Arjan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I may change the 300 Tdi with the R380 (Td5) for a Mazda that comes with the LT85 Are the gear levers in a totally different place or will I be able to re-use / modify the R380 (Td5) tunnel ? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I have an LT85 in mine and it looks more or less the same. Maybe the tunnel moulding (its plastic or glassfibre) is a bit bigger as the LT85 is a bit more bulky ? I think Miketomcat made one for someone a while ago. Might still have the mould. I imagine a "proper" one might be hard to get nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 @FridgeFreezer had an lt85 tunnel in his ambulance with an r380 gearbox. I made a new r380 tunnel for him. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank your government and the EU for that one ! Its not from this end. Politics. Arrrrrrrrgh ! LT85 ? Top gear is slightly lower than an R380/LT77, but with that engine I think you would want to change the transfer box ratio anyway. They say its stronger, but I cannot vouch for that. It IS noisier, but the diesel will drown that out, and they tend to wear the shaft bearings a whine a bit. Gearchange is fine for me, but then I am used to driving heavier vehicles, dont notice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our Goverment's fault for wanting out! They're just applying the rules to anyone outside the EU... as they would have done before to other countries outside of the EU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Goedeavond, Sorry for the delay but I'm en route. You're an ACE !!!!! Please let me know what sort of money you'd like for it - and would you be willing to post it towards Bristol ? I'll be in the UK it seems later this year but with a 18 tonnes truck so detouring is not easy.... Again, many thanks !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 It’s I. The for sale section price wise I don’t mind really. Was trying to see what it was worth but if you need one cover postage and give some money to the forum ? There is a nimble in it so check the description.
