32/34 psi for the event as well.

heres some other info we use at work for recovery:
Estimated pull = RR + GR + DR + SF
RR = rolling restance = weight of Vehicle(WOV) / ground factor(GF)
Where GF has various readings: hradstanding 25, grass 7, hard wet sand 6, soft wet sand, 5, dry sand 4, light mud 3, bog clay, deep mud 2.
GR = gradient = (WOV x degree of slope (over 45deg = WOV)) / 60
DR = drive restrictions = no really relevant for wheeled vehicles but 1 locked track = 1/3 WOV, and 2 LT = 2/3 WOV for wheeled half total number of axles locked 1/3 WOV, more than 1/2 axles locked 2/3 WOV
SF = safeyt factor = (RR + GR + DR ) / 4
Mechanical Advantage needed = EP/Winch cut out.
when calculating further weights depending how you got stuck:
sheer weight = RR + 2/2 WOV
any side over side = 2/3 WOV
and end over end = 1 1/4 WOV
these are in addition to the EP.
flat tyres
upto 4T = additional 1/2T per tyre
over 4T = additional 1T per tyre
some food for thought
or do you jsut connetced up and hope for the best?

Ralph,
thanks for the BM info. not quite what i am after but some good stuff there anyway.
