    Ha ha, it is a struggle and I do get into trouble sometimes. Not so much with the money but the time spent working on him. I just say it's all in preparation for our holiday! The chassis job was a really tough one! I have a problem and can't help myself! Ha ha ha

    While the transfer box was out I thought it would be rude not to buy an Extreme Bailey Morris propshaft made to a custom length to suit my truck, finished in slate grey. :D

    I've also fabricated my adjustable panhard bar. Using a M20 rod end with custom made stainless m20 to m16 reducer spacers. Removed the bush and awaiting powder coat.

    So here's my solution to the speedo drive hole. Used a speedo drive bush, welded in a bit of 16mm bar, flushed it off and sprayed it black. I've also got the bracket and bolt to hold it in place.

    I've setup a dti gauge and worked out the correct shim needed. Luckily a friend had the exact shim so that's in now and is perfect. No pic of the lastest stage unfortunately. New bearing, seals etc fitted. Here's a couple during work.

    Then I noticed another small problem. The new box has a hole for the speedo drive! Bugger. All ready working on a fix. Picked up a speedo drive top hat bung which seals in the hole with an o ring, just need to weld a small disc to the end to stop the oil coming out then this is held in with a...

    So last Saturday I removed the transfer box and started to strip down both boxes.

    Managed to bag a right bargain on ebay, £22.50 for a brand new boxed genuine fog light! Happy days. Just need to find the other one now.

    Picked up some bits ready for the nose swap on my lt230. New front output flange kit, input seal, output bearing, washers for switches and some bolts that I'll turn into alignment pins.

    Thought I'd see what flex I've got, pretty sweet! No rubbing either.

    Drives well, quiet and grips great. Flat in the corners but is sluggish for now till I get my 1.3 transfer box in anyway. Steering not quite as nice but I'm going to make an adjustable panhard bar to align the axles. Should give an improvement. Will also fit 3° front radius arms to correct the...
