Disco Tray back build

Picked up some used headers at Billing for a good price..
They look a bit rusty, but there solid with plenty of life left.




I removed this lot from the front D2 axle ready for 1link'ing





Some axle porn below, D2 rear axle getting worked for the 4 link.
Before anyone says, the top tube is level with the axle tube. :)

So axles all finished, gave it a lick of paint, then hopefully tomorrow It can go on!
Still need to make new chassis end upper arm mounts.
 
I'm now selling my rose jointed trailing arms as I'm making a set of longer rear arms so these are of no use!
They bolt up on all the original landy mounts, they are in great condition and give unrestricted movement unlike bushed arms (even cranked!)

They are made from 3mm wall tube forget what OD but its bigger than std (think its like 32mm) and there so much stronger than a normal set of trailing arms!
It has a normal bush on the axle end and a 3/4 McGill Motorsport rose joint on the chassis end (super strong) with a nice rubber boot on to keep the water n mud out!
It was professionally welded and you can buy new boots or even rose joints if they should ever go.

They cost me about £100 to get them made up so thats what they are up for as the have only done about 1000 miles (500 was on motorways)

Ordered my new bushes for the new longer arms.. just need some time to do it all!
 
Vowed to myself to make an effort and get cracking with this now.
been at the new job a month now so its been a bit hectic going from 4 days off in the 8day week to 9-5!

plan to get the rear done over the next couple weeks and get it ready for ita 2nd mot! :eek:

not even had a chance to test out this MegaJolt kit that I fit.
