I have had to post in here because there is no option to post photos in your section ?.
this guy is from ireland. do you know him
pretty cool. whose is it?
item
1988 and reg.ed in wicklow
that looks like a serious peice of kit
were did you see that
on diff lock .com, he wants to know about diff ratios as he wants to make it 4 wheel steer, he has 3 g wagens. :shock:
that is properly Modified
you obiviously have an evil plan ian!!!
Hi the owner was with me last week to collect a front axle out of a scrap G' he plans to convert this to four wheel steer....
I know did you manage to get the ratios right, he wanted to know if it was the same for the 230 and the 300
Hi the plate on the axle diff housing will tell him ..I also wondered about the rotation... he may have to fit a rear diff...the axle he took has no difflock provision and the rear axle I still have is the same.......
Hi it appears that the 5 speed manual uses 5.286 ratio diffs as standard whereas the 300ge auto and manual uses 4.875 ratio diffs.... factory options are 4.111. 4.375. 4.857. 5.286. and 6.167 ratios using 5 gear manual GL76/27K-5 and auto W4A 028 gearboxes.and VG 150 transfer boxes throughout.....
Ian, as per my post on P3 my 1979 240 has 5.3 axles with 6 bolt flanges these were upgraded in later models to 5.286 dif and 8 bolt. Tell your friend to be sure he checks the diffs especially if the axle has 6 bolt flanges.
Hi All,
Good day, the mans name is Mick and I had the good fortune to compete with him at this years 3 peaks challenge. He was a winch monkey for his mate Steve. A nice guy with great skills and interests namely G wagens and trail bikes.
Have a look at www.leinster4x4.com and go into the Our vehicles section and then look under Mick's toys for some more pics.
The pic shows the G wearing 37" tyres I believe but he has since discovered they are not suitable and is modifying accordingly.
Regards,
Mike
He would obtain a considerable boost in performance
If he reduced the weight of that centre mounted rear shackle
