reet then all yu landy n drainage expurtz - where can yu get an 8" steel sewer pipe cap from then?

Pipe fitter & fabricators You tend to find then on Petrochemical site oil refinaries and the like. I doubt you'll find a steel sewerage pipe supplier in the UK but most Big pipe fitting outfits will be able to get you one.


Or as SlobMeister says head for merkin land.

statin the obvious - it was in afrikans, or more precisely, dutch - so it was meant fur Bushbollock. I take yo point about the dollar tho, Slob. I mite have to find out how much.


anyone have a copy of LRO - spring 2007 - there is a write-up in there, apparently, on a RR diff pan how-to.

heres a couple of links to a piccy how-to. Unfortunately its Merkin, but it shows wot to do.

part2

although this site mentions cutting the cap, others dont. meybe you do in the front diff, to clear the rod. The bax has no clearance issues.

Quick update - these are only 12AWG wall thickness, but then only $3.75ea.F.O.B. Ohio

Nah there ****e. They're just dust/debris protectors for when the pipes are been transported. If you look on the thread you posted the link to and read down there's the ANSI spec no. and some info on where to locate the cap also known as weld caps in this country.

I use my landy for laning put it through some serious sh1t, been meaning to get a diff guard as i have already welded up the front axle as the diff pan had slightly cracked at the bottom where it had bent.

looking at the problem you guys are having with rusting behind the diff guard im gonna seam weld plate onto the front of the diff....

as for paint i highly recommend agricultural tractor paint, hard as nails water proof. better than hammer right.......

another job to do when i get round to it...lol.....

found a source of pipe caps in the UK - about £40 each - wall thickness .320" - thats wot I am going with - fix the prob once and fur all.
