.........Just can't quite get the angle right on these pics, the last (no.1530) being the trailer of course...............I'm sure the drums are up front!.
In the middle pic, which is the shot under the front, beside the left spring pack you will see the flexible brake hose that comes from the chassis rail to the top of the swivel hub, which then goes to the brake drum.

To the left of the centre pic you can see the backing plate for the front brakes. This prototype also uses series type springs rather than the production 101 parabolics - the steering damper is looks different.
G'day 1103.9TDI :)
I sent you friendly a PM :):D:D
cheers
jeff in at cairns land rover specialist knows the 101 ask him about it

The front springs in the pic (apart from the axle being overslung) don't appear to be the Series front springs to me.
The production 101 Salisbury axle assemblies were fitted to 101/7 subsequent to its use as a prototype.

Hi Diana - as the springs fitted to this vehicle are not 101 springs I just assumed that it being a prototype they were series springs. 101s have 2 leaf parabolic springs where this has springs that have four or five leaves.Quote:

I'm not sure what they are off either, perhaps hand-made for the prototype. The Series forward controls have 13 quite thin leaves in the same length as the normal control Series Land Rovers. However they could be rear SIIB springs with the 3rd, 4th, 6th and 7th leaves removed. This would give a length similar to the parabolic and suffice for the purpose of the prototype development.Quote:

On second thought, I just went out and reviewed the rear springs on one of my SIIB, the rear springs are too long to be those used on 101/7, The leaves are the right thickness but too short on the 101 and you can see 4 leaves currently, however you can see evidence of a leaf between current 2 and 3 on the RHS and I could easily be convinced possibly another directly under the bush on the same side.
