i think the yanks got 3.7s after a certain year... google knows.

i will double check now I have a maths lesson on gear ratios but pretty sure I have a set of 3.7s from my old V8 40rty....

don kyatt does the hood rest pads as a kit for not much more than that... could save you some hassle.... and rattles! anyone thought of man-a-fre http://www.man-a-fre.com/parts_accessories/ARB%20Snatch%20Straps.htm would like to be able to get a couple of these soon! two for the price of one nearly ...

maybe a shackle reversal would be investigating if you're going to be using all those HP. I remember litty rusty's 40 was an ex rally support car which had been converted to shackle reversal for the high speed work. hey guys - its been a while, this is my second post in over 18 months like shorty ...

marks adapters recommends standard holden clutch in landcruiser application. When I replaced the clutch the idiots put a heavy duty one in and was useless compared to the standard... cant exlpain it though. Would therefore go standard flywheel too. Not sure what you would achieve going for something ...

rip up the rear carpet and look at the top of the semder unit and the electrical connecter especially. mine has corroded to the point that it has cracked the plastic connector... results in a shit electrical connection. Unfortunately my sender works a treat - its the un expeccted loss of fuel that ...

i am going ot face the same problem but with wider 60 axles in a 40 series. i was going to put it all together with the ubolts and no welds - weight and shape of perches with the u bolts clamping it will be good enough whilst its in shed and rolling down driveway. once nearly complete, shaft length ...

mine were just 4" speakers... i am not much of an audio buff so suited me fine...

mine are at the front bottom of each door - the bit you probably kick every time you get in and out... no photos sorry. Worked well there as there is plenty of room without fouling glass. overhead console would work

no - the intermediate plate is from a 60 series that had the vacuum opertated push button for engaging 4wd... so there is no hole for the detent ball and plug as found on the lever activated type. its cast there but not drilled and tapped.

getting it drill out and ta;ped for m16 and replicating the old plug to hold the detent ball and spring...

hope it works

i just dont have the gear - got no drill press, dont what random taps lying around the place and havent got the right sized drill bits... costly exercise

guy down the road is going to do it for me on his lathe or cnc machine... see how it goes...

cheers

yeah - engineering shop down the road had to do some research and thats what they come up with.

part # 50 is called "intermediate cable" for the drum brake. so go to the same catalogue page as above but search handbrake parts in stead of wheel parts....

i was quoted around $10 i think

so the kit has everything needed? how much?

next pay should see me getting all that crap too!

awesome - sounds quite cheap... painting it yourself?

definately blue roof - keep the one colour....

what did sandblasting cost for the cab?

your disco is running on gas using the fuel map for petrol which is not always optimum for lpg - hence having a Unichip with dual maps it switches between the two giving optimum tune for each - like having your cake and eating it too! the problem i have experienced with my unichip (bought the car ...

andy i thought terrain tamer/sunstate 4wd/don kyatt (whoever they are!) have a spring kit and/or individual springs listed on their parts catalogue under 60 series (I think your would be the same - Rays pic is my 60 series brakes) http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee107/braddles1/untitled.jpg hope ...

Hi guys Can anyone local to Brisbane let me measure up the location of a factory gearbox mount so I can install a 5 speed into my shorty? Its the crossmember that mounts to the front bottom of the gearbox... would like to drop round and measure it up and take some photos... this weekend would be ...

cheers guys

just got home from bunnings with a smaller drill bit, cold chisel set and a few rums so may get it sorted tonight if my balance lasts long enough!

why would you get custom length extra mains made? that is what you have with the 55 springs. If the ride is not quite right adjust the spring pack to suite. You have lots of options as you can utilise the 55 pack and the 40 pack. I used 60 series main + second leaf and made the rest up from the 40 ...

so you guys had good experiences with 55 springs? thinking if it doesnt work out will get some custom length longer mains and go from there...

hi guys need some replacement diff perches to fit onto 60 series housings... there are a couple of well know companies out there doing them for about $100 a pair but for a bit of cutting and bending of 4mm plate seems a bit pricey... keen to hear of any options or any one here from a fab place that ...

Hey guys

Got thr springs cleaned up and the mounting hardware sorted just need advice on removing old rivets holding the rear shackle hanger mounts to the chassis.

Once Ive got them removed I can shift the mount back an inch or two and get it done.

thanks in advance...

their prices appear reasonable on everything i have got from them so far... deal direct with your local supplier though - not the boffins in melbourne... they also have everything I asked for to date - right down to cone washers in my landcruiser...

would draining the oil, removing the outer pieace then jacking the opposite side of the axle up help dislodge it? then try and remove the centre... might take a bit of jiggling... wobbly the pinion back and forth to see if you can dislodge it...

hey tigerz11
