Now sold and on its way to Manchester.

Remove and replace with the correct Series 3 parts. Imagine if you were in an accident and someone got hurt and the police were looking at the safety critical components of the vehicle. Bits of rebar and badly homemade spring mounts may land you in court.

1979 Series 3 SWB petrol. Mot and tax exempt. Rebuilt on to a galvanised chassis. Extensive rebuild in 2017. Not concours but a thorough electrical and mechanical rebuild. Rebuilt Fairey overdrive. Let down by my poor attempt at spray painting:) Located in Glasgow £8000 firm. No dealers please.

Fitting a Salisbury rear axle to a short wheel base Series Landrover requires fairly major modifications to the spring mounts and bump stops areas. It is not a straightforward swap. By far the easiest solution is to swap the axle case with a better one.

Normal for a late Series 3. Does the chassis number stamped in the O/S front dumbiron match the V5c?

That is a Series 3 chassis.

The diff only has one end where the pinion oil seal is. Are you still maybe getting the terminology wrong? The diff is the big heavy lump bolted into the middle ish of the axle case. From your description it's the axle case oil seals you are referring to. They sit at either end of the axle case...

I think you are getting the terminology mixed up. Surely it's the axle case oil seals you want? Widely available

This one is free to use. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.clifton.nl/calvin.html&ved=2ahUKEwjw-omZ5NjwAhXx_7sIHSeCDw04ChAWMAV6BAgOEAI&usg=AOvVaw2BzYXxj1GuEMHUyy0MS_23

It would cost you a bit to re import it from Canada tho.

He does a bolt on version too. Rods and buffers readily available. Surely better than messing up a nice bulkhead with bodgery?

Why not just buy the correct bracket for the door? https://www.catmint.biz/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=75

Who knows but these are some pics of where my number is. First pic shows where it normally is and other pic shows where it actually is.

Cool, yes, but only affordable for the very rich. These conversions are close to £50000. I'd be very keen to go electric if the cost of a kit was the same money as a full engine rebuild (approx £4000).

Very late 5mb 2.25 service exchange engines did not have the number in the usual place. Try looking just to the left of the distributor. Mine is stamped there. Number usually starts with S.

Most 'upgrades' devalue classic vehicles. Standard swb 10" brakes, if well set up and maintained, are actually quite good. Stainless and aluminium are not the best of friends. There is some chemistry involved re galvanitic corrosion! They can be used if there is a physical barrier between the...

Quite safe to remove lower seal retainer and even the top one too. The shaft is held in place by the 'wedge effect' of the upper and lower split bushes. It will only fly apart if you drive the shaft out of the relay body.

Thin sharp chisel and hit it a few times to get the remains moving. If that fails it'll be a combination of drill/chiselling the remains out. At least its a relatively soft metal. Of course access is limited, maybe remove rocker cover to make more room? I don't see a copper sealing washer. Has a...
