More work on the under carriage

Meant to take an image of the sleeve on the transfer box.


To quote from Ashcroft Transmission website:

"The hole that supports the head of the intermediate pin in the LT230 casing is prone to wearing, and the pin elongates the hole so that it is out of round. This can lead to a transfer case whine, and an oil leak. Using our CNC lathe, we turn a stepped bush from EN24T steel. We mount the casing in our CNC mill, and machine an oversized hole on the correct centre and press the steel bush into the housing."


Added the transfer box gear selector rods. Fitted with new plastic bushes and clips. Also the breathers with new copper washers.


Fitted new rear bump stops. One thing to note is that there is a ridge that is offset on the back. This needs to be matched correctly into the chassis.


Fitted with new flanged bolts, nuts and washers.


Fitted a PCT adjustable towbar.


Needed a bigger torque wrench to fit the M16 bolts.
 

Fuel tank all fitted with guard and hoses with new clips.
