Why can 1 bolt cause so much stress
Putting the radius arms on, one bolt was quarter of a hole out on the front axle bolts, even after the rear bolt was in. Managed in the end and front suspension back together but still putting the brake pipes tight so need to re assess that.
Can anyone see what we did wrong with this?
Oops!!!!!
Well it's back on all 4 wheels now
Can anyone tell me how easy it would be to fit a 300 series Disco plastic fuel tank as I have been given one?

If anybody would like the trailing arms and radius arms that I have taken off then I have put them on ebay. I may end early for the right price.

A evening tinkering
Roads were quite at 8.45 tonight, can't think why
I sorted a few bits out of the rangy so I can lift the floor to get the tank in and the engine swapped.
Thought I would try and fit the Disco plastic tank.
Hmm, don't fit
Don't fit because it's a Defender tank
So the cradle and tank strap that is on its way is useless sod it, eBay buy it now £24 delivered that will do.
I am getting grief from the boss to shift the SE shell before harvest so as it was a nice sunny evening I started to strip what was left on the SE.
Not much left now, I will get the gas out at the weekend and chop it up, great way to chill out.

Bit of tidying and prep work for tomorrow. Fetched the beautiful working 3.5 which was an hour away. Who knew that a V8 could fit in the boot of a D1 with the seats up
Big push tomorrow, hopefully time to take some photos

So to take the wiper motor off the roof is in the way
And to take the roof of the wiper motor is in the way
I love the logic of Land Rover

Hard decision to make.
Propane or Acetylene to cut the shell?

Quite a lot done today, with a little helpful hand from Killajoules..
Firstly I finished plumbing the sink in
Then I cut the SE up.
With that done it was time to start the engine transfer
Fly wheel off to get to the leaky crank seal
Apart from a tidy up well decided to leave the replacement V8 till next week.

Such a lovely night tonight and the wife picking up the boy I had some time to tinker.
I took the starting gear, flex plate and other bit's that I don't know there name off the crank.
Then, in a moment of madness I decided to steam clean the engine
Pic's before
And with the engine over a drain I could begin
20 minutes later
And I got drowned
Nice box of shiny things on the mat when I got home so the crank seal, flywheels and clutches can go on the engines to clear a shelf in the workshop.
