       88&quot; Trialer

       This was the ever evolving 88" I used to use for CCV trialing:
       Galv chassis,
       Bettaweld Cage (logbooked)
       5 bearing with 40mm Solex (Tried a back to front mounted Zenith
       so the float chamber worked at proper climbing angles - Good but
       not great!)
       4cylinder 246numbered "1 ton" gearbox.
       Range Rover power steering with 90 column and PAS pump.
       Discovery Axles converted to leaf springs
       265/75R16 Insa Turbo Special Tracks
       Various parabolics and long stroke decarbon springs.

       I do miss it!

       Looks good.
       How did you get over the track rod hitting the leaf spring
       problem?

       Being a CCV motor I just rotated the axle. More diff clearance
       and prop angles were better. But there was little if zero
       Castor. Perfect for trialing but trialing ONLY!

       That's what I did with my IIa had great fun in it best thing is
       when you where getting less points than the 90 gangs ;D ;D (they
       do not like it as Series Land rovers are meant to have no twist
       and less bling)
