Stretching my 110.

[tommer9]

I spoke to the garage today (independent LR specialist since 1951) and they said it would be fine, seeing as that is all land rover have done for years and years (which is what explains the fact that all but the most reent 130's are plated as 110's). Mine would be a really eay job too as my tipper comes off so easily I could present them with a chassis cab. They have done this mod several times in the past (for English China Clay i guess, for whom they do all servicing work) and other than the expense of a propshaft (I had thought about what you suggested Peter, but apparently the 130 props are significantly bigger than 110) the only other bits would be fuel and brake lines and wiring loom. The more i think about this the closer i am getting to doing it. I think it is going to be a project for the new year....

Great stuff, looking forward to the pics!

 

I am hoping that they will let me be there (they often do as i have been using them for 13 odd years now) and possibly even help, so if so, I will be getting pics.
