[Gon2far Vs Scorpion Extreme Suspension]

This is the only picture I have of mine showing axle articulation at the mo (not a lot, I know), but it goes way beyond and has, so far, always reseated nicely. (BTW, that's not me in the foreground)

that'll be me who took that photo

oh kay, lets try that again as we got auto-format for text on here.....

[Fuse Boxes And Bus Bars]

There have been some fine suggestions, but nothing like what I was after.

Is there any reason why, I can't use a "Bus Bar" like this

and run it into a conventional 10 way fuse box ?

It looks bootie, but I can't see why it wont work.

Obviously insulation would need to be more than a wrap of insulation tape, but that isn't difficult. 

it will, until rot gets at it, four star connection is the max for a safe long life with the connections as fuss:

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.

[Switches Vs Relays]

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

[Fuse Boxes And Bus Bars]

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

[Some People Need Educating!]

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

[Laning Days ...where Are They?]

ummmm..... no

[2.5nad Throttle Question?]

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

[If You Buy Replacement Footwells........]

Aaaahhh, the joy of Paddocks... it's a masochistic way to buy parts, why do we all fall for it?

I do like there "spend over £50 and get free postage" though, Land Rovers do seem to be linked with S&M

[If You Buy Replacement Footwells........]

Oooops. Measure twice, powdercoat once?

like it

[If You Buy Replacement Footwells........]

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!

[Polybush]

what is the problem? width, diameter, et cetera?

[2.5nad Throttle Question?]

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

[2.5nad Throttle Question?]

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

[Nice To See We Were Appreciated]

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

[Trundle Around Salibury Plain]

3rd sept onwards, if it's mainly aggragate tracks I might even ride my motorbike

[Tidworth Area]

Shires aint doing many green lanes at present for one thing or another

[Tidworth Area]

Lovely town my ass!!

I see a meet coming on

might have to help level your 88 by sitting in the passenger side

[Tidworth Area]

I'm in Amesbury but my 109 is in pieces

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

[Waxoyl]

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

[Tidworth Area]

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

[Well Done Land Rover Addict]

and I've even got me title from the old forum!

[109 3/4t Roll Call]
