hi am liking the look of your 109" :thumbs: and im doing a
similar 200 tdi into my lwb, not sure if your going to be at
leafer's this year but if there of any help i have a spare 200
inter cooler and a military oil cooler ( i had planned to use
the original radiator and military oil cooler to keep things a
bit more original ) but that seams to have gone completely out
of the actual build so i am using the disco unit for convince.
so anyway there here getting dusty doing sod all and if they
can be of use your very welcome to them ?
sorry i can't help with the turbo but i do know of a 19j
complete with turbo and there's being some people that have used
them on 200's successfully :-?
Michael

Hello,
I know its being a while but I`ve not been idle, honest. As said
in the previous post i was preparing for waxoiling well what
i`ve done is chemiwaxed the inside of the chassis, ie every
cross member, outrigger the lot, also I`ve waxoiled the outside
in black, also both fuel tanks have been painted, fitted and
waxoiled.
The engine/gearbox is back in and fine, ill be fitting the
alternator tomorrow.
Both axles are fitted with shockers on rear one for now as the
front one is stripped down, Im going to sand blast the brake
drums and backing plates also the the driving hubs and hopefully
get it built back up next weekend, i got both diff seals and
propshafts fitted this week as well.
Ive brought a series 3 brake pedal box and a servo along with a
master cylinder, which works out fine as my brake master
cylinder is a tad knackered, I just figured seeing as i`ve come
this far with it would be daft not to fit one at this point and
also the offside wing is already had a piece cut out in that
area.
what do you folks think ?
many regards Chris

( that was interesting )

The front axle with swivels on, new seals fitted all round. The
bearings were all perfect so they stayed.

the front brake plates on however, I`ve turned them forwards by
one bolt hole to make fitting wheel cylinders and pipes easier.

Looking good, nice idea running stuff through the chassis rails.
I like the frame tent thing you have looks very useful, I assume
you can throw a tarp over it to make it on to a tent and use it
to hoist, might think about something similar for over the
winter with a light in :-?.
Almost at the same stage as you just need to drop the engine in,
I made some plates for the engine mount from your drawings very
very useful thanks :thumbs:

Hi,
The stuff in the chassis rails is "Chemiwax". its like gavy in
consistency when you pour it in, once you`ve coated the whole
inside, let it drain out and whats left will set into a wax like
state.
It never really goes off so if it warm`s up, it can heal itself
and creep into any places it hasnt got to in the first instance.
the frame is one my grandad made to fit inside his garage, an
excellent piece of kit like you say very handy for stringing the
tarp over.
I`d recomend chemiwax to anyone
regards Chris

Now then, we have had a wee bit more progress since the last
post.
all the running gear is finished, I've fitted gaters over the
swivel balls, it was fun sewing them up.
