    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    The reason I am asking for the weight of the tray is that I need to check
    the drive shaft angles before ordering new drive shafts.
    The stage 1 was originally a V8 with LT95 and has been converted to a 4BD1
    MSA5G and LT230 with Grubs adaptor.
    I was thinking of sitting a 4BD1 with LT95 across the chassis to simulate the weight of the tray.
    Putting the tray back on is not an option at the present time.
    Would the weight be similar.?

    Hi Mocky

    I think you are overestimating the weight of an alloy tray. One of the steel and hardwood trays would possibly weigh that much, but an alloy tray would be around the weight of the LT95 alone. Particularly if you sat it on the rear of the chassis.

    Hello from Brisbane.

    Brings back some memories.

    Can't remember the details - someone else might - but when the alloy trays were first offered in the late 60s or early 70s LR ran specific ads boasting of their additional load carrying capacity. It may have been 3 cwt or 30% or something like that. It was based entirely on the net weight difference between the alloy and standard wood and steel frame which was still offered in parallel.

    Ours had the steel and wood tray.

    Cheers,

    Hi Diana

    Yes it might be better with less weight further back.and a full tank of fuel could get me close to what I need.

    Thanks

    A steel tray depending on the gauge of the floor material used is usually around 300-350 kg.
    Aluminium is about approx one of the weight of steel so you could guess a steel tray to be around 110-125kg.

    Just a quick one here.... What ever tray is on the back would be irrelevant to prop angles... The prop that you fit has to have enough travel to cope with wheels off the ground (max shocker travel) down to overloaded or heavy landing (axle touching bump stops). Though you think you'll never get to these extremes it pays to cover that travel. With a diesel conversion the rear prop on a LWB should still be a reasonable length. Having run 101's, what looks steep under a series probably isn't.. I'm currently fitting a truck engine and box to my 101 and the rear prop will end up not much longer than 500mm long. I'm going to use Range Rover wide angle joints and have lifted the nose of the Salisbury slightly to make sure the joints both run at the same angle. Ideally the driveshaft manufacturer will want a max and min length flange to flange. He will then probably add a bit to cover himself, so you need to jack the vehicle up from the chassis and take a measurement, then sit some ramps on the back and drive something up those ramps to sit it on the bump stops and take that measurement too. Hope this helps. Cheers for now!
