Ur not wrong there , thought I had a decent set when I had the hippo but soon realised I need to some real grown up tools, lol

Got some longer spanner and dumpy sockets , put an ordinary spanner in the pic as a comparison

Uj sockets also handy

Just make sure ur house has a nice garage and a post lift , not that I would ever wish to try and cadge to borrow it mind ,

Bloody hell thats blown some!!!!!

Day off today so trying to get a lot done!

First up A Bar welded up :D

20180725_094220.jpg


All welded up and ready for a lick of CIO basecoat. I had them weld in a bar at the rear too so I can choose to mount my lights where ever, also adds a little strength

Dropped off the landy for the AC to be checked/repaired depending on whats wrong with it.... Hope its an easy fix!!

Soon as I get it back straight onto fitting the slotted discs! Hopefully be done by 7pm :)
 
Bad news from the AC check. New condensor needed (no shock really as mines rotten) leaking heavily from both seals and missing 60% of the cores.

£350 supply and fit a new one aint bad at all imo!

Fitted with x2 M12s bolted through and will be fitted with x2 M10s and a rivnut (youd need very bendy child hands to get in there otherwise!) Should hold it enough.
 
Got the slotted front discs fitted aswell, pretty basic job took about an hour per side.

Splitting the disc from the hub

Drifted on with my new rawhide hammer (for work actually but perfect for this!)

Good trick a mate taught me when torqueing up discs, makes it a very simple job. Added some high strength loctit for good measure.

20180725_155940.jpg


Got rid of the awful "mud guards" all ive gound they do is trap ****, score the discs and make a god awful noise. Skip for them. Cleaned up the area a touch, also noticed a bit of play in the swivel bearings :confused::confused: dropped two shims and all gone :D

Thought because of urs being expensive it may of been a special one , as my ac condenser was only around £90

Bumper is Looking good by the way :)

Hi mate

They should stop u and looks good mate , test is in the pudding so to speak ,

Have u tried ceramic brake grease , lol
 
So,

Did you put the discs on the right way for the slots to work?

Cheers

Yeah as far as I can tell, each disc was labelled left and right, took that to mean right is drivers side, left passenger side.

Do not forget to tighten this up....

That is tight! lol it was loosened again after I found play in the swivels but I'll double check now! Thanks :)

Yes based of yours and others recommendations! I can only assume the rears are squeaking...

Reason I went for the slotted discs is the standard discs while 'fine' did have a few grooves in them and you could feel they where not at all flat. That plus 80% of my driving is on reasonable fast country lanes for around 80 miles a day in a near fully loaded landy so seemed like a sensible upgrade to me and not just bling.

I quite like the bumper too, its very close to what I was after just a little beefier, should look better with a few spots and the winch fitted. Which I hope to get for a decent price at Kelmarsh this weekend! :D
 
Make sure you have enough space to fit the lights and the winch, iirc we covered this before..

Will look better with the winch fitted. You going rope or wire?

Cheers

We have covered it. If I get the lights I want they should fit, though all suppliers are out and not restocking! I have however found the OE in China which will sell them direct shipped for the same price so thats fine by me. Though I will see if anyone has them at the show.

Plan was to fit 4, at "5 each and a little spacing they should fit fine.

As for winch my choice atm is the Winchmax "military" version. IP68 (apparently) plasma rope, wireless, fairlead and a bag of goodies £429 usually again hopefully a show discount :)
