Hi Mandy, thanks for the link. Sadly not the type I'm looking for, as my arches are a different shape. Flatdog used to do a flat type of "universal flexi arch extension". They don't seem to do them any more. I was hoping yours were the same. Good luck with the sale and thanks for your reply Rick

Hi Icbandit, I'm after the flat type to extend lightweight arches. Don't suppose these are like that? (Link not working for me to see)

Wow DieselDog! I doff my cap as well! Great skills and a very kind thing to do. I had stopped coming on LandyZone, but it appears to have become a much nicer place!

Pan hard rod bushes! Search "Death wobble".

Necessity is the mother of invention! ;)

Usually straight forward with DVLA. Fill in the section on the V5 with new details, engine number/change of fuel type - and send off. Sometimes they want to see a receipt for new engine.

Just a thought, is your front prop set one or two splines out of phase?

Fabsil- good stuff! My series canvas "drunk" 2.5 liters of the stuff and it now never leaks. The canvas turned a few shades lighter due to no longer retaining any moisture. I don't know the answer to what to re colour it with, but you would obviously need to do it before applying Fabsil. One...

Got the same as this from same supplier few years back. Its been fine and still looks/works great.

Check your prop shaft uj's! ;)

They are Jeep wheel arches similar to these: Jeep Wrangler TJ Fender Flares - Wheel Arches 7" Wide | eBay

The chassis/ Vin number is the identity of the vehicle. Whatever that number is, is what the vehicle is (unless tampered with). Things get confusing with pre SVA vehicles that were modified before The SVA legislation came into effect in '96 (I think). Before that date, could well be just another...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought back in the days of military series motors, some even had 900x16's on the bonnet!

I carry pretty much everything previously posted plus an axle set of Timken wheel bearings + hub box spanner and full set of spare coolant pipes. Everything is secured in bolted down military boxes.

I put 300tdi mated to lt77 5 speed into my 88" hybrid. The R380 was too long and rear prop would've been too short and prop angles too acute. Lt77 was from 200tdi 90 which has shorter bell housing than disco. I altered engine and gearbox mounts to suit and gearstick is in usual/normal position.

Windscreen mounts on vent panel have been changed to accommodate 90 windscreen. Will have a bit more of a gander later.

Also no bumperette holes and no hole for trailer electrics connector. Rear body is shorter. It has only 3 brackets down the side for canvas not 4 as usual. Measure wheel centers to check wheelbase, though I think possibly shortened at the rear.

Will have to study the pics a bit more later, but your rear X-member has 6 body mountings not 5 as on most LWT's. Suggesting to me that it is homemade.

Is it 88"? rear body looks shortened?

I know it's got the LWT/military rear crossmember but no hole for trailer electrics? bolt on gearbox x member+ mods (I think) and out riggers would be about an inch shorter than civvie ones. Can you see if the rear cross member has been changed? It would clear up the mystery of the 2a part. The...
