I've found it, this is what I'm after???? Any suggestions as to where best to place a "Wanted" ad? Ken. File too big to attach, so see link:- http://www.lrfaq.org/Series/images/RTC7016.pdf

Many thanks for you speedy replies, I contacted Ashcroft's, they're out of stock on the conversion plates to allow the later 5 speed boxes to be fitted to the series transfer case, and recon they won't have any more in "this year"??? Regarding this conversion, I've read that the later boxes are...

Hi All, After a recent 200tdi conversion to my '59 SII, (keeping turbo and intercooler) I've found that I haven't enough gears??, I've swapped to 235-80 tyres on LWB rims which have helped a bit, but it still feels like I'm driving everywhere in third gear? I have a set of 3.54 diffs from an...
