[Potential insanity]

How about hiring a truck with a crane for the day........

[Potential insanity]

We usu. put the Tara weight of a 20" ctr. on 2.200 kgs.

Width varies between 240 and 250 cm.,

What makes them awkward to transport on a flatbed trailer without "twistlocks" is securing them - you def. don't want them to move. Also, they don't like to be transported on their floors - they sit on their corners.. They tent to be a bit tail heavy - the doors are more metal.. Also, the police will want you to have mirrors that look rearwards alongside the container as required by law. We have used reverse camera's in the past but some LEA will not like that.

Have you got something to unload the thing ?

[serie's 88" closed hardtop sidepanels]

Seen / had some before.
Fit both the 88" aswell as the 110 5 door.
Unusual as most have at least the rear quarter windows.

[Cutting a galvanised chassis]

Having had chassis pulled over the years, it is quite impressive what can be done..

I think quite a few of us have been in the woods with a winch and straps and some interesting pulling to straighten things out.

More recent, a serious hydraulic ram was used to pull out a chassis a bit... 😳

 

[Recommendations for replacement bulkhead parts]

The Maer bulkheads, both LHD and RHD, are still not ready for sale it seems.....

Their chassis are a good fit though.

Another TI Console user here...

Under the 88" for about 27 years now, with matching Koni shocks, and quite happy with them.

Pictures help a lot

Friends with hydraulic rams help, too

TTBOMK there is no seal between the box and TB.

Try DDS

Very, very Nice !

[Hawkeye P38 - will this work on other models ?]

Thanks.

[Hawkeye P38 - will this work on other models ?]

Quick question :

Will this one work on a Discovery II Td5 ?

[Ot but might be of interest]

Love this sort of posts !

Thanks Stephan.

[Treasure from the scrap man]

Stephan,

That steel cable & hook very much looks like the ones used for a Trifor...

 

[Defender fuel tank leaks - better replacement yet?]

I'm happy to sent a spare "plastic" Disco I tank to you to play with if that helps.

[Nintey 200tdi engine conversion]

Sorry, contact should be "contact@4x4chassisetpieces.fr"

[Defender fuel tank leaks - better replacement yet?]

Mid. '90s

Have more pics if you'd like.

People have also fitted Discovery tanks (also "plastic")

Have one of those sitting here you can have.

[Nintey 200tdi engine conversion]

That seems like a very interesting price, delivered into Malta !

Hope all Customs formalities etc are included as they do seem to add up for stuff from the UK coming into the EU.

Please keep us updated.

Why not get a new galvanized bulkhead from France ?

There is an importer for both galvanized chassis (MAER in stock) and bulkheads (DDS and Richards).

I think they have one in stock and transport / duties would be less perhaps..

Give Richard a shout on "message@4x4chassisetpieces.fr"

You never know - perhaps that would work for you.

[Defender fuel tank leaks - better replacement yet?]

My OneTen was eventually fitted with a "plastic" tank for the Td5. Fits OK, you need to make a small mod. but no real issues.

We also fitted a Series filler with the "extension" for easier filling with jerrycans.

You, Sir,  have many hidden talents.

Very, very nice !

[Drivetrain issues, supected gearbox]

These days there are sensors for everything, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a sensor that kills off movement when it thinks there is too much oil...

[Wiring looms - replacement]

Made a few looms myself and it is not that difficult if you're not into originality. Earth is the big issue with the standard loom so that must be solved. A label printer is a huge help, as is a database / spreadsheet with what is what.

[Height clearance for 4-post ramp]

We're working on 4,50 mtrs. between floor and underside ceiling / trusses etc. for our workshop.
