cheers, don't need a workshop. Apart from a few weeks in a mates garage mines all been on driveways! Managed to do a bit more done this week not as much as i'd like. got a nice order from craddocks with some odds and ends, also new stub axle and UJ that's a job I'm not looking forward to...

I had a britpart set that i bought blind on ebay, not thinking about who made them as the price was good. they are utter ****e! i went to retrieve my front wing which was basically been sat covered with sheeting since painting it in the summer, as i picked up up without even touching it one...

I got mine from this seller Landrover Vehicle Paint 2.5Ltr-5Ltr Cans - All Colours | eBay i used their matching thinners at first, but they weren't cheap, i got by later on using a few £9 cans from the local autoshop. the quality seems pretty good, i've bought 7.5 ltrs now plus some small...

that's really good actually, very clear. did you buy new parts or just clean up? are the pins and the pawl retainer completely free or were they glued or fixed? one of mine is stuck to the cover casing and the over is stuck in place the same as yours covering the pawls. photos: both the...

cheers, very useful booklet, but the hubs are definitely beyond my skills, i'd guess the parts are like hens teeth too. I bought an old workshop manual on ebay a while back, inside there was a copy of that, plus fairey overdrive fitting instructions and a capstan winch installation guide...

i picked up an old set so i could still roll the car when i was sorting the good ones out, they're pretty well rusted and shot, so i figured it might be worth doing, and then the good ones will potentially last a lot longer. I'd still paint them up, but underneath i know i wouldn't need to...

Ok i was planning on taking the knackered tires off my wheels and getting the rims blasted and painted up again, is there any reason i can't have them galvanised? I've got a few bits of spare steel like a windscreen lying round, and if i had a pile of stuff i might pull the cappings off too and...

i've considered it, but i'm actually going to wait until the projects complete or i won't have anything to compare the driving too. it's already quite a bit taller on the para's i wouldn't want it being top heavy as i speed around bends :)

are they noticeable enough to be worthwhile? what are people's general thoughts on these?

i missed that and it's gone now. did you ever sell it?

I used to practise my juggling, 'till i dropped my other two.

got an answer for you! bear in mind i don't know how accurate the scales are alone, with a bit of oil in it, ~14kg with the handle and other bits on top, dead on 15kg hope that helps

next time i'm in the work shop i can have ago at weighing for you, i'm sure ive got a set of hanging scales. hopefully down there on saturday.

mines is a 75 and it was on the drivers side, but i swapped it so i had room to fit a reverse and a fog light, i didn't think to check if that was legal as i had seen others with it on the passenger side.

wouldn't freewheeling hubs sort the problem?

you could but its not an expensive part Famous Four - Part Information for FF007084 - Rubber Pad - Radiator Front Panel to Chassis - Series IIA and III Land Rover

you could fit the whole axle and have yourself disc brakes, not easy, and i think you'd want to change the rear one too

factory fittings and bodges are often so similar it's hard to tell the difference

where are you up to with this? not heard anything for a while hope its going well

As a side point, i've got the freewheel hubs cleaned up, i'm not so sure what to look for on the internals, but to me they're not working perfectly. the little rectangles aren't springing out, and i assume this is how they lock, there's some other bits i think that need cleaning and...
