    Galv Chassis

    I have a Maer 110 one sitting here. Haven't started to build it up yet. Looks well made of decent stuff. All the holes I was expecting seem to be there. Maer seem decent enough to deal with. They have been in touch since buying asking for feedback. Chassis came with all brackets/...

    90 to 110 brakes - have I been an arse?

    If you have no vacuum you should have a rock solid high up btake pedal .....but you will not stop unless you have both feet pressing it :)

    90 to 110 brakes - have I been an arse?

    Did you have brakes before :) Then youll have brakes after...... The 90 servo/master cylinder will work the 110 calipiers no bother....the pedel travels a few mm more but youd expect that as it needs to shift more fluid. The servo should make no difference to distance of brake travel. The...

    Disco 2 Considering a galvanised replacement chassis

    They are priced in Euro with Polish vat at 23%. We buy stuff in £ and pay 20% vat :) Collected my chassis from Billing show.....cheapest way to get. A couple of hundred quid of fuel is much cheaper than delivery. And I went to the show :)

    Maer Chassis

    Most of the deal was done on facebook. Bank transfered the deposit. Only slight hitch was getting in to the show ground to collect it, had to wait until 5pm until the crowd left. £1920 collected from the show. Comes with crossmembers and brackets. No one else was close to that price. The...

    I think I’ve brought a ringer……..

    What do you mean by "series 3 hybrid" Usually that would mean to me someone has stuck a series 3 body on a coil sprung rangerover chassis..... What identity you looking for...the series? or the rangerover? Probably youd have a rangerover pretending to be a series :) Also better to do a bit of...

    No...it must be UNLOCKED.............it will be unlocked unless you locked it :) (if it locked it'll just climb out the rollers as soon as the start.) You can check the foot brake as normal. You cant check the handbrake. The center diff can easilly cope with 10 seconds on a brake...

    you can brake test a disco on brake rollers with the props on. The center diff obviously needs to not be locked. The slow speed of the brake rollers will do it no harm.

    A Frame Balljoint - Lining bolts up on replacing

    A Frame Balljoint - Lining bolts up on replacing

    have you fitted the ball joint to the axle? Id bolt it to the arms first :) It should not be dificult as there nothing under tension then.

    Central door locking (Hawk) and lift up handle doors - unexpected bonus!

    I have hawk door lockiing kit...i can open my doors with the key and the cdl opens the other doors. No lock on the pass side handle so I can only open the drivers door with the key. I cant see how the kit would change anything to do with the locks....its only a rod attached to and existing rod...
