Stage One V8 disk brake conversion

Its more the point of how the parabolics will work compared to my coils. Also its an exarmy chassis thats too good to destroy. You dont have to run the front shaft out of phase as the front diff pinion angle is std rangie 6deg. If it was inclined more than that yes you will have to but not as much as 45deg, more like one spline on the slip joint. I dont have the formula handy.

why didn't he just put the coils and all in the Series 3 , not much more work really than swapping over the spring perches would have been

Everything is possible, but one starts to wonder what the cost/benefits of these conversions are? When you can go out an buy a 90 or 110, which already has the same track as the Range Rover axles, disk brakes and coil sprung to boot.

Hi Diana,

Half the fun is in the build. My mate has a rangie already but wants something a bit different. Plus all the bits have come from various parts cars we have bbought, mainly for other parts. So we havent had to go out and specificly buy the parts. Even down to a stage1 bonnet, firewall, seatbox and floor, the ex army chassis and station wagon body. They were all going to be sold so we said why dont we build something different?

Not sure about that Dave, but standard RRC & 110 both should be 45 deg out of phase on the front shaft, so I think your hybrid should be too.

Agree with Dave here, I totally enjoy the build too, & you end up with a truck just how you want it, I've got a 110 but wish I still had my Hybrid,
I do hope to build another in the near future. Theres something nice about starting off with a couple of piles of junk & driving an awesome machine out of the shed
