110 tipper build, info needed!

[haforbes]

Hi,

 

I've decided to get my old 110 back to road worthy condition through the winter. While I'm at it I'm fitting a tipping body from an Ldv. I've just put the tipping gear on and it sits very high, which I was expecting, but it looks a little too high(photo attached). Before I start making alterations, I was wondering if any other tipper owners could give me an idea of height of the bed floor from a reference point on the chassis? Rear x member would be easiest maybe..

 

Any help appreciated!

It's a scissor type which does away with the need for a multi stage ram, at the expense of sitting the entire tipper bed higher.

 

Go with a multi stage ram to get the height reasonable

I'm about to convert a 110 hcpu to a tipper but I want to keep the landrover body and keep it to the original hight / body lines

 

Iv not started yet but I'm going to thin the tipper body frame down so it sits in between the landrover chassis

 

I think choosing the right tipper gear is important there's a few different types

 

Once I start I'll put a few pics up

Nice , I'd be interested to see how the fuel filler point was done on that

I think they just use some silicon flex, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

 

Looks a nice smart conversion still looks factory, probably going to look in to a new smaller Ram & Pump as the transit ones look a bit big for this style of tipper

There's a Hilux near me which is used to deliver log which looks normal but tips, it has a small sub frame with a short upright ram with long travel.

Denz, there lovely conversions you've done and afther looking at a couple of old transit tipper body's Iv been "saving" for a conversion Iv realised there useless, like you say pay an extra few quid out and get a proper Ram

Not all transits have that crappy scissor lift mechanism, alas mine does and it struggles with 1.5 ton
