    Longer wheel studs to fit HD rims

    I asked the tyres and wheels guy at Paddocks about this very thing a couple of months ago. He strongly recommended me to use the FRC7577. The answer to your question is therefor "yes, FRC7577 will fit in series 3 hub", all according to Paddock.

    Brilliant Bobsticle, this is a huge step forward! :) The pictures I mentioned are now included, just for your confirmation. So, I consider my first 2 questions to be answered, but #3 remains... so, if I change the front halfshafts to 24 splines, which type of halfshaft (Paddock) do I need? I...

    Series 3 A creative day in 1977 causes confusion 39 years later

    I recently bought a 1977 Series 3, 88" truck cab, diesel. As with most old Landies, it came with a lot of charm and a lot of things to sort out. To get it to pass its MoT for the first time since 2003 (!), a number or things need to be done. This post is about an interesting feature regarding...
