I've 265 and put 35 psi in front and rear.....nice ride :-)

Spot on :-)

Cracking tip; well spotted ! :)

Next phase is to teach the girlfriend to weld ! :D Cracking welding/rebuilding of your chassis btw :)

Prefered the brown background with spray-over-leaf design myself !:D Seriously good job you've done there.:)

On the contary, I think £3,750 is a very good price for both parties TBH. Muggings here paid £5,000 for a slightly higher spec ( but lot older ) and if this had come up at the time I would have bought it ( seriously ). Land Rovers don't fly off the shelf; try a few other LR websites etc (...

Phew, just saved me a few bob !! :clap2:

Keep up the good work...fine example to most of us :-) I've 265 tyres on my standard height 90 ( just installed 30mm spacers as the tyres touched the chassis on full lock ) so I personally wouldn't fit a 2 inch lift. We also need photos of your rebuild !!!! :) P.S. I'm less than 5...

If you put Defender ( early ) wheels on and 265 sized tyres, you'll also need 30mm spacers ... oh and welcome :-)

Lovely restoration; credit to you....gives a nice feeling of satisfaction, doesn't it ?

They may be left hand threaded...or made of Brit***t metal...so he could have genuine problems :D

Looks OK to me :-)

Welcome, I to, got the proverbal "YOU BOUGHT THAT" from the wife when I turned onto the driveway !:D

Just an update before I end the thread. Sadly, defenderbits are not returning my 2 calls ( answer machine only ) and not replying to my emails !! Are they going bust ? Anyway...will no doubt be cancelling if nothing heard in a day or so ( hey, it is only a £200 order :rolleyes: ) and I...

I'm sure the handbrake has to start coming on at 2 clicks ( for the MOT test ).

Still awaiting my bits from Defenderbits.co.uk ( only 10 days so far :( ) but hey ho once bitten, twice shy, as they say. In the meantime got my nearby neighbour to weld up the front outrigger for me:D..very good job he made of it to !! So lots of work thrown at the Defender this...

No replies to my emails so called them today ( bugger, 5 minutes on their 0844 number:( ) but at least they are sending out the track rod kit...so it's a start )!

Mine is also converted but with a Range Rover Classic axle..so probably worth taking the old pads with you ( or a photograph to the supplier ) as there can't be (he says ! ) that many variations.

Mine ( fitted by previous owner ) still looks immaculate, straight and painted ! Go for a quality brand .

How I hate this....... WERE WAITING FOR AN ITEM TO COMPLETE YOUR ORDER .....after receiving this last Thursday PROCESSING - YOUR ORDER IS WITH OUR WAREHOUSE TEAM TO BE PICKED AND PACKED. So I went ahead and dismantled the Defender last week :mad: . Well, first (and probably the last...
