The LT-230 transfer case was used after they stopped using the TT95 with its more or less integral T case. Range Rovers stopped using the LT-230 circa 1989 and went to the Borg Warner. (This applies to the RRs sold in NA, I'm not real savvy with what LR sold down under- your market may have differed ...

There is a fellow Named Simon in Canada who put a 5.0 HO from a mustang in his 101FC, He is a pattern maker for aluminum parts so he cast up an adapter to hook the LT95 to the Ford V8. I think he might be willing to make more of them if there was a demand. He is/was a member of the Ottawa Valley ...

What is the Quaife biasing vs. the Truetrac's? Does Quaife ruun a different ratio F vs R ?

Got it....ford 10 spline 1 3/8 diameter...Rover transfercase gear - 10 spline 1 3/8 diameter...will fit snugly. Thus now just need to look at how to make a plate adapter.

Can anyone give me a hand- a friend of mine just asked me for this and all my Series LR bits are 60 miles away: Sent: Tue 12/16/08 12:26 PM To: Matthew Nelson Matt, I am stuck at work...and need to know the diameter of the rover mainshaft at the output gear - the 10 spline gear that enters the ...

If you you could get me measurements for the cuts that would be great. I could eyeball it from internet pics but I'd love to have something more to go with. Thanks!

Wasn't there 2 different versions of the ARB 10 spline locker? One was easier to convert to 24 spline than the other? [edit] I forgot I had this file from ARB usa maybe it is helpful: Pre-1993 Land Rover factory 10 spline differentials are prone to two weaknesses that have been addressed by Land ...

That is a cool looking truck! I have a set of threashed IIA Wings/Fenders that I've always wanted to cut like the Australian Military Fenders but somehow IO've just not had the balls to do it, I just don't trust myself to eyeball it off a picture and get it proportioned right... Do you have access ...

From the longfield website. 1st 2 results are: Standard toyota CV (27/30 spline) - failed at bell Welded/heat treated toyota CV (27/30 spline) - failed at 30spl stub shaft EDIT - INTERESTINGLY... The CS area of a 1.31" toyota shaft is about 5% greater than a 24spl rover shaft. If you increase Dave ...

sorry to bring this back from the dead but does anyone have the figures for 30 spline Toyota type shafts?

EDIT - a few series guys in the US/Canada use chev rears in the rear and series rears up front - seems to work well for them. Those 1/2 ton Chevrolet pickup springs are really popular with the Toyota crowd in the US- I think that is where Timm Cooper etc. got the idea from- They are what he had on ...

damn! it is gone, must have been deleted or something....

cool! You guys have already seen this haven't you? http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/features/rover/0611_4wd_1957_range_rover/ He changed more than I want to but his build is kind of interesting also ran across this last night with regard to np435: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?p ...

Yes, that hump onm the side encloses the revers gears or something like that. It may be a problem. Depends on the clearance there- it is a fairly common swap for jeeps and FJ40s here in the states and I think the FJ's need to have the hump trimmed a tad. I don't know anyone who has done one in a ...

I guess I'll give it a try, I already have them so it won't cost me anything other than the time and effort. I can replace the Birfields with Longfields if they prove to be an issue. The track width looks to be perfect and upgrades to brakes are readily available here very cheaply. I can probably ...

After reading up on all the Toyata to Rover axle case conversions: http://seriestrek.com/toyotadiffs.html and on here and elsewhere I am wondering, wouldn't it be more simple to swap FJ40/55/60 axles entirely under a Series? I'm pretty sure I've heard of it having been done I just can't find out ...

When I get a chance I am going to pull some series U jointed axles and send to Bobby throught Keith at Rovertracks. I just haven't had a chance yet. Anyone care to bet on how many foot Lbs they are good for?
