Here it is --the thread you've all been waiting for!!!!
At Mad Hat Man's suggestion (and in keeping with the new politically correct "non thread hijacking" protocol), a new thread tracking the (admittedly somewhat laboured till now) progress of my Freelander 2wd/4wd project.
For preliminary background reading see my postings in earlier thread "4wheel drive --is it?".
Mad Hat Man, in answer to your comment on availability of Ford Raider components, I am only using them because they were the first the Wrecker (sorry - Breaker, in UK speak) showed me and they looked to be the right stuff. I have it on good authority that a swag of mid size 4WD Toyotas (rear wheel 2WD type) use the same setup (Toyota calls it ADD (not Attention Deficit Disorder!!), but Automatic Disconnect Differential), which like the Raider, acts on one front axle drive shaft. There may be other brands with similar hardware.
Stay tuned (holding breath not recommended!!)
Cheers
