need4speed Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 A friend suggested he fancied making a trailer using the rear of a 110.. Now im sure ive seen that exact thing somewhere so had a little search but i cant find anything. I cant remember if it was even in the uk. Can someone shed some light...

L19MUD Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I have done exatly the same thing but with a 109 . . I cut the chassis off flush with the front of the rear tub and then welded on an A frame. I then took the half shafts and diff out, then welded a cap over the end of the diff case. Another option would be to do away with the 110 axle and put indespention units on it as the land rover axle is quite heavy (and uses hydraulic brakes) whilst the indespention units would be able to be used with normal cable trailer brakes. I didnt bother with brakes on mine as I use it as a camping trailer with minimal stuff in and so it is under 750kg's If you wanted to run with the 110 axle I'm sure it would be possible to modify the braking setup from a late sankey trailer. The hydraulic brakes work really well on these. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Some clubs have trailers made out of the rear tub of a 90, series 2 etc... Not seen a 110 one. Here is a series one version: http://www.cascadiaclassic.com/landrovera.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 Do you have any idea which clubs use the 90 one? I imagine it would be very similar work to making a 110 one. Nice pic of the series trailer btw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBMUD Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Not wishing to rain on the parade, but making such a trailer legal might pose some problems. Nothing insurmountable but potentially expensive compared to the cost of just finding an old 110. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris The legal issues are avoidable by not using the rear axle or the chassis, both of which would be impractical anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
