    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😂
  2. dangerous doug
    We converting to independent portals while we’re at it😂

    I will do my best. I now do t have halfshafts for reference but I’ll get as many measurements as I can
  4. dangerous doug
    You’ll be able to use the centres to get the positive offset and also caliper clearance then convert the pcd for the hub again no?

    Listen, ill do anything to lure him into the workshop and get him to leave behind some of his work ethic😂

    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

    Love the old Quattros

    This information is useless with out pictures😂

    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 😂
  11. dangerous doug
    Pm me your schedule and I’ll see where I can be!

    How hard were they to cut in the end?
  13. dangerous doug
    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.

    Good god man you don’t hang about! That looks amazing and as I say, factory fresh! I’ll Have to look into getting a press and taking all apart

    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.
  16. dangerous doug
    Mine is 40mm so may get away with it
  17. dangerous doug
    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
  18. dangerous doug
    Sir, that looks factory fresh!
  19. dangerous doug
    There will be something, one day, that I’ll be able to help you with😂
  20. dangerous doug
    Indeed, making us shed dwellers look small with such little effort😂 @Stellaghost how long did that test piece take to cut?
  21. dangerous doug
    That looks great!
  22. dangerous doug
    By all means tell me to shut up but could a 4 jaw not be held in a 3 jaw?
  23. dangerous doug
    Don’t be such a pansy, there’s 8 of those ones in each section upto 42m! 😂 And now we wait
  24. dangerous doug
    That would be correct. Measured for you today…. doesnt even register on the tyre gauge and where I got confused, side lugs are massive
  25. dangerous doug
    pitbulls are a snazzy looking tyre. But as you say, wide! there was a guy running them on his challenge truck many years ago and he seemed to do ok. those radial treps would serve a purpose in getting you a taller tyre with more side wall but would you regret it later? another option to consider…
