    Yeah, it was a bit rough, but paint does a lot!

    This is it at the moment, but still a bit to go. I bought a Stage1 grill for it, but recently I was thinking that I might put it back to the Series3 plastic grill.... it just looked a bit more interesting. Bar work to come also.

    There is something nice about the look of the SIII grille. Perhaps something in between????

    Have you done anything about the suspension, Bobslandies showed me some info on a plastic membrane that gets adhered to one side of each leaf that allows the adjacent leaf to work more easily giving results approaching that of parabolics.

    Thought I may give it a try with one of my SIIBs.

    The membrane sounds interesting - I'd be interested to hear how you go with it. The springs are still to be done. I've been speaking with King Springs in QLD about having some new ones made. They will be about 2" lifted and 200-220lb/in with the leading sides of both front and rears 35mm longer and cut to adapt the Rover hangers to Cruiser axle pads and allow for the slight difference in perch seperation at the front. A lot of the tech in rates and cambers is coming from Ben aka Isuzurover who has spent some time on this. I think King have some thoughts about increasing articulation from them also. I cant do this until last though.

    Ford 9" diffs have a very unusual housing with reinforcing webs from the axle housing to the diff banjo on both top and bottom, not Rover looking at all. However the big thing protruding through the hubs could easily be the fully floating hub from some of the larger Ford "pickups". Although thinking about Ford F250s didn't they have eight stud PCD?

    the only ''ribs'' ive ever seen on 9'' diffs are on the nodular iron center housings not the diff case?

    They weren't ribs but more like the reinforcing on the underside of the Land Rover axle casings with Rover diffs. Perhaps it is the shape of the top and bottom elements of the actual housing that flare up to the top of the banjo giving the impression of a diamond shape lying on its side with a curve at the top and bottom around the banjo.

    Still in my way of thinking not very Rover looking at all. I recently rejected purchase of an ex-military Vietnam vet 109" because of the Ford 9" diffs being unable to be disguised as either Rover or Salisbury diffs. from the rear. Even if I did paint the centre white.

    And a lot of people would have bought it purely for the Ford 9" diffs!

    I still can! But there is a lot of metal worm in the firewall and doortops, a Holden 186 with not many of the military fittings left.

    It even has Detroit Locker centre as a spare.

    Fitting plastic between the leaves is quite common. The first time I saw it was on a 1979 Mitsubishi Lancer.

    I don't think it is usually adhered to the leaves though - doubt you could get it to adhere for long anyway.

    A coat of spray-grease or motorcycle chain lube applied between the leaves periodically helps (I put wheel ramps under opposite corners - to slightly cross axle the vehicle - and apply it to the 2 springs which are in tension (drooping)).
