Aaron,
How expensive are the parts for the transfer box and have you done an R380 yet?

Parts for transfer box are about £170 bud.
But that's if you want to change flanges, corteco seals, new bolts etc.. aswell as the usual bearings etc..
Or Ashcroft sell a basic rebuild kit for about £125. Although I've never used one myself as I just order separately by part number.
And if a new input gear is needed (i.e old one not cross drilled) another £40 or so.
Oh and no, I've not done an R380 yet. Hopefully will do when one comes up for reasonable money.
I'm sure rebuilding the R380 would be more complicated but should be worth it when you consider the cost of a recon. You should be able to make a few pounds on here with recon boxes!
Yes I've done a few lt77's and they're not bad to do. So will try an R380 if one ever comes up for reasonable money.

Did think about doing a how-to on a rebuild of one, but forgot to take pictures during the strip down.

What is the actual difference between a disco R380 and a defender R380. If you're looking for a niche try making your own conversion and picking up disco R380 boxes. I've got one of the drive
JUST to help you out I could send you one to rebuild for me so you can take pictures :hysterically_laughi
Ah, missed this yesterday, from memory the only difference is the selector shaft and quadrant that goes on the end.
Not looking for a niche, I am only doing this out of enjoyment and to keep me busy.
As I've said before, I've got f*ck-all else, my outlook on life is pretty bleak, so if I can do something that makes me happy and keeps me sane then all the better. And I really don't like being stood about doing nothing.
Ashcrofts already do an adapter to convert them that just bolts on the end of the selector rail, which is about £75.
Or to buy a defender spec selector rail and quadrant is about £100 from memory.
But hey, if you want to donate an r380 be my guest :behindsofa:
Oh you're so kind
Maybe we could do some kind of deal.....
I give you an R380 & transfer box and you rebuild the transfer box for me!
Aye, I'm sure we can do a deal bud, Just give me a shout closer to the time and when you're ready
Well I know how yer all love pictures and I forgot to take any yesterday, so here you go
Been busy most of the day doing other bits and bobs, but managed to cadge an hour to strip down another.
This is a 1.6, no one has asked me to do it, but it's been sat in the shed that long it may as well go. Come to think of it, I can't even remember where it came from, or when I bought it
All I do know is it's damn covered in ****'e
So I'll rebuild it first, because I'm a bit silly like that
And it's now in a few more pieces than I started with
More strip down and clean up in the week.
