The quality and accuracy of advice in this thread has taken a dive..

Hypertherm

Don't forget the part about the material specs too. Pretty important

I have a cheap bow and arrow bender, with dawn dies and the roller modification.

It will bend NB pipe past 90 degrees without a problem.

It will bend Seamless Tube up to about 50 degrees before it deforms.

I brought my Dawn dies from Blackwoods, trade account. They are not cheap, and i can't ...

Yeah mate ive got dawn dies, bends beautifully, just need to eliminate the two dents from the 'rollers'

Cheers guys

Bit of a dig here..

In page two of this thread Zoltan posted a picture of the modified rollers on one of the cheapy benders, turning them into slide blocks...
Do you still have this picture Zoltan? Or anybody?


Cheers

Any particular reason why you would use SHS instead of tube? Cost?

Nah, no repairs. I've already pulled it out and cleaned it up, I just thought surely, surely it couldn't be wire from when it was made.

Thanks guys, appreciate it

I've pulled the axles out of the front of my LN106 to put in new cv's. I found a wear mark on the long axle, no scoring or gouging just a shiny line around the circumference. So I pulled out the center to search for the cause, and this is what I came across. This is the first time i've had the axles ...

Hey guys, just pulled the front diff center out of my lux. Have a question or two hoping someone can answer.

1. The wear on the spider gears in the photos, is this too damaged to bother putting back in, or is it an acceptable amount of wear? The photo is taken of the worse area. The teeth on the C ...

Sweet thanks mate, appreciate it

How new are we talking?

Yeah pretty certain i'm following. If i've got a rear center in the front, when going in reverse, the diff will be running on the original side of the teeth

Dual cab, single cab..?

Can you elaborate a bit for me? I cant picture what you mean.
Cheers

Haha thanks mate

Bit of a dig..
Is the info in this thread accurate?

I'm having some front diff issues atm, and on the off chance that the center is farked, I have a rebuilt lsd rear sitting here doing nothing. I can bolt this straight into the front?

1996 LN106 solid axle 4.3s

Cheers guys

Im on my phone so wont bother attempting to quote...but the comment about the 'semi long pulse intervals' or whatever not being strong...please explain?

So do i assume from that i cant replace the carrier bearings without completely disassembling the 3rd?

:bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: I just farkin wrote this out and then had to log on again and it dissapeared :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words:


I have an LN106 hilux which is my daily truck. I just pull the rear diff center (4.3 lsd) out due to a vibration it's developed. Theres virtually no ...

FJ45 and FJ47(ute and troopy) came with H and 2H.

so if that is a factory fit engine, id say its a FJ45 chassis.???

Pretty much all of this is wrong...sorry mate

RAY185, It looks similar, but slightly different shape and looks to be different bolt pattern. Not sure why it says 3B engine, every search I do shows that part number is for a 2.4 surf/hilux

I've bitten the bullet and buying a new one from Queensland Cruisers (thanks hj 45)

How about complete factory 40s power steering?

I had thought about that, but from what i've read 60 steering is much better, and isn't there still problems with the tyre scrubbing the steering arm (at the rear of the tyre) on factory 40 steering?

I hate you.

Thanks for the replies fellas, if you do have a spare, dont part with it!
Apparently they don't make them anymore, there's only 2 left in Aus so the bloke at Queensland Cruisers tells me. $140 for the bottom, $120 for the top.

Thanks 91Mav, I need to get it engineered so i'm gunna have to try and locate the elusive 55 shaft

Cheers guys, nah haven't tried any auto shops yet, just spent a few hours searching around the net, i'll be checking out repco, aussie auto ect on monday.
It's strange it's pretty easy to source the housing for F,2F,2H ect but nothing for the B motors
