what is it with these rangies once they loose a little bit of unwanted weight of there arses they love to show them off

cant see any reason why not as long as you can weld and get the steel work cut out any thing is possable

i recon the motor could do with a breather , recon you could drill any where between the fins in the back cover , and get a 1/8bsp fitting in

[quote name='jj_11. cant wait 2 find out were them steel rollerbearings go... JJ cant quite remember where , but there was a link to a site of some one who had stripped an 8274 down and taken pic at every step with a write up , quite help full , would imagine after 15 years all it needs is a clean some new oil and brake pads (why not fit uprated ones )

i stripped mine down and bead blasted it , then lackered it first time round , dont think i used enougth lacker as it started to get the tell tale white spots , so i bead blasted it again and had it powder coated B)

try these guys www.cbf.co.uk i went through a local comercial body builders to get mine and this is the company they use

not quite a ground anchour, but we used one of jims ''stump hooks'' at the baskervillie challenge , and was a bit sceptical at first but once we had used it once i was hooked it worked so well , we used a ground anchour in a similar situation on the tay challenge and turned the blade inside out and bent the frame back

Xmas 2009 or perhaps 2010 (you know Chris is really quick). he he i was thinking the same thing

i have fitted 3 of jims mainshafy kits never had to bother reaming out the bronze bush , did renew the needle roller bearing though , around £1:5-£2 even managed to lay my hands on some needle bearings for the top housing around 60p each

biggreenthing if you decide to buy from the states and fancy splitting the shipping costs let me know , im also after the same gear , after my main shaft let go and took that gear with it

hi dave , where are you holding this ? are co-drivers that have competed in the tay allowed to enter

had a squeakey aux belt on my 300 replaced the bearing , and fitted a new belt , still there replaced the complete tensioner and all ok , the tensioner was very slightly worn causing the squealing

i recon i know who it is from that discription if it is who i think it is , spoke to him beguinning of the week and hes out to win sum thing in the uk before the end of 2007 B)

i went to there stand in billing after buying and being very happy with the mud console to buy the gauge pod , and sum power sockets , waited ages and know one wanted to serve me

my 300tdi 90 has done 181,??? miles ive had her 2 years and somerset council had her since she was born in 94 ive replaced injectors( nothing really wrong with old ones) new cam belt (just maintainance) and she possably had a new transfer box before i got her

good luck on sunday rob is any one running a book on the winner , quite possable welsh winners in both classes Dafydd

hiya alan , didnt think you were going down ? will call you this week , dont think i can make this one if we out the week after

most uk sites they are , me thinks he going playing in that massive play ground they call russia

paul sold bob before he had a chance to cage her

will show you a pic of mine when photo bucket is up and running again i had a custom exhust maker (alunox in wrexham) make me up a section that follows the cage behind the cab , still not finished the thru cab bit , but all made out of 2.5" OD stainless exhaust material try www.siliconhoses.com never used them mind

is it an XP motor ? may just need the contacts cleaning up in the motor , happened to me when i was stuck up to my bonnet in snow

i use 4 axel stands (rated at 6tonnes each ) as long as correctly positioned they are very safe , ive no problems working on a vehicle on axel stands , much much safer that a hydralic jack

i co drive for Alan kemp , who has a centre winch fitted , and it really is use full , for side slopes as mentioned , pulling the vehicle over to a punch and clearing trees , at the Tay challange this year it was a real benifit having the centre winch , saved us some time on certain stages also comes in handy for any maintainance or tyre changes required

jim had a very neat motor support on his rear winch up in the tay challange , all very nicely tig welded to the end plate on the drum , well i think it was you wasnt it jim ?

where you there mate this event was well organised and EVERY section was marshled (by more than one marshel) as far as i could see on all the sections we completed there where NO tracks out side of the taped areas . appoligies if you were being sarcastic (smilies needed if so) but posts like yours are not really needed when so much hard work has been put in to these events , if your post refurs to another recent comp ''op north'' then no cheating was done there either , just the way the rules where interprited
