Aaron whats the reasoning behind changing the transfer box, seems most people go the other way and fit disco ones? just wondering its something I've been advised to do

well got to love a 4 day weekend, made up all the brake pipes and got them bleed seems to work nicely just got to get the engine up and running to check the servo, brake pipes not in that pic but thats were the wing had to be cut to fit around the servo. most the pipework sorted...

sorry i am aware its an awful picture but you have to put the bolt in before the top bolt. its fine clearance wise just needs moving out.

in the end i also got the exmoor one the diagonal supports suit some holes already on the cappings but the other 4 needed drilling, I've flipped my brackets for the belts the other way round (down yours are up) and seems ok just need to re-drill some holes further out as the belt is reluctant to...

haha thanks well yes its fitted but need to work out a mechanism to adapt it to the 300tdi under the bonnet :rolleyes:

yeah certainly differant, wish i could but unfortunately need to get the one I've got finished first :o thanks for sharing the pictures though looks like a good day was had by all :tea:

any history behind it or has he converted it himself ?

sounds good, spent ages looking for a canvas for mine eventually one turned up for a sensible price just got to get the damn thing roadworthy now :p Sam

I've recently brought an R tech one seems ok considering its the "baby" of the range, mine runs off a 13amp plug but with your larger budget and big supply you should be able to get a pretty decent one. :) Sam

they all seem to look very familiar in design, well to me anyway:confused: . the picture with it tack welded together doesn't inspire much confidence but i do hope there fully welded. the only other option i can see is a modified military seatbelt/roll bar, but they seem considerably more money.

Top work as usual Aaron, great feeling isn't it having a like new rolling chassis. sucks on the job front good luck mate :tea:

cheers pal, yeah I'm surprised how well the paints done I've tried scratching it off and its adhered well only issue was the one hot day in the summer :roll eyes: the fabric stretched and left four white unpainted bits underneath the diagonal strip but they soon disappeared once it cooled down...

Hello guys I'm watching this with interest, got my self a ragtop coming friday for my '67 but looking at the seat belt arrangements. Originally i was looking at the exmoor bar but i think it will foul the spare wheel (bolted to the bulkhead) but came across this on ebay LAND ROVER SOFT TOP...

Wow cracking work as ever Chris, that tub is a work of art looks like its taken some time. whats the reason behind the wooden floor? and yes i think its a good idea to fit the seat belts. keep up the good work :D

hi there i was in the same situation as you got the standard model chassis then later in the project decided to drop a 300 in it, they werent available to buy then but found some pictures and measurements and made my own worked fine. if you have some steel and are handy with a welder you could...
