So the 800’s wouldn’t be much cop then? Are the 255100/16 Michelin’s ok with a tube? Thanks Joe

Cheers for the replies. I believe they are very similar to FC wheels but were actually fitted to the snatch and rapier 110/130 defenders? Don’t remember where I heard that though so don’t quote me. 750’s will probably be the way then.. I did fancy something a little bigger. May sound silly but...

Hello all. Been a while.. I was very kindly treated to a set of ANR1534’s for my 30th last week. They’ll be going on the 2a as soon as I get the tyres sorted. The truck is on parabolic springs so sits a little higher than standard. It’s currently on lwb rims with 750s. Tricky to photograph but...

I’ve not been on here for an age again! I do always feel slight guilt as I only seem to consistently post on here when I’m after advice etc! The Landy has been on the road properly for the last couple of months now. Absolutely loving it. I’ve had a few teething problems.. A nasty knock from...

Well, I hope everyone is ok.. my furlough time was a blessing with regards to the Landy. 2 weeks is a good chunk of time! When you’re in the peaks please do let me know, I’m only down the road. Be great to get out

As soon as I can! Where do you get out? I need to get it registered.. while I’m sorting that it’ll give me time to do the last few bits. I’m absolutely over the moon. Feels like all the graft and bloody knuckles are coming to fruition.

Sorted! I ended up extending the push rod out of the slave cylinder by 7/8”, so I had a small amount of free play before it was acting on the clutch leaver proper. It’s perfect. Moved under her own power for the first time since it was pulled apart. I’m a happy lad. Is it too early for a...

I went out this morning and did exactly that. I added 7/8” to it, so it has a little free play before acting on the clutch. And it’s perfect! Cheers guys

adjustable via a clevis that connects to arm on shaft out of the bell housing. This is adjusted all the way out although the cylinder end looks tampered with. If it was too short I guess it could be giving this problem? Maybe I order a new rod.

The gearbox is a factory reconditioned unit. By the serial numbers on the plate I am lead to believe it is a 2a housing built with fully synchronised series 3 innards. The work on the bracket was very poor. How can I check I am getting correct movement on the release shaft?

Before I stripped the land rover yes. The “original” bracket for the clutch slave cylinder had been cut and welded a few times for some reason. I bought a replacement, original bracket. And I believe I have bought all the correct parts to put it back to how it should be.....

Evening all. I’ve come to bleed the clutch up on my series 2a, 1962 2.25 petrol. It’s the early type slave cylinder, and the reservoir is shared with the brakes. All new components, including hoses. Excluding the reservoir and push rod out of the slave cylinder. I’ve bled it conventionally...

Freewheeling hubs back on, as are the rear half shafts and drive flanges etc. Upon further (more sober) inspection, my clutch is not bled up. It is pumping through clear fluid bleeding it up at the slave. But it requires pumping a couple of times before it gives resistance, and acts on the...

Clutch and brakes are all sorted. I would like a new reservoir at some point as mine looks like it’s not going to hold up much longer. Prop shafts are back on. I just need to find the box that I put somewhere safe with the hub gaskets in it before I continue... if it doesn’t turn up in the next...

Well, sorry about the radio silence chaps. After being un-furloughed a month or so back I have had next to no time for my own projects. But this afternoon may see some action! Clutch and brakes to bleed, Props to connect up, Hubs on and then hopefully a little test drive. It has been hard...

Cheers chaps. Hopefully a little test run this eve. Shocks to put on, fuel tank, coolant in, hubs on. Few little bits but not a right deal to do. I’ll let you know how I got on this evening

Not put owt up for a while, I’ve been a busy lad! I realised after I took this photo that I had put the pedal boxes on the wrong way around! Too keen to get it back together! Whoops.

Did you hear owt @Marmaduke ?

I’ve been doing a bit today. Got the loom into the right places, just need to start hooking stuff up. Gave the engine a quick flick over, no coil or fuel yet. But nice to hear it spinning over none the less. Took a little video but not sure how to upload? cheers Joe

Fantastic! I’ve not heard owt back. Just trying to work mine out now... lots of head scratching. I reet’ don’t like wiring.
