My landy V8 project

[Dean Lofthouse]

Looks well Pete.

 

It'll be the resizing thats causing you problems ?

 

I use Microsoft Office picture manager, it's quite simple to use, even for me. I just double click the thumb nails from pictures in Documents and they open in Picture manager, I then click on edit, resize and take them to 800 x 600, they post easily then.

wow, nice project. I had a V8 landy a few years ago, proper money pit and no mistake, I must have spent thousands on it in all, although it doesn't look like it from the picture

 

 

3.5 range rover engine..new lt77 gearbox, 6 point external roll cage, su carbs, electronic dizzy, uprated shocks and springs, 110 shafts, mach 5 wheels and bfg all terrains, spare set of dirt devils on some steelies, lots of underside protection, 2 K+N cone filters and a subaru impreza bonnet sccop...lol

Are the external cab roll cages hard to fit

[Andy R]

not amazingly difficult..once you have cut the holes in the right place, it's just a case of making some brackets, dropping the cage through the holes and fixing it down. You'll lift it out and drop it back in several times though, so get a decent rope system set up.

Thanks SBTC

 

Do you know if they go past the back of the cab, ie interfere with the tipper body?

[Andy R]

yeah, you couldn't have a tipper with the 6 point cage...2 arms go out towards the tailgate, through the floor and onto the chassis, 2 fixings behind the cab, and the two through the front wings...in fact you can't even get much in the back with one of these fitted, they're well practical...lol

Cheers dean, i usually put my pics on an image host site to get the url then paste straight onto the prompt for images when posting.

 

I seem to having trouble getting them onto the hosting site at the moment.

That looks a nice beast, like you say, money pit! I dont think anyone can ever realise how much you can spend on a landy...... until they own one themselves!

 

The cage looks interesting on your 90, i have to sort something for mine, but i dont think i`ll go external because of the soft top. I think it would be a pain getting the canvas under the cage but over the hoops! I also need something to anchor the rear seatbelts to.

Dean google Tornado Motorsport, they build cages for anything no problem. not expensive either highly recommended.
