8.25x16 work pretty well and fit stock rims.Look for secondhand Dunlop Super Grippers in this size(ask at Beaurepairs in Collie I used to get them from Beaurepairs Narrogin),the railway maitenece companys use them on their small trucks.Normally this size is only available in a light truck highway tread.

With the speedo now working I gave her a trial on a nice flat road. 135kms/h before I decided not to push the 186 any further. It certainly does not labour now at 110kms/h. It's running 7.5's. I'm pretty happy with it now and will leave them on there.

While I had the tailshaft out I changed the unis, however there's still a growl at high speed coming from the rear diff when deccelerating. Getting there!

The LWB S3, it's high speed transfer case and gearbox, have since been dismantled and used to restore an Ex Military LWB S3 back to reliable running condition.

Back to the original subject of this thread. Louisa's SWB S3.

(You'll notice that the SWB S3 is now referred to as "Louisa's", as I've spent the last 6 months on "my" Ex-Military

)

I have recently fitted a disk brake set to the front hubs. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/series-3/8...ml#post1217141

I've also gotten a 5 speed LT77 for free (thanks Defmec) and purchased an Ashcroft LT77 to Series Transfer Case adaptor.

For those that are interested, I got this from the company below.. (They are in Sydney, but I'm sure companies, that carry VDO products in other states should be able to do the same if one requires/requests it)

Airco Auto Instruments Pty. Ltd

Paul Reynolds is the chap I spoke to and met..

The mod only took him one day.. (Brought it in, in the morning, done by the afternoon..)

Wolf, just wondering how the cable and hall effect sensor is going ? does the speedo jump around or is it spot on?

Matt,my Bro Matt has the same speedo.They "average out" the speed reading so they read constantly not jumping up and down.Its done over milliseconds so is still accurate.
They are a very good speedo conversion for a Series landy.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet. But I can't see that there will be any problems with this setup. I still have a lot of things to do before it's on the road, and ready for the speedo test..

good work looks great

My speedo stopped working on my ser3 a while back, and what is was, the small brass collet at the speedo on the cable had came loose,allowing the cable to move into the T/Case just enough to disconnect itself from the speedo, I solved this by cutting a match stick to size at the T/Case pushing the cable back into the speedo,
