Muchas appreciados muchachosThis guy "Eric" has a 2a on coils with Volvo axles and a 4bd1t. He may have answers for you. I'm sure you could track him down through the YouTube channel that made the video.
It's very cool. He also has a mid mount God winch, which makes me feel all funny inside.

A bit OT maybe...............

Have a look at the last post on this page, r.e. portals, then have a look from the start of the thread.

Might be some very useful info buried in those 9 pages.

I had a look at this machine the other week and a 110 chassis on c303 diffs too.
One machine had a disc brake conversion on the c303 portals.
The c303 diff centres appeared to line up well with the landrover drive line.
Both conversions looked to be a very good fit to the landrover chassis width wise and both machines were running volvo wheels.............just add your own suspension.
One machine was leaf and the other was three point coil.
Both owners do visit this site.
