There isn't really a lot to check with the selectors, they're not adjustable. Depending on the stick there is a plastic ring that should be on the end which, if missing, would cause the stick to move further than normal

You'll have to be careful a bit, you may have a metric dual circuit system (from 80 or 81 on) or something dual circuit from an older LWB. If it's had a metric system fitted then everything should be metric apart from the wheel cylinders. Be careful with the UNF as it will screw into a metric...

If you think of the series steering system, the arm of the relay connects to an arm coming off one of the steering swivels, this same arm then connects via the tie bar to the other swivel. Because the tie bar connects onto the arm nearer to the swivel centre it doesn't have to move so far to...

I think the main benefits are it's a mental antidote to the sometime horror of restoring a bulkhead and knowing it's not going to happen again in your lifetime (or the next) and that molten zinc blasting through all the cavities and hollow sections is something that can't be got to with blasting...

Was the drive flange/diff turning easily after the work was done? I know it's hard to tell as you'd prob need to pull the driveshafts to check.

Series 2/3 and defender bulkheads are the same width, and the doors are the same profile so the tub width should be the same. Actually I fitted a defender roll hoop to my series and that lined up perfectly so yes they are the same width. Not sure if there are any construction differences...
