Right sorry for the lack of updates recemtly guys
Now its time for the front axle swap
First I had to rip the old axle off before dropping the new one on
Next get the new axle into position so I could set up the radius arms
Once I had measured out the position and checked the geometry against my D2 I tacked the tubes for the bolts under the chassis to hold the arms in place
Once that was done I gusseted the tubes and then started to build up the chassis boxes for the arms
#overkill
The passenger side was the easy one the drivers ide I had to work around the fuel tank and arc weld the upper top join to the chassis as the mig wouldnt fit in But all joins are welded inside and out so plenty of strength
So once the axke was all welded in it was internals time first the diff and then these beauties
A bit of a comparison old and new
They only Just fit
So then it was just build up the bearings, brakes and swap some more wheels over and shes done
I have fitted an adjustable panhard to sort out the width after the lift and probably need a D2 HD track bar as I dont feel theres enough threads left in the 90 one for the strength I want but apart from that it was actually easier than the rear to set up
Lockers are now all plummed into a GP air manimanifold to keep everything tidy, ive just got to source an air tank fir a reserve and some more screws for my rapto dash but she is now ready to play this weekend to see what shes made of
Just need 37's now

Oh one thing you might be able to answer!
What the panard and front steering arms lengths like, are they the same as d1/fender?
Cheers
Top job btw!!!

Panhard is 90 but the bolt holes in the D2 axle are bigger so you have to bush the holes to fit 90 panhard.
Steering rod ive used 90 will see how it goes saturday
As far as im concerned its just the track rod that needs to be longer

Nice one mate .. need pit crew? Need a fair bit of notice, mind ..
Thought you'd got some Trepadors sorted .. or do you mean another set, maybe 40" ????
Haha a helping hand is always appreciated
No not yet im deliberating between 35's and 37's
37's would be better tyres but I would be massively over geared and puts alot more stress on everything
35's loose me 1 inch clearance but will fit better. Take less driving. Put less stress on and are £80 cheaper per tyre
Plus me having a 90 instead of the usual 100 inch means my break over angle is already better than most
Going to call jim in the morning and get them sorted anyway
