Workshop 110 project

<< < (3/4) > >>

biggerlandy:
i am just about to start this conversion on my 90 i see mixed results about 300 lump but what i am happy about is yhat i will be putting a 380 box in it and because its a disco there is plenty of them about i got two in my workshop as spares

solihull-mick:
A disco R380 can be used in a defender, but you do have the change the selector fork in the box due to having a different gear housing on a defender, the engine and box in the 110 was from a disco, drives well with the disco transferbox,

stuntman:
I've just got my 110 through the test this morning, running diso engine, gear box and transfer box  :afro:

Drives very well and it's pretty quick to  :shock:

biggerlandy:
when you say gear selector do you mean the part that onto box or do i have to go inside the box

solihull-mick:
There are a few items inside the box that need to be changed for defender items, as the gear orientation is backwards to disco when using a defender selector top, this does mean a strip down, list below

FTC 5120 Fork
FTC4588 Shaft
FTC 2885 Interlock
FRC 8127 Pin


Few pics to show what im babbling on about  :grin:



This is what you will find under the selector housing of a disco R380 gearbox, note the bearing shape




This is the selecter housing from the same Disco R380 box, note how the shaft connects with the bearing




This is a selecter from an R380 Defender gearbox, totally different in the disco design, using two rollers side by side,



This is how far you need to stripp your gearbox inable to remove the shaft marked



Hope this helps
