No spacers, they fit beautifully (130mm arches needed!)

Its been almost a year since I updated this thread!
 Quite a bit has happened since, I'll do my best to get the time line right...
Bought another Defender 300tdi 110 last year.  ex RAF, completely unmolested, perfect chassis, awful bulkhead. I bought it for the misses who now hates it and wants rid but I'm determined to hold on to it...
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge On to Red, I posted about some gearbox woes I had (understatement)... Click image to enlarge This is what fell out... Click image to enlarge I'm very lucky that I pretty much have a full spare truck to steal off ("Black") so with some time off work I attempted the job on my own. Biggest job attempted yet! I thought it'd make sense, while the box was out, to replace the rear crank seal and fit a new clutch. I ordered some bits from LOF Clutches in prep... Click image to enlarge So, started stripping out Red... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge and out came the box... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge The next job was to get the replacement box off old "Blacks" block... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

With the box Xmember off there was the obligatory rust...
Click image to enlarge There's no pic of the repair but it was welded up, treated and coated in copper slip before the Xmember went back on. Anyhow, the replacement box was put on a stand and given a clean and fitted with the HD Clutch fork from LOF...

Old clutch had to come off, flywheel removed, cleaned, new crank seal on and new clutch fitted...
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Then time to fit the replacement box. Did it on my own so this is the only pic. Click image to enlarge I forgot to take any more pics of the box cause once it finally slotted home I was too busy celebrating!
The hardest part in all this was replacing the brass spigot. I tried everything but in the end it was a cold chisel and hammer |

Before the box went in I had to repair part of the footwell.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I thought I'd taken loads more pics but its now welded and I've got new floor panels in from YRM sealed and screwed. With the time I've had I also managed to put in the dual battery setup... Click image to enlarge I worried needlessly about fitting this, it was a doddle in the end. Feeling confident with the progress I'd made, my attention turned to the Allisport goodies I'd stockpiled! |

So, started stripping out the front, turbo included (new one going in).
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Then just started chucking everything in, I had no instructions from Allisport so had to wing it, new silicone hoses on too... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I thought I'd do up an old winch guard I had so wire wheeled it, rustproofed, primed and painted it. I love the look of the front end now with the A-bar too... Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Oh yeah, SS exhaust gone on too...
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge She is now a completely different truck. Feels like a huge boost in torque and power.
Just passed a mini landmark too. Click image to enlarge |
