Right hand Bracket is bolted to another Bracket welded on Chassis beneath it and adjusted up and down via the 2 Bolts, (kinda a rough adjustment) before pulling the Strap up with it's stud / bolt on the Right side, (bit vague there as mine was long gone rusted away ;) The Left side has a wee...

Mine has it's hardware, I managed to get the manky old bolts out, so I cleaned all that up and used 4 off nice Mercedes M8 ETorx bolts and plenty Copperslip, so they are both back in place now ready for when I get a new Tank Strap :) All my firms bills are in now, so once they are paid by...

That's good to know, I'm not really up on IVA ;) I don't doubt what you're saying btw because I know things have all changed these days but ........... So what's the story if I should end up with a replacement Galv Chassis, if it had no numbers at all on it or I were to stamp it with my VIN...

No upper Strap, I'm gonna need one, best I can find atm is genuine Land Rover at £109, not exactly high up the list atm, but it will get one before 26th February MOT ;) I might call Braith-Speed and see if they do one ;) ...................... If they don't they certainly should ;) I saw your...

DVLA will not change even a simple Engine swap these days without an invoice / letter from a garage business, last year I sent off my SLK R170 V5 to just change CC and Engine Number from the original 3.2 litre V6 to 5.0 V8 and then they wanted an Invoice, which I couldn't supply because I am a...

Yes certainly has been with this one, i knew it needed a fair bit but hadn't checked it thoroughly as it didn't cost me a bean to purchase it ;) Thankfully I can now see light at the end of the tunnel :) Yes I'm hoping I'll have a nice D2 example with a few decent upgrades at the end of all...

Me too :D :D :D

OK, so I've been busy work wise, but also got to do a few more jobs on D15KOE :) So here's a pic of yet another part that the previous "Technicians" decided the car didn't need .... Battery / Jack Cover I managed to bag a good used one that looks almost new :) So remember I fitted new...

Looking good Maestro :) I would definitely be putting a big drawer that opens outta the back in that rear section, for storing Straps, Jacks, Chains, Tirfor etc ............ W.H.Y. ;) Nice to see you got the same weather as us Lochalsh'ites ;)

Thank You kind Sir but I'm no Land Rover expert :D I know modern CAN Bus cars well, specialise in Merc's these days but do repair all makes ;) My D2 is my first D2, and I haven't had other Landys for a few years now, 2x RRC, 3 D1's and a Defender so I'm on a learning curve too D2 wise ;) Last...

I don't wanna mess up Paul's Pwr Steering project thread, I have my own one for D15KOE here .... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/daves-d2-td5-project.372156/ Will be posting another update in the next few days :) Feel free to post comments, it's a bit quiet in that respect ;)

Looking good :)

I'm doing more Welding today, next MOT is end of February 22, the bad Chassis rot has all now been done, and I'd like to get another 18 / 30 Months outta this old girls Chassis ;) I'm just doing all the tidying up bits like in between the rear Body Mounts etc now, and as I had the Exhaust off...

That's great news, so you're almost there now :)

You can still use Epoxy if you want to, it really is great stuff especially in our salty Climate ;)

Use Epoxy Primer in a 1.8 set up gun, it's all i use in our climate, it is not porous like other Primers, = no rust ;) ..................... And we both know about rust. I blast it on thick mix (10% Thinner) and heavy, 2 - 3 coats, it sets with orange peel, but beware, you need to flat it the...

Ahh I get it now, avoids having wheel tubs in the load area ;) But yes, you've got room for Drawers in the Centre ;) Seat Base was just on the offchance, I'll try various Breakers, trouble with giving the whole base to the Trimmer in Inverness is I'd have no passenger seat then for heaven...

I'm loving it :) I gotta ask, I know there must be a reason, why is the floor height a way above the rear Chassis ? Are you having Side Lockers for Tools and Equipment ? Bit off topic, but do ya have or know where I can get a front passenger Seat Base, (in VGC) to replace my drivers Seat Base...

Thanks for this thread ;) I just fitted new Radiator and Intercooler, and I too wondered why I had an extra hose ;) I just assumed it was 10P / 15P were different, but whatever the actual reason, yeah, there must be a choice for that one :)

I started the Radiator / Intercooler yesterday, did about 3 hours on it, not the easiest of jobs, yet again made harder by the previous inepts, who obviously had this all apart to fit the later Engine and Transmission, there was a missing rubber mount on one of the upper Mounts, I had to...
