chrism Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Afternoon all I have a disco chassis which is having a defender body grafted onto it. Would someone be able to tell me how far the front bulkhead mounts are supposed to be from a certain point, either spring mounts or radius arm mounts. Quite a critical dimension as everything else is worked from that. Unfortunately I dont have a defender to hand to measure it off! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault4 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 ok just took a couple of measurements first one is from the back edge of the spring mount (The bit that the turret bolts on to) to the front edge of the bulkhead out rigger (with the tape measure touching the edge of the main chassis rail. 385 mm. if you plonk the outrigger on this mark then the other measurement should tally from the back edge of the outrigger to the end of the thread on the radius arm 206 mm. hope this helps.

Briarston Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 May help as a double check. In Mark Evans' "A 4x4 is Born" dvd, he shows a measurement of 25mm. from a crossmember bolt which he says is in the same position on 90's & RRC's possibly Disco also?

landy V8 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 as "Briarston" states.there are 2 bolts at the top of the gearbox x-member,measure 25mm forward from the centre of the front bolt.the rear vertical face of the new outrigger is where it sits. i'll take a pic of mine tomorrow as i'm building a 100" disco trayback.
