Looks good sam!
.2 ?transfer case fitted this afternoon
what a difference 0.2 makes!
Megasquirt tuning tomorrow! :d
Clean, tidy and ready to refit
Correct have read lots of **** about Ashcroft recently!
Nothing complex about lt230, jm recommended centre diff washers but I didn't fancy the time on it cos it felt alright at the moment, better than my 1.2
All you need is time with lt230, very simple build
Even I can't manage that many church roofs.Just fit a Quaife centre diff
tis the same all over peeps rest on their reputation and then it turns ****e and they lose business. D4x4 are the same Used to be, the place for offroad gear. now it's just overpriced ****e that they sell and crap customer service.Yeah well for example new input gear and bearings from Ashcroft couple years back, bearings are slightly scored now.
I pulled them off and swapped them for the old Timken that were in this 1.4 box as in better condition
Lots of stories about using old parts and bodging up worn out casings with silicone etc
Can imagine how it would be possible to get greedy/complacent if you are the household name but at their prices they should be doing a proper job
For instance gasket and seal kit for my lt230, 25 squids plus post off Ashcroft with no O rings, or 15 quid delivered off eBay for full O ring kit and viton seal upgrade also
Bit daft really!
Hi James
Thanks for your speedy help
Done some calcs and my gearing by tyres is approx 12% over
I just removed speedo gear from old 1.2 box and I have the frc9339 black 23 tooth gear
If I remove 12% from 23 i get 20.24 tooth, so blue 20 tooth would be correct for me
Just read something online that only yellow and black suit v8 models because of larger diameter speedo cable but hopefully that's not true for discovery, or I'll have to make some modifications!!
Front intermediate shaft hole is good, round and true, I had read that they can elongate, this 1.4 box looks to be in very good condition, centre diff not very worn and all bearings reuseable, so I'm confident casing is good to use also, have checked hole for roundness and it seems fine
Thankyou JM
