Hi its a homemade job.. There is a few more pics on my build page . Cheers

Almost got this thing squared away. Got it out the workshop and gave it a wash to get all the dust off. Had the carby rebuilt and was best thing I did, runs smooth from idle, and pulls nicely thru the rev range. Had put a supposedly new radiator in but the drain plug leaked, not from the plug...

Hi, I think they would be a bit trickier to mount in that location. They would end up tp far forward once you made a bracket that cleared the windshield hinge bolts. How about a bracket that came off the top door hinge bolt holes ( the ones the inner portion bolt to inside the slot on the...

Pretty same across all defender models. I used a Britpart Item. MTC5217 | Mirror Assembly | Mirrors & Fittings | Britpart

I liked the look of the Icon mirrors , but could not justify the spend. Ended up making a small adapter plate to take Defender mirrors. They have a nice spring loaded fold away function as well.

Did a some custom made joinery for a new client , had a fully ARB kitted out 200 series out front his house. I made comment turned out he owns 2 ARB franchise stores . He then made the mistake of saying if I ever need anything he wouls see what he could do. After some research we sourced this...

Here in Aus these sort of headers are pretty common. The two 40's and 1 60 series Ive owned were already fitted with them when purchased. The downside is they dont have a flange to attach the rest of the system . On my current build I have welded V groove flanges at the connections . Even on...

If you have a concern about the electric fuel pump constantly running when in 'on' or 'acc' , say engine has stalled , I Teed a oil pressure switch of the oil pressure sensor . If the oil pressure drops too low it will cut the fuel pump. Bit of a safety feature as well as stopping the pump run...

Just catching up on some small stuff. New gasket , replated springs. Side vents done. Got the tyre carrier and jerry can holder mounted, just got to mount the actuall jerry can frame. Then wire up the number plate light. On the look out for a suitable work/ reverse spotlight.

Nothing tricky , just hot water and detergent. Probably a bit worn in places , but they will do until funds allow replacement. Cheers

Tailshafts rebuilt. Waiting on some new 11mm bolts and nuts to fit. Bullbar back from powdercoaters , and fitted Homemade rear bar , need to fit carriers next. New retrosound radio , made a fascia to mount it as I had not realised the PO had enlarged the opening and the supplied...

Hi Rick. BFG mud terrain. 33 x 10.5 x 15. I will take some better shots at the weekend , was getting on for dusk . The rims were on the shorty when I bought it. They are pretty old school period rims , but I didnt want the alloy look. Powdercoated charcoal they look alright I think. Got a good...

Finally got the new rubber for my project. Had the old hurricane rims blasted and powdercoated. Picked them up today. Just had to fit them , and then push it out the workshop so you could all share my satisfaction !

Getting some more wiring and interior sorted. secondary fuse and relay box for accessories. Got some bits back from powdercoaters , re assembled jerrycan holder . Number plate mounts on back . Bit hard to make out but reversing camera as well. Cleaned up and mounted the seatbelts. Ebay...

Got my motor restarted after two years of my project. Deleted a gas conversion . Rebuilt and modified the headers. Petronix 2 ignition on new dizzy. PO had deleted the factory pump, went electric . Upgraded that to a carter brand. Adjusted valves , cold then operating temp. Tuned by lean drop...
