dangerous doug Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I’m pretty sure søren had some nice tyres on his mog that had some side wall flex. Rather large though but maybe kill 2 birds with one stone if your still looking at gearing issues😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 So Sid on bump stops, some work to do to the front to reduce bump stop height, could get away on off side but near side needs the sump removing and trimmed to stop single link catching, not a big job Near side single link arm Off side Regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used 7.50 dumper tyres when I did modified trials, brilliant grip though not so good on side slopes, side walls will be very stiff on bigger sizes Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Couple of things, if any of you have 17" steel rims could I get a measurement of the internal diameter of the rim from the inside edge, also Willwood calipers, are they physically smaller than disco rears, from what I've been looking at some of their calipers curve around with the disc which seems to make them fit in tighter spaces , also a measurement from the disc edge to the farthest part of the caliper from the disc would be good I'm asking because the inside diameter of a disco 1 alloy is not that far from going over the disco caliper set up I have, 17 inch rim will not go over the mog steering housing but sacrificing a wee bit of width to gain better tyre selection is a compromise I could live with Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 16” wolf rim just clears the portal box and a comparison of calipers (defender front, D2 front and Wilwood. Wilwood offered up on the set up. Can’t comment on the 17s but you’ll get an additional 12mm of clearance 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 @Stellaghost if you want a couple of Wilwoods to measure up I *may* have some lightly and no-so-lightly used ones knocking around. They're pretty compact as Dangerous Doug's picture shows, and mine have proven reliable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Another question, has anyone made their own beadlocks ??s thinking about it just wondered if anyone else has done it Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Plenty of peeps have, just not sure about it on this forum, in the states it is a common thing, and you can buy weld on beadlock rings for not much cash. But the carriage over here could be ruinous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 They are just a ring with holes in them mate. Some have a bead of their own for a bit more calming and others have a bit more steel on the back so they don’t deform when you do the bolts up. did find these which are the most complex weld on ones I’ve seen and look pretty good https://www.advancedmechanics.se/lang-EN/shop/product/beadlock-16-super-drain?tm=accessories-in-general/beedlocks another way you could do it is to cut your wheels in half, weld a pare of bolt rings in and have a spacer tube in the middle to make a crude double beadlock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Been having a bit more think about this, with a bit of modification to my flat bar roller, I could roll some flat bar end on into a circle to form the basis of my weld on section and clamp, sounds good in theory anyway Regards Stephen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Daan Posted June 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2023 John Sales made these double bead locks for me to do Ladoga: He essentially cut a 15" modular type wheel in half and welded the bolt rings in to create a split rim. A 16" PVC tube was used to clamp the beads together, and a large O ring meant for a manhole cover was used to seal the 2 halves. Very effective and cheap, I aired down to 2 PSI to drive the swamps. I can design the bolt rings for you on CAD to get them water cut if you want me to. Daan 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan That is a very generous offer Daan, something that I might come back to..... If you don't mind I am going to cobble something together myself first just because I like to see if I can do it with the gear I've got, if you know what I mean Thank you regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
