Right once thats was sorted i test fitted a wheel and it was spot on so i moved on to fitting up the other side before bleeding, i had a bit of a nightmare with the bleeding until i realised i had put the calipers on the wrong sides so the nipples were at the base. Not my brightest moment. This...

Right well i made a little more progress today, my bearings and bits turned up from paddocks so i got the hubs fitted and managed to track down my missing stub axle. First i cleaned up the old hubs ready for the new bearings, cut the disc bolts down and thread locked them in place befre...

Yeah a third vote on a jump lead mate.

wow, thats pricey. Luckily i have managed to sort one out. Thanks for the info didnt think they would be available new.

Check the live to the starter and the live to the bulkhead if all power is off it will be one of those 2, I'd check lives then earths

If its cranking and not firing check 12v is getting to the stop solenoid, that wire tends to fall off

Have you checked the main earth on the starter? My tri got a high resistance contact there and killed all no dash or anything my money would be On that

Right ill update with pics tomorrow but it looks like I'm going to need to turn my drums down as a wheel spacer. Does anyone have a front stub axle I could buy? It needs to be an 80/81 plus one with the two same sized bearings

I'm in need of a front stub axle for a 1980/81 onwards series, the one with two bearings the same size, can anyone help me?

I'm looking for a front stub axle for an 80/81 land rover series, the one with 2 bearings the same. Can anyone help me? Aaron

im not sure on standard wheels with my brakes but i also like the standard look, they fit under my 16 inch modulars ok ill have to see if i have a stock series wheel about to try against.

That's. mental power but I can't begin to think what the point of it all in a landy is :p I had a mate with260hp on a rover v8 and he tended to spin up off road so didn't see any advantage over my 200tdi. Then again the noise will be epic ha ha

Cheers rob, wow that's a dead easy job then. God knows what I was reading. What do ou do about steering arms?

Dive I see what you mean. I don't really do much in the way of machine work. Last time I used a lathe was last January when I did my power steering conversion.

Ah right I had heard to get the diff aligned you ended up 15 degrees out. I can't quite understand what you mean by set by the springs, it's dependant on the angle of the upper and lower swivel ball pivots. So if you twist your diff backwards you shift the castor further over centre.

Yeah they look good to be nice and even across all 4 id be happy with that

Just had a read through this, great little build there and that charger is a beast. Aaron

Oh right, not bad at all then. I read you needed to weld up and re drill the axle casing to restore the castor. That's not too bad then.

If its flat out I wouldn't worry, they tend to over fuel and kick black smoke lease above first blast in a while will kick out plenty of carbon deposits

Yeah I looked at Zeus, last I heard it was 800 plus. I had it in my head disco axles would have needed clocking to get the diff angles right. Or isn't that such an issue? Divie, I know exactly where your coming from liability is an issue although plenty of people do it in the tuning world I...
