This steering damper is identical in every way to the one fitted to my vehicle.
Mine is a '66 SIIA 88 but who knows how may parts were added over the years and not added from the showroom.

So there is a fair bit of backlash in the rear diff, thinking of sticking the Salisbury from my series 3 into it at this stage just to speed up getting it back on the road. So the question is, am I likely to have a different ratio in the Salisbury from the s3 than the rover diff in the series 2 ?
After someof the very early 80" Series 1s, all Series Landrovers had a diff ratio of 4.7:1 except the Stage 1(V8 and Isuzu) which were 3.54:1, the same as the coil sprung 90/110/Defender.
Be aware however that a previous owner may have changed the ratio, so check!

So ripped out the donor diff today.
Was going to use springs and all, but a stubborn rusted bolt meant the right Spring had to stay!

Poor old yellow Landy is starting to feel a bit naked!

Also started reassembling my spare front axle components to swap out into the series 2

Neat crane!
So I have stripped down the Landy a fair bit more, and have found significant rust internally in the chassis that were not too obvious until I turned it upside and had a good look

Went tapping around the chassis with a hammer and found a soft spot, cut open to find this!

Also a lot of cracks around bush mounts

I have decided to not use this chassis for the moment as it requires too much work. Will be continuing the rebuild on my 1960 SII SWB chassis
So to continue the rebuild I have sandblasted and repaired a few minor sections in the chassis

Will be sending off to get galvanised later in the week hopefully.
In the meantime have been busy cleaning and sandblasting components for paint
