the chassis number is on the front left spring hanger. so maybe have a good look there. (this is on a series 3)

in that case im off to the local engineer :D

what about the stage 1 rear axle? they are the same ratio as the RR diff's, and someone mentioned it was a salisbury. they are also leaf sprung.

I suspect that if you can find the speedo unit from a stage 1 v8 (series 3 v8) which has the higher ratio diffs, but someone said they have a salisbury on the back so in other words the stage 1 should have a high ratio salisbury, if you can grab the speedo unit out of this it should be set to...

great, the other thing I am worried about is if I take the flywheel off won't the torqued bolts need to be replaced? I think I have heard they can snap if you try and reuse them.

my budget consists of how much money I have in the bank on the day, and at the moment its none. im not keen on importing a flywheel conversion, (im in New Zealand) so unless an engineer can put some bolt holes on it for me, (and keep it balanced) then im going to have to stick with the...

is that going to cost a lot? as im on a bit of a budget here :eek:

first off conversions can be a pain in the neck. :doh: anyway I have a landrover and I can't seem to find the clutch thrust bearing. the flyweel and clutch cover are isuzu, as is the motor, I don't think a landrover thrust bearing would work as the clutch cover is rather different so...

Im a fan of the full hardtop, more undercover room so you can carry more stuff without people being able to easily take it, and its away from the weather a bit more.

oh well, looks like i am sticking to the 10" drums then.

so do you think that I should stick with the 10" drums? also I have a set of the narrower shoes for 11" drums. surely I can just chuck them onto the 11" off the series 2 in other words put 11" drums, with the narrower shoes onto my s3 swb. Im not sure if it was military, but I doubt it

just checked and the lwb has twin leading shoes on the front as well. not single ones. so basically to sum it up, the series 2 obviously has lwb brakes on it, but why are the pads so much wider? and should I chuck them on my series 3 swb and then gloat over the better braking?

I am confused, we have 3 landrover's a 1981 109, a 1976 88" and an old series 2 for parts (chassis is literally in several pieces, lol) anyway the 109 has 11" drums and a single brake wheel cylinder for each wheel. the 1976 88" has 10" drums, and a single wheel cyl per wheel the series...

around the top of the radiator there is a bunch of wires that go between the headlights, there is usually some connectors here and they tend to get really corroded and stop working. causing all sorts of strange behaviour with lights.

good to know

yea thats what I thought, about the brushed aluminium

I can convert one myself ;) used to do a lot of playing around with old stereos myself

watch out for asbestos.

someone thought it was a good idea to put a car stereo onto my series 3 dash (one of the many previous owners) the stereo is now gone, but the holes and cracks are still there. Im not sure about putting a stereo there, so am trying to think of something else to put there so the ugly bit is...
