disco_al Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Basically, are there any? Can a RRC chassis fit under a disco 1 shell? I can't find anyone that makes a disco 1 galvanised chassis, but i can find a RRC one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landy-Novice Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 try calling richards chassis or designa chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't think there are any, you could have a look in the RAVE for both and see if there's any difference, but I'm willing to bet it'll even be the same drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_teunico Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I allways heard that exhaust pipe brackets were the only difference, but have never seen a pair of them side by side to confirm that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 If the exhaust brackets are supposedly different, why not check part No. for exhausts and cross ref them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Early RRC chassis have different damper configuration on the rear, one forward, one back, but I think the holes are there for either. Very late RRCs have their front shocks outside the springs, can't remember if the bracketry for them is welded or bolted to the chassis. I'm sure Richards would be able to advise, and potentially build to spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Disco 300 chassis on eBay, doesn't say whether its new though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DISCOVERY-300TDI-GALV-GALVANISED-CHASSIS-/160988432126?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item257ba886fe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyninety Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 RRC and Disco 1 chassis are the same. (except the early 3 door RRC's with the rear shock behind the axle, however drilling some holes sorts that out, its the only difference.) RRC's fitted with air suspension on the front had outboard front shocks and had brackets to suit, however the spring hanger is the same. But i am unsure whether it is drilled to take a turret. 8 holes drilled and it'd be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
