Bankz's 110 Double Cab

Those HD flanges can be very tight to remove once they have been on a fewmonths.

Yep Ceratec Ceramic grease works a treat, its because they are really badly coated by BearPANTS and AlFULLmakes and all the other happy shopper brands

Ive ordered paint Thanks!

Usually rarely if ever buy from those companies however same price as standard flanges. Worth a go!

Hearf equally bad things about Ashcroft ones as well!

Not so much the flange itself, more of the screw on cover, I nipped mine up and then needed to get the big bar on them to crack them off.

I think I have read of some people using PTFE on them threads as they tight to remove and can leak. Not sure if that’s just on the hubs that use EP though.

My rear axles are like that. Used PTFE there. Fronts use CV grease

the rubber washer is total pants, put your own one on. The castings are very good, i think they are zinc electroplated? so best just remove all traces and paint, when i did myne I etched first etc the paint fell off with a minor brush with a socket. Gve up and bought new ones and shot blasted, polished the painted them with high build primer first

avoid copper slip like the plague! its abrasive and drys out, has no place in my garage (used it for years lol)
Ceramic / anti fret grease Ceratec is like a yellow vaseline, ceramic grease i have is white and stinks like babies ****y nappys!

Also just be aware using anything on a thread will change its torque value when tightening, (google / you tube it) ceramic grease is good or you can get a powder. good video of someone greasing wheel nuts, lab test and watch em fall off under wobble machine!

Best to dry (brake clean) threads and anti fret after tightening etc. funny old engineer told me that years ago, i thought he was mad.....

Major works today. Cant share much yet as its need to know. It does involve a new turbo though



Got a fair bit more work to do yet probs a few weeks before its done but it will be epic.

In the mean time ive got this beast!

5.0L V8 G4

Had a pleasure of a drive to work in the D2 tody. Never knew how great cruise control is!

So ive ordered a D2 CC switch and getting that fitted to the 110 soon as. Made the motorway trips so damn easy!

Fabricated the new 3" downpipe for the "project"

Came out really well, except i forgot to weld in the bloody flexi

Heat wrapped but didnt buy enough



Also bought a D2 Cruis Control switch which will be fitted soon + some calibration from Empire so it works with my big tyres and 1.3 box.

Should be able to share what weve been working on soon but not yet!

Big turbo time
as for the flexi you just need to remove the small section before the top bend.
Quick Q.. why do these have flexi ? Do they shake that much & break the pipes or is to do with the manifolds? Thanks

Yeah its in the list to add!

The td5 engines rock a fair bit even with new mounts. That plus the constant banging around off roading, flexi just takes that stress out. My thoughts on it anyway!

Oh fs mate, now you've got me itching for new stuff with talk of new turbos and 3" exhausts.

I wants to know what new toyz you have!!!
