Hi there,
New to the forum and on my second Land Rover incarnation, my first was in my teens, when my first car was an old 80 which I followed up with a 2a 88 diesel, which gave way to more conventional machinery, then along came marriage family and Land Rovers, were put on the back burner. Some 40+ years later I finally found myself in a position to get another one and rather blindly went for a 1978 88" petrol canvas tilt, which looked pretty but has since been found to be rather more needy than I originally thought.
Hence my first post: One of the many disappointments was to find, having taken off the modular wheels and hubcaps to replace them with conventional wheels and 750X16 tyres, that I had a conventional front hub on the nearside, but a Fairey free wheel hub on the offside!
So I would welcome any advice as to what I need to do to return the offside wheel to a conventional hub, in terms of the work involved and the parts needed.
So I would love to hear from you more seasoned Series 3 veterans as to what I need to do.
Many thanks
