Does the chassis have tubes in where the shock mounts bolt through to stop the chassis bending when you tighten the bolts 3 Where can I get extended bump stops Saw some on Ebay but seller says 1986 on, whats the difference.

Paddocks seem to only list standard height ones.

Does anyone make adjustable rear lower arms (to alter pinion angle and wheel centering fore and aft in wheel arch.

Diff (being larger than Range Rover diff) is very close to the bottom of the steering box shaft, going to have to run vehicle with fairly high ride height as I cant see an easy way around that clearance problem.

Moving engine further back will hopefully solve that little one.

If you think of rawl bolts, the bracket is mounted to the chassis with these and It wont twist or bend the chassis.

Not sure about adjustable lower arms.

Do you mean the trailing arms If you do you can get cranked arms.

But I need cranked ones for the front more, as It looks like I need to get it riding pretty high to avoid clashes between the sump and steering.

And I imagine if you go too high it might overstress the part of the arms where they mount to the chassis.

Double cardan propshafts allow for all the extra lift you might be thinking of, quite expensive though.

The two of us were able to lift it off and carry it to where I wanted to store it.

Bulkhead and inner front wings remain on vehicle for time being.

So I have installed these and now I have a bit of extra height to avoid the sump -v- crossrod clash, and the steering box -v- injector pump clash, and to some extent, crank pulley - v- front crossmember issue.

This will be welded to the patrol gbox xmemebr and hang from the rangerover chassis holes.

Next job is finish the trans mountings and then sort a panhard rod for the front.

I have gained up and down adjustment from the Patrol (see the hinge near the bottom).

I am trying to squeeze the clutch servo in, this means moving the brake servo and pedal over to the right, and moving the clutch pedal over to the left a bit.

Getting Clutch and Brake servos and master cylinders on to the pedal box plate.

Been cracking on with this and have taken the inner wings off.

Now all taken-apart-a-tated Been fitting a new clutch while the engine and box are out.

Other jobs are to weld all the bits that are just tack welded, neaten things up, box in things that are just cut out (part of bulkhead etc) then get all the components sandblasted and repainted.

Numberplate lights Rear bumper ends Door Mirror (From an early Patrol) Scuttle top, wipers, bonnet, sill plastics, new towball, some work on doors and of course another test drive.

Drove it with new wheels, gearing is much nicer and what a great driving position.
