SwiftTheLandRover Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hello again, will be posting pics soon but have been busy, taking the front wings off my 1951 s1 80" i realize that the frame damage is far worse that I Thought it was, and the rebuild done 30 years ago was not done correctly, 1/2'' longer on one side and makes the drivers side sag considerably, possibly looking at cutting off the problem area and rebuilding it back to proper specs, I am located in Florida in the USA and don't have access to surplus frames or parts, where would I be able to find blueprints or other design components to fabricate the damaged part? many thanks.

missingsid Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hi, All the important dimensions are in the factory Series 1 workshop manual. Any others you should be able to get from your existing chassis I would have thought. Someone is bound to say 1/2 an inch over the engine is factory tolerances!

soutie Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 You can get the workshop manual off amazon in the USA. See snapshot below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I've got a couple of 80" here unrestored with original chassis metal (not all still there ...) so I could give you some ref. dimensions if you can provide pic's and sketches . Is yours narrow front springs or the later wide type ? Steve Edited February 5, 2022 by steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
