80 Series with volo portals

Post by Nev62 »

This is simply amazing. 3 full days to convert an 80 series to Volo portals :shock: 17" clearance to the diff and 24" to the rockers. :cool:

i dont think anyone has told him how to install his fairlead onto his nice arb bar

quoe from pirate "Because you have to mount the MileMarker upside down, the ARB is made so you can run the winch either way."

If you read the thread on Pirate he says the winch is a Milemarker that feeds out backwards to Warns etc.
It has to come out over the drum not under like conventional setups.

Those axles were originally fitted to Volvo C303 (4x4), C304 (6x6) or C306 (heavier 6x6) forward control vehicles.

Portal gear reducing boxes at the wheels increase the under axle clearance by approx 125mm.

Anyone know what they are?

I have seen heaps of french military vehicles in my travels over here, and they have all been renault 4x4 and 6x6 trucks (haven't noticed portals) and a small 4x4 that looks like a copy of the puch/g-wagen. I think they may have had some pinzgauers (sp?) a long time ago...

edit - was it one of these? It is a Marmon-Simca V8 - with portals

Yep, looks the same. Probably old machinery, as they don't have too many wars in NC. Well, not since 1988 anyway.

Wonder if they have diff locks??

The website says they have "rear diff locks" - whatever that means - so they must at least have 1.
Flathead Ford V8 100 bhp Petrol engine, 4-speed full synchro gearbox, Hi/low transfer case, rear diff locks, high portal axles, coil suspension, 1M articulation, 0.33M ground clearance, 60% gradability.

Dunno if that would be the rig then. How bloody old would it be to run a flathead V8?

Might have to bug the army back over there to see if I can find out.

By the way, I saw a dude with a white Disco on portals a couple of weeks back, in Sydney. He had "sunnyside up 4x4 club" on his windscreen. Anyone know it?
