Been busy fitting panels today. And yes it is sat on steel wheels. How else will I make it fit in the garage. Lol. Was sat as low as she could go! Lol lol

Glad I got it right then because nearly all my circuits are wired the same. Lol. Will look at your thread when I have all it'll more time.

Yeah I was told that MOTs could be a issue! All my lights are isolated through switches. Even if you was just flashing someone out at a junction you would blind them! Lol. Didn't reply fast tonight been traveling to London for work!!! Just got to the hoilday inn!

If you turn lamp off via the dash switch you install it won't have any effect on the vehicles normal main beam. Should have said that. Sorry.

Here is a wired example of the circuit I allowed for above. 50watt lamp fed via main beam control from original loom on vechicle. This circuit allows you to switch lamp off and on depending if you want to have it on when using main beam or not. Please tell me if anyone doesn't agree with it...

Here is a picky of it going in. Please ignore the mess it work in progress.

Here is my dash panel and my fuse box. I ran a muliti core cable from panel to fuse box. These wires were only for the switching. Ie making and braking the relays. The relays then powers the circuit ie lights winch electric fan etc etc. Hope this gives you the idea. I will mount...

The body work is all done by a friend. ( nato green) The Schultz and black under side all done by myself. This nato green does scratch really easy I guess this is normal? Seams like it.

That has got to be the best description of it I have ever heard. Lol

My new fuse box before I fitted it. Lots of new bits going on. Reasons for the second alternator and leisure battery.

And made these up. Tub to outer wing supports. Made from 20mm thin wall box. Flatten the ends and rivet them on job done and much stronger than before. These will be painted and Schultz over.

Also fitted some washer jets which mount to a wipe blade from another car. Not sure this will work yet but fingers crossed. At least with these the water will follow the sweep. Now just need to fit the winscreen lol.

We'll next time and as long as my defender is on the road by then I will defo make the trip. Would be good to travel up with a few other people. Does the club ever do mini meets for local people? Ie if ya in somerset or local meet up for a cuppa chat look at each other motors etc.? Used to do...

Would have come if I had been a member for abit longer. Don't know anyone yet. ( also defender is not finished yet) Did anyone drive up to this event from the southwest. Somerset area or further? Can't say I have ever driven 170 miles in one trip in a defender. Lol. If there was a south...

Yep that's all I had. And a very helpful brother. Lol. If I can find the pictures I will post them on here but it was over a year ago.

When I did my clutch I disconnect both props. Removed all bolts connecting gear box to engine. I left transfer box connected to gear box had a good size engine Crain and just used it to pull the lot back in one lump. I still had body on and did all this by removing the seats and had engine Crain...

Forgot to say fitted a second alternator to the real defender lol Also made up some new parts for the side body corner mounts. As mine were rotten!!!!

Been busy with the toy defender chassis today. Front and rear axle fitted Steering all sorted out. Got to fit up the wiring and pedals etc before chassis get painted. Brother is working on body ideas this week. Will be made out of metal hopefully not wood.

I was lucky to have a very clever brother. He built me a custom Made 2.5 inch fully stainless system. Won't need changing for awhile. I would spend the money and do it. If you know a friendly welder.

Oh and we are also building a toy lander rep for the kids. Only just started that but kids will grow up fast!!!
