Post by: muddy_90 on July 13, 2006, 17:24:05: its not that hard, all u have to do is cut the battery tray out as the injector pump will hit it and to cut the drivers side engine mount on the chassis and fab one up and the wiring and the fuel lines.

Post by: rustprooflandyracer on July 13, 2006, 21:35:49: Looks good, is it just bolted straight to a standard series box?

Post by: ian_s on July 16, 2006, 14:26:28: what exactly are you doing for the engine mount?

i need to do the same for fitting my 200tdi, and i'm at a bit of a loss what to do.

can you take some photos of that engine mount if you've done it already?

Cheers
Ian

yeah it bolts striaght on to the series boxwith out any problems aprt from lining up the clutch plate and the shalf on the gearbox.

ian_s, i ve been a bit busy at the moment so i havent had time to make the mount but as soon as i get it made ill take some pics for you
Title: nearly there
Post by: ian_s on July 17, 2006, 10:15:31: i've had a good look at it now i have the engine in, and i've decided on what i need to do

i'm gonna use the mount that was bolted to the 2.25 on the drivers side.
turn it upsidown, and its exactly the right size to just weld onto the chassis rail. does this sound like a good idea?
Title: nearly there
Post by: muddy_90 on July 17, 2006, 10:43:28: i was going to do that myself, i weld it on to a bit of plate first to spread the weight for when it came to welding it on the chassis but ive never got round to doing it and i thought that it might not get thought it mot with it mounted like that
Title: nearly there
Post by: ian_s on July 17, 2006, 11:11:38: i cant see that being any weaker than anything else i could construct.

the other thought i had was to us the remnants of the old mount the i cut off. its got to be strong enough as it held the old engine fine.
Title: nearly there
Post by: ian_s on July 17, 2006, 22:49:13: well, its done now, i've just welded that old mount onto the chassis. will get some pics tomorrow.

Post by: RCRockCrawler on September 15, 2006, 21:35:20: That looks brilliant! Spats aren't really to my taste, I'd only use them if I was fitting wider axles. I'd love to do something like that with my series, but my welding isn't really up to scratch at the mo'

Post by: muddy_90 on September 18, 2006, 21:52:24: spats r now black, gave the roll hoop and bumper a coat of hammerite and also painted the bits that r meant to be galvanized.

Post by: Littledan on September 18, 2006, 23:17:33: is the front spat in the rite place looks to far back or is that me :?

but looks awesome buddy wish i had the money and stuff to do that!

Title: nearly there
Post by: muddy_90 on September 19, 2006, 18:14:03: the reason way its a bit far back is coz it might have been a pain to bend the flange for the spat to bolt to because of the curve in the front off the wing

It's just you. On leafers the axle arcs backwards under suspension compression.

Post by: Rich_P on October 08, 2006, 15:56:31: Yes, but even so, it does look excessively far forward. But otherwise everything looks fine. :)

Good work series3_mad.

Post by: ross501 on October 08, 2006, 19:58:15: my series 3 axle is forward like that seems its how they are
Title: nearly there
Post by: Rich_P on October 08, 2006, 21:23:41: Yes, I know the axle is located further forwards. But with the wheel arch having been cut to fit the 90/110 wheel arch extension, it makes it look like the wheel/axle is very far forwards. That was all.
