I was concerned about land rover axles used in amphibious vehicle... Dem things are gonna be full in no time!!!

 

[Amphermiser]

Well i never!

What the hell are you going to use that for?!

Well I work in Portsmouth and I live on the isle of Wight, and I a fed up with the ferries and the lack of choice on times etc.... so I decided to change that.
It has developed along the way in to a lot more than that so in time I want it to do the channel crossing and we will see what else.

Most expensive ferry crossing in the Country I have heard..

I plan to fill the axels with grease, and have spare axels, as I realise she will get through wheel bearings, often, and I dont want to have to change bearings over a weekend. It will be a lot easier to swap the axels.

If the engine, gearbox and all other oil filled components leak like mine to create a pink Floyd stylee slick anywhere you go?:confused2:

Lol, she has to have a dual sump to be used in inshore waters, so she is not allowed to leak in this environment. Well I hope she wont.

Really ????? You can do the wheels bearing in about 30mins each corner, changing the axle is a lot more more and they arent exactly light lol.

No I agree but, dont forget she will be in salt water and this may add extra issues.
I have redesigned the rear suspension set up and this will allow me to remove it easier.

Just put in my 12v splitter and also ordered a phone charger to go in the usb slot.

Next mod will be LED clock bulb and dash lights, anyone know what bulb they are without me removing the bit of dash.

That looks a cool piece of kit for few pennies. What's the quality like ?

The quality is surprising actually, I have my sat nav and my shooting lamp plugged in. The LED's are red when off and then flick it to on and they go blue. The switches are good quality and it works perfectly. Its quite bright as well at night. I was impressed

Just trying to figure out the best way of neatening the wires. Might drill a small hole at the top of the dash under the rubber thing in the middle that I chuck my lose change on and feed the sat nav under the dash up through the small hole in the top and into the sat nav.

Just an update to some mods I've done lately.

Full led kit installed, Centre console heat controls, clock and instrument panel.

Just a plug in 12v splitter with switches to control sat nav lamp and phone charger

Small temperate gauge slotted into side trim up the pillar by the windscreen.

Does that take the place from the ciggerrate lighter or is it just plugged into the ciggereate lighter?

How easy was it to fit them led lights

 

[Tuskenraider]

I bought this little lot

and did this with most of it

Just need to fit it on the dash.

Love it but haven't I seen that idea somewhere before? Is it for internal or external temperatures?

How hard was it to put it in? Saw it on your thread, liked the idea myself.

Dead easy. Used a Dremel to cut the hole. Shoved the probe somewhere. It's battery powered but with no illumination. Costs a couple of quid delivered.

I ordered mine earlier today after seeing yours

Any ideas where the prob ended up? Did you zip tie it somewhere?

The probe for the lower thermometer (interior temp) is the silver bit just below the thermometer. The upper thermometer (exterior temp) sits in the crease where to OS A pillar meets the roof line. Out of the wind (chill) so gives a stable reading when moving.
