I snagged this military 4 pin centre by swapping some parts with James Martin (had a good old chin wag too!). It's away being rebuilt with a 3.8 KAM crownwheel & pinion by Nige at Xcess4x4.com
Nige says the cross shaft is forged so will be 'super strong'.
I'm also having an Ashlocker built for the rear with a 3.75 Ashcroft HD CW&P.
The KAM is used and saving me some £££'s, the ratio difference of 0.05 is tiny and equivalent to usual tyre psi differences so won't be an issue.
Can't wait to see what the locker does around Tong, and what the ratio change does for drivability.
Before
After - ultrasonic clean & 12.9 capheads

Yeah Nige is doing a cracking job, wouldn't expect anything else though TBH. If I wasn't having the CW&P changed I'd have had a crack at building these myself, but TBH I'd not have done half as good a job. And you know I like shiny
Hopefully have some more pics tomorrow.

LOL...some peeps think I have some weird ilness when Suz & I go out and I have Eng Blue in my ear where is had a "Hmmmm let me think ...wiggle ...Waggle" moment
Stains like nothing else.
Thats a really nice 4 pin Ben has here, its a PROPER LR long Nose Military model mit forged cross shfat - = f strong !
Some serious ultrasonics and polishing brough it back well, some deeper pitting cant be removed buts more than good now, which is as much down to what we do as more the metal quality it was made from. Back in the 80s what LR served up to Civvy Street and what they sent the military where hugely different !!!!!!
