I'm in the middle of replacing my pass foot well if you'd like to look at my Album. I'm using the premade pans that were mentioned earlier in the thread.

thanks, seamed strange but if it's tough enough then it will be on my land rover soon.

Alright, the brake jobs I've done have never involved copper, I realize they don't rust but what about the strength. I cant seam to find premade stainless steel or even steel lines, thats why I'm asking. thanks

thanks parabolics was what i was gonna ask next...... is that what your running?

so what about a series 3 petrol being replaced by a 200tdi

I would like to get a few 4x4er's opinions of whats there favorite; Coil or Leaf (please include why and what type of driving conditions rock crawling, mud, woodland driving, dunes.....etc)and if anyone has used an aftermarket leaf spring on a series3 (replacement or inhancement)!

the only positive of this is to avoid the headache of the drum brakes....which is due to a lack of being comfortable with the drum system.... But if your gonna take a defender brake system, Then Take The Coil Springs Too! dont replace an old system with a new one and throw away a chance to...

impressed with the bulkhead repair, I think every weld I've seen on a Land Rover is a plate on top of 2 other plate held together by what looks like bubble gum..... and those white plastic bar/butt connectors, must be a common theme. I found 13 of them in just 2 curcuits.

Would it make more sense to throw leaf springs out of the picture and weld upper coil spring carriers to the correct spot on the frame? and then having a complete defender-like axle, brake, and suppension. I think it would be just as much work but with out the camber angle problem, right?

Hi, just an intro...I own a 74' series 3 and am looking for advice on turning it into a true rock crawler!.....advice about leaf springs, tires, 200/300tdi's, and transfer/trasmissions.
