Not saying I dont want jates. Am saying I do not have the holes for jates as rear crossmember and short legs have been replaced and looks like recovery point holes have been welded up. Is cross member strong enough to take a towball just for recovery

Hi all. What in your opinion is the best item to fit for rear recovery. I have no rear towing eyes to change for jate rings as they have been welded up when fitting new rear cross member. I dont have or want a towing bracket. All advice gratefully recieved

Think its wheel spacers the op is looking for :doh:

Agree with Blue Haze

Tried the stop tail led bulbs in mine. Found the neck on the lamp was not long enough to reach the contacts and twist under the locating pegs :(

Matt. joined Face book. Where do I find them. Gary

When you say no reverse do you mean the gear lever will not go over or it is not selecting. Are all forward gears working

Agree with all the above :D :D

Sorry I meant post 16. Its been a long day :o

Sorry mate. Been a long day :)

I did suggest this back in post 86 with all intention of helping if close. Now not so sure. Have a good life.

Is it possible the alternator seized and snapped the fan belt ? Had you got the extra lights switched on when it snapped?

Agreed.

I can see now how youve got over 100 posts in 10 weeks. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Why bother asking for advice and then querying all advice thats offered. Do what you want its your Landy that will catch fire not mine. :blabla: :blabla:

personally I would steer clear of scotch block connectors and make either a screw connection or a crimp connection. The blade connection on scotch blocks corrodes/reacts then starts arcing causing carbonisation thereby causing a high resistance causing more carbonisation etc etc. If you...

Just remember any supplies you are taking direct from the battery must be fused as close to the battery as possible. Where are you, perhaps someone can come and point you in the right direction. Trust me I am an electrician with 35 years experience. :D :rolleyes:

Check the earth onto the engine. Had this with a kit car and it turned out to be a missing earth therfore using the temperature gauge earth as a return

In a word. Yes. You can do what you want. Its your motor. If you mean is it safe and correct then you know the answer must be NO otherwise you wouldnt have asked. :D

Many thanks to all for the day. Excuse any spelling mistakes as I am still shaking. On a serious note any body thats unsure about doing this just get out there with a great bunch like these and do it. Once again guys and gals may thanks and hope to see you all again. Gary:nopics:
