It’s been done, I have a photo somewhere😂 due to the modular construction of the 404s it was a beautifully simple conversion and seemed to work well!
nah he has a v8 to put into it first😂
I know it’s more work but I do have some 404 wheels you can have if you want to do a similar thing to what you did before. They’re just sitting outside so would rather they get some use if it helps
EDIT: looks like you could cut the centres out and weld them Straight to the 17s
….did you lift the pin though? Everytime I have to change one on site I consider quitting, and to be fair, Ross has arms Like mister tickle and leverage works both ways 😂
for context, this is where it goes
Just to update everyone. Stephen is safely in the south and on his way to collect tyres. Had a chat, half shafts handed over and had a discussion about the dirty active speed cameras around the m25.
was a pleasure to meet you mate, safe journey and lift with your knees when you take the pin out of the van….@landroversforever will vouch for that 😂
That tower bolt filled it up, you think that mog shafts will fit?😂.
@Stellaghost when you coming down? I’ll probably be able to meet you along the line somewhere as I dare say you’ll be hitting the m1/a1/m11 and then the m25 at some point on your journey and I can cover all of those in a day. I’ll be able to give you the difflock lever aswell for you to copy.
This is where the speed of your work is a downside for the rest of us😂 honestly not sure on how long they need to be yet as I’ve not got that far. As you say they do slide so if they can be made as long as possibly then I can potentially trim The shaft down if needs be.
What size is your spindle bore? I think the shafts will fit through mine so I’ll turn them down before they go up to you. If not I’ll put them on centres and use drive dogs
