Once happy with the position, holes are drilled, and I've inserted tubes and welded them in place so the bolts can't crush the chassis. Steering and brakes have to be right! I've found a guy over who's started making a front disk brake kit for the Series vehicles... He'll supply a bolt on kit inc Ser 3 servo pedal assy with dual master cylinder all for $2400... What are the options over there now? ROAM and Heystee?? The second seems really over priced....?!

Steering box fitted and most of the surrounding metalwork done! Heavy weight angle now surrounds it and a piece of thick wall RHS runs from under the RH chassis rail to the replaced front xmember that came out of the donor vehicle.

So, with the steering done its onto the handbrake. I am using the original Series lever on its original chassis mount but with a newly made pivot assy bolted to the transfer case which hooks onto the LT230's drum brake! 'A' goes to the handbrake drum and 'B' goes to the original handbrake lever. Works well!!!

This has now lead me to think about running two 'original' style levers for hi/lo (red), and CDL (yellow). The diff lock lever assy unbolts and allows the original seat box to sit as it should.... Should confuse a few when they open the door!!
