Stellaghost Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 A bit more progress, would have been more if lathe clutch hadn't decided to stop working Outside finished and bored out to 70mm switched around and faced off, just the two different bore sizes to do and lathe work will be finished on this one Regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous doug Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 Managed to get some time in the workshop today and an issue I’ve been fearing is worse that I thought…I knew I would have to shave some of the diff away to fit a spring perch….but not quite this much so do I continue to pursue the plan of putting these under the leafer and chop the axle case about, fit the mog end flanges to a landrover axle case or just give up all together with this idea and fit them to the 110? I know it won’t hurt the case too much and the cut will be boxed in but not sure I can bring myself to “ruin” one of these cases thoughts?

Mike Interestingly this brings us to todays development! I went out to measure the pinion angle on the lightweight and while doing it thought “it’s a bit crusty under here!” Tacked the spring perch on and went back out to really sum what I plan to Achieve. In short, I don’t have time. It needs a full rebuild and as much as I would like to do that I have a mini that I’m restoring(neglecting), a 110 sitting and doing nothing, house things and that annoying thing between it all called work.I think the best plan of action is put the axles under the 110 which is 90% there as a challenge tuck.with Time, cost and performance it’s a no brainier. anyway, obviously not a lot to show for today. Did tack on the rear perches but there’s no point showing that. I did fire the tig up for the first time in ages to weld a drain bung in(I’m rusty as hell so be kind) turns out the oil cooler fittings are the same size as the filler bungs…..clearly I had none to hand so this was handy also managed to pull 2 hubs off (if you know you know) so I can start looking at different disks for the conversion. At the moment it’s between disco2 and some Toyota 6stud variant. Plan is to machine the flange off, square off the blue part of the hub, drill the pcd into that and make a spacer of the same pcd to allow the correct back spacing for the disk There is a win win ish scenario though, if I can find a photo of it….. many years ago in the Tay forest challenge, maybe Argyll challenge, there was a white “thing” which I think was known as the frog. It was basically a coiler platform with a lightweight front end. I remember liking it but can’t find any photos of it to confirm. Anyone remember it?

dangerous doug Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Bit done this weekend concerning the brake conversion. First idea was using a d2 brake disc, this would work but it means machining every disc and a custom set of wheels which isn’t what I want to do. Then thought about a 2 piece disk, this is fairly expensive but would would probably be the best way to do it... About 5am in the morning I realised I don’t actually need the 2 piece disc. I already have a mounting flange in the hub! Little searching and I found a cheap ish disc that fit the hub almost perfectly. Have a good friend with a lathe who was kind enough to let me use it…..he then got interested and cut it all down himself😂 done These were not as hard as I was lead to believe so squaring off the hub faces to enable me to run an adapter to suit the LR bolt pattern wasn’t a problem. At the moment the plan is to machine the bearing surfaces off of a landrover hub and bolt that to the mog hub. It will be retained by the 5 bolts to the flange and the large mog hub nut. hub on disc on have a few mounting options to adjust back spacing it looks like space is going to be an issue and I may have to use a non landrover calliper for this. I wanted to avoid that for parts availability but it is what it is. Maybe the d2 sliding calliper is an option. Have also thought about putting 2 rear callipers on but not sure about that while I was there I was able to spin up the controversial aluminium track rod. I’m told there have been no failures with these and they have a bit of flex when smacked …..which is a good thing I guess……we shall see. I’ll make the drag link when I know how long it needs to be first time I’ve operated a lathe in about 17 years and the final result This has really hilighted my need for a lathe, seems to be a bit of a minefield when it comes to buying second hand. Looking at something like a Colchester student or a Harrison m300. Anything else I should be looking for? If anyone knows of a decent slim ish calliper I’m all ears cheers Doug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
