Re: To buy A Disco or not?
cloggy only broke them because his foot is made of 100kg of led :lol: The accelerator is an on/off switch isn't it? I have owned mine for 5 or 6 years. In that time I've had my fair share of broken diffs. Since putting the Salisbury in the rear I haven't had a single diff issue. I recently put in a...

Re: Compression
Best way or Easiest way? Also depends on why and how much you want to lower the compression in the first place. If you are lowering it substantially to then turbo or super charge the living daylights out of the engine then my suggestion would be custom made pistons. If it is just to alleviate pinkin...

Re: Moonshitta
Why Austin A35 diffs? Not the first time I heard of these being used on an off-roader.
Are they strong? Or easily modified? Can't imagine spares would be easy to come by these days?
Or where they just cheap and plentiful some years ago when this buggy was first built?

Re: V8 Dimensions
From the back of the rocker cover to the front of the waterpump pulley (don't have a fan on mine) = 700mm
Width across the rocker covers (not including exhaust manifolds) = 520mm
Dimension are approximate, taken quickly cause it's pissing down with rain.

Well, if you decide to get rid of the viscous fan, can I have it? My viscous decided to crap itself and they are quite expensive to replace. So I shelled out for 2x 14" electric fans as this worked out to less than half the cost of a new viscous. While the electric fans will keep the engine coo...

Re: Installing Drop Boxes in GQ LWB
So it is some kind of adapter which drops the mounting point of the radius arms where they attach to the chassis?
But then it drops the gearbox as well? I'll have to have a nosey under your truck next time I see it. Got me intrigued.

What gauge is the sheet metal?
How's it connected to the chassis? Custom rear crossmember? Got any pics of this with the bumper off?
Need to make a new rear bumper for the Disco and am looking for ideas.
