    Thanks, I looked at bearmach, whilst the exhaust was pretty good value at $200, shipping is $488, assuming it arrives with the same number of bend it set off with.

    I can get britpart one here but have no desire to buy them.

    Thinking I might be heading down the custom path.

    At the time I purchased locally from Four Wheel Drive in Blackburn. But that was a few years ago now. (Maybe 3 or 4 - they have since changed hands and moved to Hallam I think).

    Freight from the UK is always a huge killer unfortunately.

    More preparation for engine assembly..... looking for silicone grease or a suggestion for an alternative.

    All the info I can find says that that the rear crank seal should be smothered in this stuff... and that it should be in the kit. It isn't in mine....... Not found a supplier locally so assuming that there is some other substance I could use. Has anyone used something different with success?

    My local Repco is getting used to me going in and asking for all sorts of strange goops and oils, but no luck here.

    Exhaust search on going but clutch search sorted today, found one in stock at Australian Clutches in Adelaide.

    Repco list silicon grease but would have thought any grease/oil would have done the job CRC Silicone Grease 75ml - CRC Chemicals | Repco Australia

    As Grey Ghost mentioned, Four Wheel Drives moved to Hallam and went through a couple of changes of ownership.
    Best to phone them, Bobby is very helpful and Murray (who works on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays) knows his stuff and should be able to help.

    I'm surprised that Paddocks won't ship the exhaust but they seem to have switched to DHL whereas you used to get a choice of freight company. Might be worth trying a few other UK suppliers.
    Most of the Australian LR suppliers should carry the exhaust (or be able to get it), years back exhausts would have been made locally.

    The clutch from Paddocks might be cheaper, they tend to have two alternatives a 'brand name' and one from India.

    Got my exhaust from John Craddock, full system, no problem at all.


    Again, including shipping, cheaper than local...

    Regarding the silicone grease, I have found the CRC product to be a bit thin & fluid. I could have been unlucky and it may have been a one-off.

    I use Molykote 111 instead. I bought it from Bearing Service Centre.

    I use it on the lip of all the oil seals I install, including the large swivel pin seals.

    Cheers

    thanks all, in the end the answer was simple.... found some at supercheap auto, sold as Silicone Paste, but tracked down a data sheet for it and it is a high temperature long life silicone grease suitable for 200C + temps. on sale for $8 if you don't mind!!

    Technical question if I may... what is the trick to fitting the handbrake shoes with the prop shaft and assembly fitted? The manuals just say 'fit shoes' but for the life of me I cannot see how to fit the springs first and then stretch the shoes over the flange.... the spring doesnt fit between the flange and the adjuster and I can't see how I get in there to fit the spring.

    The manual shows the spring behind the shoe, if it was in front I could see it being possible... is there a trick or do I jsut remove the propshaft and save the swearing...

    Just remove the prop shaft, and the output flange. It may be possible to do it without, but it will be so much easier without them there that it is a waste of time, effort and skin to not remove them. (I removed them after trying to do it with them in place.)

    Thanks, I’ll give him a try.

    I’m also looking at options to have the front piper made up. I have the old one and it’s a pretty simple setup

    I also found someone selling custom headers for a series 2a, not sure exactly what 3” pipes will do for performance, but if you had to replace a manifold then it was quite a cheap solution.
