Which pilot bearing you've used for this set? What engine and gearbox are you running?

Mine was bought directly in Sweden. In Russia also could be found. Tatanka Parts - https://www.tatanka.nu/ -they're major spare parts sellers on Volvo. My sellers e-mail: captainduva@hotmail.com

Front mounted tie rod assy has another issue. It is too close to Arm assy leading. Solution - bend End Sub-Assy, Steering Relay Rod. There are 3 types of Volvo portal axles. 1. C303 - 4x4 pinion and gear 32/11 2. Long 4x4 but with extra axle. C304 - 6x6 pinion and gear 31/9 3. Truck...

To match diff flange with Toyota propeller shaft, you have two options: Adapter New flange (my choice) As Volvo portal axles, tie rod assy is located in front, there is pan-hard mount bracket issue. On pic you see that you have only two finger space left, which is not enough for...

Also during modeling we saw that diff lock pneumatic actuators (yes I have changed vacuum actuators) comes in conflict with arm assy upper bracket. We moved 5cm brackets, problem solved but arm assy upper should be lengthend

There is tricky moment with spring mount. See second pic for understanding. If you weld spring cup to its place, you don't have access to wheel gear nuts. So solution number 1 you can see on pics below. Removable cup. Or make spring bracket high enough to be able push the ratchet.

Yes.

Yes, all is working. It operates at 1,8 bar, but we need 2,1 bar to run it's full potential. Issue with correct turbine will be fixed soon.

Than I have started to mess with portal guys... After 3 day of wild offroad trip with them, I realized, that to keep up in deep rut, my 28 cm ground clearance is not enough. Volvo C303 and C306 which they where driving has 38cm on stock 34" tires due to portal axles. Options I was...

Yes. All story is on youtube, nothing to add. Some people consider it was planed to drown them both, but it not, it just happened so. As you can read from further story about this car here, too much love, effort and money is burred in to it for drowning it for fun. Despite two weeks of...

Hi! My name is Beka. I live in St. Petersburg, Russia. English is my third language, so be ready for what the heck I'm writing about. Mine is on top, not below :) I'm perusing two goals by creating this thread: 1. Sharing information. As my setup is not widespread one, you might be...

Спасибо!

Another question, which turbine you run? From LP6 or from toyota?
