  1. oh kay, lets try that again as we got auto-format for text on here.....
  2. it will, until rot gets at it, four star connection is the max for a safe long life with the connections as fuss: \ / \/ O /\ / \ The ring crimps then sit on each other with no packing washers required, this then means you don't suffer from dissimilar metal corrosion as all the crimps are together.
  3. Only detail to remember is that running a 30A switch at 30A's means you are running it at it's maximum all the time, this will reduce the life of the item, if you can find a data sheet for the item it should break-down what the load-versus-life expectancy is
  4. I tend to use Ward Brooke terminal blocks breaking out to the VWP fusebox: WB 1146 twenty terminals, 10 rows by two columns, 8/32 UNC terminals, luvly Dunno what the option for purchase is though as Ultra Electronics tend to only deal with the industry, you might be able to get a sample if you play your cards right with them
  5. it's not quite a "ringer", the DVLA uses a system of allocating "score points" for sub assemblies within a vehicles construction, points are given for original chassis, brakes, engine, transmission et cetera. As long as you score enough points to sattisfy their criteria then all is well, if you don't then it's SVA time and new registration et cetera
  6. I must say the shinny red does take your eyes away from the rest of the crudy engine wonder what I'll do the V8 before I fit it in........ illuminescent green perhaps
  7. I do like there "spend over £50 and get free postage" though, Land Rovers do seem to be linked with S&M
  8. from Paddocks or some other firms, just remember that if the clutch and the brake pedal housing holes are the same dimensions your dual brake pedal box won't fit through even after you have just spent a £100 on getting the bulkhead powder coated: duhhhhhhhhhh!
  9. what is the problem? width, diameter, et cetera?
  10. Just moved the block on the slot and it made minimal difference reducing the ratio on a crank-point and no difference doesn't compute at this moment
  11. I've got issues, however lets talk about the Land Rover I didn't like the ol' Series throttle linkage so I sold that on and brought myself a defender throttle pedal assembly, I've cut a few bits and bent the mounting plate (tread pedal is standard) and got it to follow the contours of a Series foot well. With it in I put the cable in with a split pin loosely and decided to have a squint in the engine pay to see if all was good, the pedal seems to have the same bell crank ratio as the series parts however my throttle positions are as follows on the CAV: nuts and bolts falling off position (at tick-over) lots of black smoke and mopeds over taking you (throttle to the floor) me question be, is it meant to go all the way to the end stop?

    Exhaust

    But not forgetting that the smaller pipe will improve marginly the low RPM torque
  13. Bunch of tw@ts, I'll never buy one of their magazines again, come think of it, I only brought it once and it was $hite bye bye LRE, hello LRA
  14. 3rd sept onwards, if it's mainly aggragate tracks I might even ride my motorbike
  15. Shires aint doing many green lanes at present for one thing or another
  16. might have to help level your 88 by sitting in the passenger side
  17. Hmm, got a grid ref for Pieces cos I can't find it on my map? I think it's near to "Effing Garden" if I caught it right when muver was shouting last
  18. Go down your local RAF airfield and get chatty with the WAF's I may know someone on my base who has access to such luvly fluids
  19. I take it this would be Tidworth in Wiltshire? if so you got all of the green lanes on Salisbury Plain to keep you amused (just stick to them, the MoD Plod will either get to you first or the un-exploded shells will!), or there is the Shires or Solent and District LRC down near Southampton shiresLRC SADLRC I'm in Amesbury but my 109 is in pieces in the next few months I'll have it together and shall go exploring the plain in me spare time
  20. and I've even got me title from the old forum!
