treebloke Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Can you make a 110 into a 130. Its only a longer chassis/prop/wiring (assuming its a chasss cab) but have never seen the extra 20" for sale anywhere. Would it need an SVA.

Ian M Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 the centre section out of an old chassis would do the job, i think the early 130's where stretched 110 chassis' when they came out of land rover, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian M Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 was banned from the unit today, , but i still managed to slip down there for an hours or two wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The 130's have an extra plate on the bottom of the chassis that runs from the front spring mount to the rear one i think, its typical landrover as it blocks all the drain holes bar one or two so then water gets between the plates and they start to rot. I would just get some box and make the extension out of that, make the strengthening plates internal and flush your welds off and you wouldnt be able to tell it had been stretched unless you had it galvenised. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 theres only 1 problem, you cant get box section the same size as land rover chassis. i had to have mine made up by 2 L-shapes and then weld them together, thats why i suggested the centre straight bit from another chassis.

western Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just sell the 110 & buy a 130, only the earlier 127's had a factory converted chassis, later 130 has a full length production standard chassis without any extension bits welded in.

tacr2man Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Foley can do it for you , if you do it yourself , will need sva (chassis mod) and will need structural engineer report . IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sheet metal shop should have no trouble bending up a couple of shallow U sections, then you could weld them in the middle just like a factory jobby. You would also need to sleeve the joint & puddle weld the sleeve to the outer skin to give full strength. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Bought a 1898 127 over the weekend, and the V5c states it is a 110 SW. Weight and MTM restrictions as per 110 SW as well... The chassis does 'feature' the boxed plates though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Bought a 1898 127 over the weekend, <snip> at 110 years old, does that classify as a vintage or veteran 130 ?? AFAIK, all the factory jobs are a 110 chassis with a cut and shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Tonkin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 By a new galv 130 chassis from Marchland or Richards and a new prop. Then rebuild Re-assembly is simply reversal of removal.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean f Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Would this need SVA?. Simple as yes it should, but it should be basic as everything is factory standard so SHOULD pass. You would also need to check if you could keep the reg or need a Q plate, you can replace a chassis with a NEW chassis of the same spec (galvanising is just a coating so doesn't effect the spec. I can remember the points system but you should be OK provided the rest is origional parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 AFAIK, all the factory jobs are a 110 chassis with a cut and shut. Nope, only upto a certain date, after that SV was far to busy to convert 110's to 127 that it became a full production line chassis with full length [no joins] main rails, a friend had a A reg that started life at Solihull as a in build 110SW it left as a converted to 127, you can see the chassis insert very easily, his current 130 [ex-rapier missle tractor] has a full [no joins] chassis & that's on a year of build 1989 reg plate.
