ajh Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 As the topic says I am looking for some good quality photos of a 110 rolling chassis being assembled. Just about to start bolting things back together and having something as a reference might help prevent me from putting something on backwards (sorry, I did not take enough photos when I was taking it down because I just did not plan on going quite this deep into a restoration and now it has been awhile and being in Canada it is non-trivial to just go find a 110 to peek under, most people will have put theirs away for the winter now and there are only a handful to start). Thanks, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 As the topic says I am looking for some good quality photos of a 110 rolling chassis being assembled. You will find some on my web site, but whether detailed enough or of the right thing is a whole different ball game. My 110 is about 5 miles away in a workshop so I can take more picture if it will help. Have a look at My website, and ask for the originals or for new pictures to be taken. Good luck as my rebuild has slowed down to glacial speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Very helpful, Thanks! I really envy you guys, if you forget a part or need a new one you can have it in a day or two... Chassis took me 5 months to get, and a pile of other things 2-3 months. Must sort out something better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Very helpful, Thanks! Chassis took me 5 months to get, and a pile of other things 2-3 months. My chassis took 2 months to arrive, rear quarter panels were completely unobtainable from my usual sources and it was only when Ralph gave me a different supplier did I get any! Used doors also came from the forum after eBay only offered rubbish, so I'm not sure that being in the UK is a complete panacea. My truck is being done as an apprentice job and the apprentice keeps going to college! As a busy agricultural engineers, my truck gets done last, as I cannot claim the stock will suffer of my livelihood is in danger. I'm going to have to get obnoxious as otherwise I'm looking at another very cold February in a Morgan! As for the something better, I can act as a dead letter box if that will help?

ajh Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sounds familiar, I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why the front suspension bolt kit from Paddocks just did not fit. Turns out that I had forgotten that in the process I swapped in a D1 axle housing which of course uses the "Wide" radius arms vs the "Narrow" ones that were on there before. This combined with the extra thickness of the dual front shock mount (just mounting one per side for now, outboard) and what were supposed to be radius arm bolts were just too short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badger Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have some good stage shots in previous posts. Built mine from the chassis up so please just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 My current confusion is attaching the steering box to the panhard bar mount bracket, the two parts came separate in my order and on my old RHD steering box they clearly fit together and have a locating recess, on the new one the bent tie bar is much thicker (which I just discovered when I tried to fit bolts purchased by measuring those of the old one) there is no centre locating bump and there is clearly slack for the arm to move around on the steering box and in the panhard rod bracket even once washers and bolts are in place... is this normal/intentional?

I don't know if you have the genuine workshop manuals, or if they'd even help, but either way, they're here if you want them: http://miro.pet.cam.ac.uk/~ajc219/land-rover/ Cheers, AndyC.

ajh Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Yeah, the diagrams are not accurate to what the new box looks like... why they did not just bolt it on properly before sending it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
