Gazzar Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 27 minutes ago, western said: In fact the original transfer box principle, albeit without permanent four-wheel drive, dates back to the Series I of 1948. mentioned in https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/land-rover/range-rover/100624/lt230-the-best-ever-transfer-box The original series 1 did have permanent four wheel drive, didn't it? There was an issue with the cost and availability of the tracta-joints in the front axle, so they switched to selectable and UJs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Excellent pictures, thank you. The only thing I could say, with your animation vid, if the time for each part being added was a touch longer. but great work none the less. Now you just have to do one with Ashcroft ATB and one with MaxiDrive low range gears 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Series 1 had a freewheel unit that could be engaged/disengaged by pulling a ring pull wire that came through the floor plate IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the R looks a better design (much more bearing surface, larger pin to spread load on casing) but I'm no gearboxologist. Roller bearings can NOT take axial loads. Tappered bearings can. Since the gears are helical cut, axial loads will result. With the R Type these forces are taken by thrust washers which are not on the picture. The construction is a lot easier to build and cheaper in T type. The bigger problem is, that the casing should be sleeved, since the shaft is thinner in T type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Sleeving shafts in ally should be best practice, I'd have thought. But I'm not an engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I'm quite surprised by the results myself TBH.... On 2/22/2020 at 3:07 PM, western said: Super photo's would look great printed on glossy photo paper & hung on garage wall. I spent some time looking into that today, it might be possible. The site where I keep my photos can enable visitors to order quality prints through a UK company. Never looked into it before, I should do some more research before setting this up. If people are interested I can look further into it. The images are fairly hi-res and prints up to 30" would still look OK, the water marks wouldn't end up on the hardcopies of course. The larger part of today was spent on further tweaking the photos and making some variants, I'm quite stoked with these 😃 and a slower gif 😉 Greetings, Joris 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 If only to avoid hanging things on the wall, I'd buy a T-Shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigi_H Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) If the T-Shirt is as animated, as the pic above ... I take onehundred! 😂 Edited February 24, 2020 by Sigi_H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
