Not sure.The standard ones are welded on the same way so i did it the same as original.

Ok engine is back in went in quiet easy so was happy about that..

I need to cut off the bumpstop bracket off the chassis once i do that i'll bend the bit that bolts to it so that its up on the side of the chassis & weld a nut in there so the bumpstop bolt can go into there..

Hi Banjo,

I have taken some photo's of the radiator mounts for my Stage One but am having difficulty uploading them to my Flickr account. I will have another go tomorrow morning and see if the images will upload. Looks like you did a fair bit today.

Regards Warrick.

Looking good Jason

I'm getting close to starting my 300 tdi conversion, just can't decide which gearbox to use

I'm going to put the defender power steering in too

Images uploaded. Hope they are of use.

Regards Warrick.

Nice work! I wish I was game to weld engine mounts

What will happen when you go for a road worthy/rego? Will they want engineering certs on that?

I noticed in your photos that the steering relay (through the front crossmember) is missing! Did you weld that up? ? ? Are you not going to steer this one?

Yeah it all has to be engineered . the mounts the engine the gearbox the seats the wheels the power steering..

Yep i cut the relay out cause i put power steering on all mine using a toyota 60series power steering box..Go back in this thread & you'll see how i cut it out & got it ready for the steering box..My Green one has it done aswell..One handed parking even in a crowded carpark

Thanks Warrick thats excactly what i needed..I was pretty sure the radiator sat in the top of those mounts..Does anyone know if it is possable to buy these mounts anywhere or am i going to have to make them..
