Been out to start on the landy drive problem but it was honking doon im not getting soaked. So went shopping.
Its always the same when you buy a landy you dont know whats been done to it...
I do wonder what people think about when building landys, everyone has different opinions on whats best lol
Convert a D1 to take a td5, modify a both axles with hd diff pans & rear diff air locker using 10 spline shafts instead of the
more robust 24 spline diffs & shafts. ??
Then only have hi low on the box & remove the centre diff lock mech unless its got an AATB centre diff ??
Got no drive out the rear of the transfer box, with the engine running & in any gear including 4th
front prop spins with no drive to the wheels, need to manually put it in diff lock later & see what happens.
Both rear half shafts have some damage, pinon shaft not damaged but there is a bit of play that I dont like.
I do have a full set of 24 spline shafts n diffs so I can see them getting fitted & get shot of the 10 spline ones.
An sing along now...........OH WHAT FUN WE HAVE........ LA,LA,LA, LA LA LA, LA.....

The "Pedal Car of Doom" is being picked up from me tomorrow. 
Upgrades/repairs I have made for them include:
1. New upgraded kingpins and kingpin sleeves.
2. Crush-tubes in the front hubs to hold the inner races of the bearings apart/in position.
3. Proper "stand-offs" for the inner race's of the bearings on the axles.
4. A totally new and spiffy trackrod with RH & LH threaded rose-joints to adjust toe-in/out properly.
Cost to me... £30+ in parts etc. plus several hours of my time (SWMBO is NOT impressed).
Cost to the 4th Thorpe-bay scout group £0.
I suppose it is a bit like doing"community service".
