Re: Choke Cable Chestnut

I have a whole cable in place but the cable at the carb end is damaged and the inner is too short. It is presently bodged at that end. So effectively needing to replace the whole length. I can reuse the switch I guess, but it's the actual cable and housing that are the issue.

Re: Choke Cable Chestnut

Not sure what/which Pegasus you are referring to. There are several that are related to LR and none of them seem to have anything to do with choke cables.

I am looking at making my own. I'll have a look at BL parts, but what brands used a choke light switch like this. Or did all of them do that?

Choke Cable Chestnut

Yep. It's the question that keeps coming up. What to do about replacing the choke cable on the Stage 1. A workable solution may be to use parts from the Bowden cable range but it's the switch that needs to be addressed. The main two issues with the choke cable are its length (meaning that the Defend...

Re: Restoration

Can't answer your question, but my assumption is that the hub on later model LRs would not be the same diameter as series because of disc brakes, different axle and bearing design, etc.

Re: Restoration

Looking spick and span there. It'll be worth the effort, I'm sure.

Re: Restoration

Congratulations! :D

I know how nerve wracking it can be to plan to have multiple variables at play, hoping the plans all work out.

Re: Restoration

Looks good. It will be interesting to see how the adhesive holds up against the rigours of movement and chemicals from roading, etc.

What did you use for the adhesive?

They are easy enough, but the slave is in a typically annoying position. I found developing an extra elbow joint helped immensely. :lol:

Presumably you have sorted this, but to get it towable, put the transfer case into neutral :wink:

Re: Restoration

Mine are also not parabolic. They are 10 leaf springs, two as helpers. They have no maker stamped on them and I don't know who did.

Re: Restoration

Not certain. I ordered them through our local Landie spare parts dealer. I think they may be Rocky Mountain, :?:

Re: Restoration

TBH, I don't there is an easy way to get a Salisbury back into position. So many moving joints that need to be exactly lined up... Your springs are the same as my new ones. I found them to be quite soft compared with the previous standard duty springs. Not overly impressed with them, given the price...
