Hi,
Having picked up my Portal Tek brakes at the weekend,(thanks Jen
),i need some wheel studs,anyone got any ideas where to source some? Land Rover ones wont fit as the hubs are threaded.Also any info on wheel back spacing would be most appreciated as would some pics of the kit installed.Im sure i read somwhere that some rims get quite close to the calipers.I would prefer to keep the track width as close to standard as possible.Tyres are at present 35x10.50x16 simex.It doesnt look like rocket science but every bit of info helps. 
Thanks
Pete
Hi,
The rims do run quite close to the calipers! But any LR rim should suffice with an offset to your suit own taste. These pics help at all?

"THE CAR HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO FRONT WHEEL DRIVE BY ME BECAUSE, THEY DRIVE RUBBISH AS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE"
What an idiot!
You quite simply wouldn't swap your own car with him for fear of what he might do to it!!!!

Its always interesting to see what the land rovers you've owned and sold have become....
Here's my old D90 on fleabay looking well.... clicky here

Why not put it on as a traditional auction starting at 99p, then we'll see what its really worth!!!!

by 'Tibus', I presume you mean Wolfgang Tibus owner of Killer Axles. LINKY to the latest thread.
He's the infamous rip off merchant of the gigglepin twin motor top housing

im doing a project at uni trying to design some bolt on portal axles, just getting my head in the game and learning what is already out there, does anyone know what truck these simca's are from?
Something like this - a Simca Marmon

Give Brian at Tonks 4x4 in mansfield/notts area a call, he's built with them before and thats where ripley's axles came from

Not as much a adam did.
:rofl: :rofl: -
Love it!
Had a chav tastic duo tailgating me today while I was in the JCB, that back acter came very close to them as they overtook me as I was turning in left!
Evolution is good, but why do these idiots replicate!?
-
That's a pretty good price for a pair of Landcruiser axles and a tonne of scrap to weigh in...
:hysterical: -

Tuesday arrives, new starter motor does not. Spends the day recovering toolbox contents from undergrowth in garden. Very impressed with how far I had flung my half-inch ratchet.
very very funny, you'd make a lemming proud, maybe you'd be safer with one of these though..... -
anyway that TD5 is such waste.. i bet that doesnt make much.
Its up at £2,550 with 10 bids and 5 days left to run!
Maybe the TV camera's will be there when the unlucky begger bidder comes to collect it!

Hhhhhhmmmmm, any msa sctrutineers wanna comment on this

Give protection and performance a ring
Cheers, sorted, called Dan @ Protection and Performance, nice knowledgeable chap
Blueband 48mm x 3.2mm = 3.56 kg/lm (roughly £6.50/lm)
CDS: 50.8mm x 12 gage = 3.141 kg/lm (roughly £9/lm)
CDS: 38mm = 2.309 kg/lm (roughly £9/lm)
T45 50mm x 14 gage = 2.44 kg/lm (roughly £21/lm or £14/lm for a german equivalent all certed up)
Jobs a good 'un then!

Steel weighs give or take 7850kg per cubic metre. Now go get your "O" level (GCSE?) maths books out and work out the volume per metre for each tube.
Oh, and show all your working too...
What? You want an example to follow? OK, so here goes:
Blueband - 48 x 3.2
Using A = pi x r2where r = D/2
A = pi x (242 - (24 - 3.2)2 ) = 450mm2.
For a metre length the volume of material = A x 1000mm = 450,000mm3.
Steel density = 7,850kg/m3 and 1m3 = 1,000,000,000mm3 = 109mm3
So, the mass of the tube per metre = 7,850 x 450,000 / 109 = 3.53kg/m.
Voila!
Cheers!
My calcs get it as 3.56 kg/m for blueband, must be a rounding error......
Any ideas on the equivalent tube section for a T45 main hoop?
-
Hi,
I've tried the search feature but couldnt find what I was after so here goes......
Does anyone know the weight per metre of rollcage tubing in the following ingredients:
Blueband: 48x3.2mm
CDS Clubman 500: 50.8 mmx 2.64mm & 44.45mm CDS
T45: the equivalent of the above, not sure what diameter/wall thickness you would use for a main hoop (!)
Thanks!

Now where can I get a set of those arches!!!!!!
-
A V8 is always going to be lighter, it's got more holes in it
Mo
I'll buy that kinda logic!!!!!
-
Does anyone happen to know the weight of a TDV8.....
Might need one for the new toy soon
-
As long as there's a few 3.6 TDV8's around for me to stick one in my toy!!
