I'm changing bearings like-for-like, so bearings i'm getting timken ones, if they are available.
Yeah. There's a certain satisfaction when everything is clean and working. Nothing quite like the feeling when everything stays on when you test it.

I started mine at the beginning of the year. Clean and working should be about 2510 by my reckoning.

I get round to most things eventually. Just last month the Mrs asked me to hang a picture. All I have left is to find a nail and hammer.
Oh and its a He. 'Henry'.
Oh and a tip. Dont name yours until at least the fifth month. By then it will have told you its name.

Well, it is, but on the site it was advertised as (i think) Bearmach or summet. They might have been packed in these boxes, not actually britpart though.

Sounds like a Britpart part
Better get customizing it to fit. I was lucky with my rear cross member. Got it from Paddocks and it fell on.

After a considerable amount of f*cking about, shouting, swearing, grinding, and welding, i got it to fit.Sounds like a Britpart part

Had to part the chassis rails with a jack, cut the corners of the U section the X member gives you, cut down the ends of the now flaps, cut off exhaust brackets, (have a coffee break) and drill out a hole for the internal wires.
A long and arduous clusterf*** of f***ed upness, i got it to fit. I think the person who made this X member only had a 3 year old's drawing of a land rover to go off.

For god's sake, i said that, uploaded them to photobucket and never added them here! Sorry.
Quickly burning through the welding rods!
There we have it. No pics of the X member yet, should have them tomorrow. Again, apologies for lack of pics.
