Stage 1 V8

That looks like a hydraulic winch you have there Andy? Is it pto powered or an electric pump?

No reply as yet from the guy who sells the stage 1 bits. No listings from him on our local auction site either. I'm guessing he's away on holiday probably.

I'll keep you posted.

Beauty. Need any Series 2 bits? Tel I've got series 2 bits for miles, I even have them stored at Mum & Dads place. I'm actually thinking of giving up my series 2 project. :( I've found a forward control ex ambulance that I want to buy. It has all stage 1 running gear. Just gotta talk the wife i...

Kwikstage. JUst a long shot. Was there any new old stock spares available when all that Stage 1 stuff was sold of by the army. Lookin for Railco bush and pin sets? Thanks Tel Hi Tel. Yeah there was absolutely gallons of old stock sold off when they got rid of all the stage 1's. I'll email the guy t...

I just bought a brand new one. Ex NZ Army stock for NZ$30. I reckon the postage would kill it, but I could ask the bloke if he has anymore. Its not genuine LR, but made up in a mould, perfect fit, what more can you ask for.

Let me know if you can get it sent cheap enough to make it worthwhile.

Have a gander here. I am not a member or anything to do with this place, so no axe to grind or anything. http://www.simplemachines.org/ heres the link to the prick gloating that hacked our site. see how many he has done. sheesh. no life. http://www.zone-h.org/index2.php?option=com_mirrorwrp&Item...

Wrong forum for this I guess, but anyway.... I am a member of 2 other discussion forums that used the same phpBB format that you do here. Both have been hacked beyond repair. It is widely known that there is back door in the coding somewhere that allows hackers free reign to wreak havoc. Do a google...

I'm glad you said that... it was my inclination to do the same (use it just about everywhere), but I had conscerns as it does have some lubricating properties to it. I can assume, then, that you've had no issues with overtightening bolts (that you've used it on) or bolts loosening up in time? no. d...

Cat. You poor buggar, no workshop!

Here in NZ one can only dream of a stage 1 s/w.

I'd give me left testicle for one.

copper grease. Down here we call it copper kote (brand name I guess), and it is awesome stuff. You can also get it as a spray on (in a spray paint can) which is great too. No real difference to the nickel anti seize compounds from what I can tell in terms of effectiveness. I use anti seize compound ...

just tap it gently but firmly. If you have a soft hammer ie: a copper head, or leather head that would be ideal.

Can't see that doing any damage, so long as you don't beat the snot out of it..

belt it with a hammer?

gentlyish

if the engine is out, a good trick is a piece of angle iron around 25mm X 25mm jammed in between the flywheel and summat else, like the bellhousing, or whatever. Works well. Havent used it on a 3.5, but works on a few other engines a treat.

Kiwistage1V8, Thanks for the tips... Finally got around to pulling the engine. Hopefully I can get it stripped down and off to the machinist next week. What do you recommend for headers and exhaust? I have to admit this is my first Land Rover, so I'm still trying to figure out who the better afterm...

Punter I chucked out my original carbs and whacked on a Edelbrock Performer inlet manifold and 465 vac sec holley. The edelbrock is a dual plane intake, and it has about 10mm machined off the divider plate that's between the 2 halves of the intake. This gives 5.4hp increase on a dyno. Dunno what it ...
