Interesting. Does not appear to be load sharing but not many photos of underneath.

He has owned Land Rovers since 1941

What does that say.

Maybe a project for the future!

Good luck finding CV joints that could handle the strain in the rear end .

would that not make for some funky loads/stresses, being that the rearmost axle is so close to the "middle" axle....I would have though it better to fit 2 rear steer axles in the rear and have them plumbed (hyd) in sync so that 1 joystick controls both and they only ever turn in the same direction as each other.....still independant of the front. Bill, I would think the longfield Toy 80 series CV's in 30 spline be a good option for a rover rear steer. with some machining of them and the swivel ball, they should be able to be made to fit....

Diana, excellent work so far. Would you be able to get some clear close up pics of the rear most trailing arms mounts (from in front, behind and how they attach to the chassis ontop of/underneth and on the inside rail.)

cheers,

Not a problem Serg, but not for a fortnight.

From my inspections so far, it appears to be a 110 chassis with the side rails cut at exactly the mid point of the spring mounts, then a 40" length of straight RHS in a clamshell design (same as chassis) fitted in between the front section of the 110 chassis and the rear section.

Next time I'm up there I'll measure Fred's 110 wagon to compare the trailing length of the 130 BC 40* chassis'

* Is that the correct description Bill (Wagoo)?

Yes Diana that's correct. British vehicle, British terminology.
Re Daves mention of Ackerman angles.I run reverse Ackerman linkage on my series LandRover to good effect.But they have bolt on steering arms that can be re arranged. All coil sprung LandRovers, 90's, 100'', 110'', 127s, 130s etc have cast on steering arms with identical Ackerman angles, so obviously Rover threw Ackemans theory out the window long ago.
I'm interested to know how the angles can be adjusted or set to suit a given wheelbase.

Given the small amount of steering lock the rear wheels would need to make a 6X6 steer around the centre axle, would the unis out of a Series work? Or are they weaker then some of the CVs available?
Or some other uni joint for that matter.

Seriously!?! I hope the mechanic got nothing from the estate.

Anyway, that is a very cool project. Really just making a post to subscribe and to lend support, albeit from afar.

I take it you are talking about the CV's in the 80" as the uni joints in the series are not constant velocity and would be much less than ideal in a constant 6X6, so think, as a minimum, I'd use county/110 swivels and a Salisbury diff, but as Bill suggests even they may too weak.

All a project for another day.
