Nothing new revealed. 4 link with panhard front and rear. Hopefully they beef up the bottom links. No numbers on travel, but should be easy to modify. Sway bars look easy to disconnect.

Seriously get the 4000 rpm one. Nobody would purposely run a TDI over 4000.

#4 or #5. You need to measure the thread diameter.

Position of shoe tip. The movement of leading edge of the friction lining towards the hydraulic expander increases the self-serve action.which was my understanding ?
Yes, but it is not a huge difference. If you buy new shoes today, you will see that they use evenly spaced linings. In use, you won't notice any difference when changing from the old ones with the offset linings.
The vector drawing on that link is incorrect. It is the tangent from the center of the friction surface that determine the amount of servo action, not the location of the leading edge.
-
Your explanation of how it works is incorrect. The leading shoe has a self engaging effect. The location of the lining material on the pad has only a slight effect on this.
Touching first is meaningless. Nothing happens until both touch and then pressure is applied evenly to both shoes by the cylinder which floats to automatically adjust to the location of the shoes.
-
What you show is correct. The lining material is offset in the forward direction of rotation.
Springs and shoes are in the correct location for a left install.

Well that one of mine is adjustable it has 3 dip switches & a adjuster in body side
Cool. I did not know that.
-
The problem with the TD5 one is that it is not adjustable. You need to have the exact correct alternator and pulley size for it to be accurate. The aftermarket ones can be precisely adjusted to match any setup.

I use a 4000. They run out of poop well before 4000.

Sorry to add to an old post, but having blower problems with my 1995 fender, cannot find any live to the scalextric type lever, all fuses seem ok, i did put a live to one of the spades but still nothing, i was trying to change to a 2 speed rotary knob. At least its a while till winter.
Get a download of the workshop manual and look over the wiring schematic to understand how it all works. This will let you follow the power path to locate where the fault lies.
The dash switch is switching the ground side of the circuit.

Some leaked pics.

He did a recent video where he said that he will test drive one as soon as they exist and asked for any willing owner to contact him. Land Rover themselves will not lend him a vehicle to test.

Seems unusual for the drag link and panhard rod to be secured to the chassis end and axle end on opposite sides to each other. I’m no suspension expert, but isn’t that going to increase bump steer?
It isn't. The right side is the chassis connection. At same height as pitman arm.

4 link with panhard. Front "highish" steer. Swivel balls. Most likely Toyota wheel pattern.

I disagree, the more data you collect a clearer picture you will have of how the infection is spreading.
If you are doing little testing to confirm cases how can you possibly analyse the progression of infection?
By the hospitals. The infection is too wide spread to control through contact tracing. The only solution at this point is isolation to reduce the spread rate. Contact tracing is only useful when there is no community spread.
As above you want to continue to test essential workers and contact trace them as they can't isolate. For this disease, testing can never contain. Even with the best tests, false negatives are very high.

This is a great example of why it's going to be really hard to compare one country against another. When China was suffering as we are now in the West there was no commercial test. They would have been using none standardised lab developed tests where they could if at all. The USA are doing a lot of testing using standardised tests. The data is only as good as the testing strategy. I would imagine the actual figures in China are way higher than reported but rather because of lack of testing facilities rather than some cover up.
Confirmed cases are not a useful number for any comparisons. Nobody has the ability to test everyone and most tests being used have high false negatives.
Deaths are the best available comparison. That has limits as well as many countries are not testing everyone that dies, so under report deaths. But it is as good a comparison as is available. Currently the UK is following Italy's curve exactly. Belgium has the worst trend in the world.

Yep. And orders of magnitude more more lives will be lost/destroyed because of it.
The big picture is being lost in the noise of media coverage. Tragic for the individual cases, by far more due to the response. It mirrors the virus: the over the top response is worse than the virus itself.
Is your government not helping? Are they just letting everyone go bankrupt and homeless?

On that last photo, someone has installed a later style master cylinder with an earlier style brake pipe setup or some custom mess. You can see the third port is plugged. You will need to follow the pipe to see what some idiot previous owner has done.
The switch on the brake pedal box is for the brake lights. Without it, you have no lights...

See here:
Early is 7/16" UNF, later is M12.

Not true, the LT95 was first used in the 101 with both a straight 6 and a V8 for production. The 101 Bellhousing and Input shaft are 4 inches shorter than the RRC one.
Yes, I suppose he could get a short bellhousing one. I'm not sure how easy those are to find though.

All I've seen reference to is it's "one of the strongest" yeah compared to what?
Compared to the other Land Rover manual boxes. The LT77/R380 have a 77mm main to layshaft spacing. The LT95 is 95mm. This allows you to use stronger gears and reduces bearing loads.
That all said, there is no way to have a fact based comparison on strength. The only time that the 95 was in production alongside the smaller boxes with the same engines was the early V8s. That time period is what caused the belief they were stronger and why early 90/110/130 did not use the LT77 with the V8. But this was with 3.5 V8s and the early LT77 (which had design issues that have been since addressed). The LT95 also had design issues, which were addressed.
The only real way to get strength comparisons is to look at statistics on failures over a large number of boxes and look at the failure modes. There is a lot of data on the R380 but anything on the LT95 will be hearsay that I would not rely on. They only came with two engines and neither were near the power levels you are talking about.

.... and if anyone knew the maximum torque possible through the box .....
Okay. How do you think that anyone on the internet is going to be able to provide a factually based answer to this question? All you will get is a bunch of random opinion. It is not the best way to make decisions. I'm pretty sure that the engineering team that designed the LT95 is not about to pop up here and give you real numbers.
Anywho... Why are you not considering the Cummin 6BT? There are hundreds of those conversions in the UK with off the shelf conversion parts.
Your biggest issue with keeping the LT95 is the bellhousing is quite far forward and this will make space a limiting factor.
As to the oil question. It does not matter really. But most people today would use a modern manual transmission fluid instead of the engine oils for the gearbox side. The friction modifiers in them make the synchros work a little better. Continue to use engine oil in the transfer case.

Short? They are longer than Jeep arms. Looks to be around 2' long.
