I spose my initial questions have been answered, It seems most prudent to find a 109, I may have still been tempted to build up onto an older chassis but i would not want to cut and weld new suspension mountings onto a brand new galvanised one, Richards said that the springs are mounted further...

I have sent a p.m

Thanks for the good advice and siggestions, I want the space in the back of a 109, i have an 88 with a rotten chassis and bulkhead, on my last 88 i did everything from axles, diffs, doors,gearbox to new main bearings, i know i would enjoy doing a chassis swap and the few 109s i have looked at...

Is it possible to rebuild my rotten 88 2a diesel pickup onto a new galv 109 chassis and bulkhead, Richards have said that the shock/axle dimensions are different, is this a major prob?, if so could i just source and fit a 109 back axle?, i am replacing the wiring and brake lines anyway and the...

why?

on reflection they might only be suitable for single systems,not dual so the defender setup is most likely the best way to go, atb

that one was from e bay. search for 'remote servo' and a fair few pop up, i thought of buying one and putting it under the centre seat before settling on upgrading the full system .maybe try looking on a vintage british sports car forum for reviews, compatibility etc, atb

give it a rest pal,this is the series section which is for all things series/help and advice, seasons greetings to you and yours

going back to your original post maybe a remote servo would do, they fit these types to older MGs and the like.this one is £50

i found a defender pedal box ,+ junk servo from a breaker but it didnt cost much,20 quid or so, the baulkhead aperture has to be heightened by about 1/2 an inch or so but no cutting of the wing was required, all the bolt holes lined up exactly. i combined my servo + dual m/cylinder with an 11...

they are a about £65 new,i got an old junk defender one inc m/cylinder from a scrappy for my '88 1969 2a petrol and when i was sure it all fitted correctly i bought brand new, less than £100 all in, the manifold vacuum take off is a standard gas fitting, atb and good luck,

driving with my knees wide apart gives enough legroom, re post 2, here,with some ingenuity and fettling is a possible fix,88's have the fuel filler hose in the way so not as straightforward as this one,(pic not mine,from fbook) atb and seasons greetings

i settled with motul 20/50 mid detergent classic mineral oil from opies(local) with a genuine filter,

yes.1/2 a can brushed on,it could be much better but doing the whole vehicle kept me busy,i hand painted all the bodywork as best i could.

i bought mine off ebay(u.k seller) and the one i bought is no longer available,i looked before posting the thread, a search for 'gps speedo' will find other sellers.the picture was from amazon iirc some are round shaped so i suppose they could be hard wired in but i use mine on a greeves...

this is what i used, just over half a can 2 coats and it looks good.

at a rough guess i havnt had a vehicle speedometer checked at an mot for over 25 years and that was just them lifting and spinning the front wheel of a motorbike,i dont think my vans speedometers have ever been checked in 40 years, i presume if the mileage had stayed the same from the last test...

do an mot history check, dont buy in the dark.

my series 2a 88 '69 speedo's needle fluctuates a fair bit and as i have smaller tyres fitted which affect the gearing i didnt want to be over or below 30mph in traffic etc , i bought something similar to this gizmo for £15ish,i hooked it up with a poundshop phone powerpack and it does the job...

all done a while ago, no probs but the starting handle being off centre threw me at the time,ive done a few hundred trouble free miles now. the advice,pics and answers i received helped a great deal when fitting my engine, there is another thread going atm with similar probs so hence my...
