Retroanaconda Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 There's something quite...special about an old series Land Rover on leaf springs. I chuckle when I see them on new vehicles from other makes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveSIIA Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Nice work, looks solid enough and unlikely to fail. A quick thought though - are you sticking with the 110 swivel housings and the track rod behind the axle? If so, isn't there a risk that the track rod would want to pass through the nose of the diff now that the castor angle has been corrected?

Les Henson Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 I've spoken to a local engineering company and they say that they can make me a suitable link rod with the correct threaded ends for 'about £200'. I don't like altering or modifying steering, so I'll go with that. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
