At last one of em bites. Took yer time. Was a lot easier in the durdy tratter boy section.
Got a P38 myself. 4.6HSE. Its a metal cast model thing about 10 inches long. Quite life like too. Racing green. Beige leffer interior. Fails to start. Electrics dont work. Been off the road longer than I remember. Dont think itll ever work.
The bolt does up tight enough to hold, but don't think it would hold the prop turning wiffout the splines in it. Same for attaching something. Bolting a bracket round the vcu would work though.could yu attach a plate onto the VCU with that bolt or clamp a bar a cross it?
Shorry, didn't mean to offend.wow change my quote to suit your needs!! if your smart enough to do that how did you end up driving a Freelander???? lol!!
is this the key used for winding up your gaylander??? he he he!!
Agreed. Measuring at the vcu is the best option. But can't see many owners doing this for a comparison. Sadley getting a socket on the nut which holds the prop on to the vcu isn't possible. Isn't enough room. You can just about get a spanner on it. Poking a long screw driver through would perhaps be betterer as the nut is only done up to 65Nm.that has to be the best place to mount something to measure the VCU torque tho.
just a thought - can yu get a socket onto the bolt head? if so - torque wrench or bar and spring in there, with rear of prop removed?
is this the key used for winding up your Freelander??? he he he!!
Yep. Doubles up as the Kers, and the rear prop is also removed as this is the main drive connection for the PTO.Nar! - its the Kers, int it Hippo?
Could be the way foprward.spring balance on the end of a spanner of determinate length?
I filmed a torque test directly on the vcu when I last took it off. Will find the video tonight and see how many seconds, weight and what bar length used.Only one way to find out?
Remove rear prop and see how much is needed to move the vcu.....
Excuse my ignorance, but what is a "tratter boy"?
Are they anything like a "petshop boy"?
Just curious...
