  1. To bring this up again i bought said flanges above, and they are circular instead of rectangular like are currently fitted.

    When i compared the new flange to the old flange it is approx 12mm deeper.

    In order to fit the new flanges do i remove the big washer that sits behind the flange, otherwise i am shortening the prop travel by 12mm?

  2. My RR front axle swivels were pitted, so last weekend i fitted new swivels and seals, but alas the seals weeped oil.

    I used swivel balls FRC7065 and seals FTC3401.

    So to remedy this today i thought i had the wrong sized seals e.g 8mm when i needed 12.5mm, on fitting these seals there does not seem to be much visual difference.

    Is the actual problem that i have the wrong sized swivel?

  3. No competition Tony, get a Richards Chassis.

    After you have spent all the time stripping your truck it would be a crime not to have a new chassis especially given you have all the kit why scrimp at the last hurdle, plus they are pretty reasonable considering what you get.

  4. Having filed a pair of hub bearing washer/spacers in a safe place i need to order some new ones but i am not sure what they are.

    The lock tab that fits the stub axle looks like this;

    When i went to the part store they supplied me with this washer/spacer;

    Problem is that wont fit on the stub axle as the slot on the stub axle is not big enough;

    Am i just being a plank and have missed something very obvious?

  5. I have recently fitted range rover axles to my 90 and have since found that a pair of disco calipers i had do not fit the range rover front wheel/hub assembly.

    Basically what i need to find is a pair of caliper that the imperial equivalent of a 11mm bolt and are spaced correctly to fit a RR front wheel/hub assembly.

    Would early 110 calipers work?

  6. James,

    I buy fittings from AEP on Heathpark in Honiton and they are very helpful, Pirtek on Marsh Barton in Exeter are also good. If you want some 6mm pneumatic nylon pipe i have a fair bit, drop me a line and i will leave some behind when i collect the cutter tomorrow, also have a new 1/8bsp - 6mm push fit elbow if you want it.
