I like the lathe solution but would have used emery paper myself so you would have saved heaps of time on me!
keep up the good work, I hope all comes together well and without fuss...
Good luck bluey!

i hope everything goes to plan.we intend on painting first thing tomorrow,then probably more diff assembly then we will get the old springs out and pick the best ones,clean them up and give them a quick paint i will get new springs one day but for my project this will have to do,depending on how time is going then i might start at looking at getting the 2.25l petrol engine out of my s3 so i can put it in this one for my project if i get all that done tomorrow i will be pleased so fingers crossed
when I did my tractor joints I packed them with Fluid grease, guarantee that it will not leak out......Quote:

That's land rovers for you.
Same happens with your knee joints , except that you dont need fluid grease :p
BTW the coating on the swivels is hard chrome so dont sand it off Master Tony,
what's wrong with a block and tackle from the roof truss if you tom it up near to the lifting point?:(Quote:

Its from Land Rover FAQ's

Was thinking of giving it a crack on the 1953 80" once the Game is back on the road.
Hope this gives members some ideas
