    Ikea 6X6D - anyone have an allen key?

    After owning a new project for a few months yesterday I started bringing it home. The only problem is I seem to have lost Ikea's instructions and need an allen key!







    Can anyone help me out?

    sure,

    but do you need the metric, imperial, BSW, ISO, JSA, or BSP sized allen key?

    Diana,

    They keep spares behind the counter. Just go and ask, they'll cough one up!

    Must admit I've never seen a flat pack Landie before......

    It's Ikea - don't they just have one size?

    A mechanic took the D150 apart to do surface rust treatment of the chassis without the owners permission, then asked for a few thousand $ to put it back together. The whole episode then ended up in court, but the owner died before it could be re-assembled. I bought the D150 from the estate.

    Been playing around with a few bits today.



    I really thought that the vehicle would be a C6X4 with selectable 6X6. But playing with the mechanism on the "B" axle above (modified Rover diff) I find that the drive to the "C" axle is a lockable diff, giving C6X6.

    Excellent find, I would be very happy with that!!! I would love to help, but difficult from all the way down here, and of course you can ask as many Q's as you like. Something tells me though you won't have much trouble working it out

    Am quite looking forward to the project.

    The big issue is that it came from Steptoe & Son's yard and there was a Disco I also disassembled with boxes of bits stored next to and on top of the D150 boxes of bits. So knowing which bits belong to what and what's missing will be a challenge. Knowing what goes where is a challenge whenever you get a car jigsaw I suppose.

    The D150 is a 1991 build 3.5 carby V8 LT77. Not happy about the small V8 on such a heavy vehicle, so am looking at fitting a 4BD1 (which I have) but it's a Stage 1 4BD1 so doesn't have the PAS pump. Don't laugh at me, I'm going to use the LT85 on the Isuzu, at least for the time being to save on headaches. I also have a Defender under dash a/c unit so am seriously considering fitting it as part of the re-build, but need to find the fittings for the A/C pump on a 4BD1.

    The part you haven't seen is the chassis, it went up to a steel fabricator and Landy enthusiast's factory for the mods to the engine mounts. It looks very straight although there seems to be a bit of chassis worm inside the laminates of two reinforcing straps. So they are coming off to perform a Mk1 eyeball inspection and repair. Then the fun bits are deciding what other mods will happen!

    Thinking of an extra-cab and maybe a narrow rear door on the LHS to access the rear area. Have been discussing the mods with Daniel at Mulgo, who will likely do the body panel mods.

    Decisions decisions!

    Sounds very interesting! And, for what its worth, my 4BD1 has had a non standard A/C installation for nearly twenty years now. (pictures available if wanted, but really just pointing out it can be done).
