mickappy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 its simple really. it goes where the gt/e one goes in without extending wires or anything. as the loom comes out of the injection rail I just bent it back and routed it thu the bulk head under the washer bottle, it just fits very snug:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Power Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 since I made the new prop shaft and fitted it. I never had I balanced and its been bugging me ever since, so I popped it off and down to a prop shaft specialist,, it came back looking completely different:) he said mine was shite and this new 1 is the dogs:).. he also said it would of come thu floor... this was what it looked like when it went in.. came back looking like this this flange was to replace the old rubber doughnut thing all fit like a glove. I can sleep easy now knowing I aint getting a prop up my arse on full tilt:))) another lesson learned... Holy sh1t only just seen this!! Yep that old prop was lethal!!! For future reference, there is a gkn flange available which is blank, and can be directly drilled to bolt straight to omega tripod flange without any adaptor plate needed. Its the flange used on the MT75 ford box when fitted to LDV 400/convoy vans that came with transit engine/box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opelmantagsi Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) looks very very nice indeed, the top pic is pretty cool with the deep blue of the sky through the garage door on the right top corner, then I looked left and saw the axe hanging off the wall top plate and imagined someone walking past and clipping the axle handle and the axe head bouncing off the car. please please take the axe away before something bad happens Edited January 20, 2014 by opelmantagsi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary6303 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I would get it carbon dipped myself. I would also get the rear bumper modded so it sits closer to bodywork and sort out the end of it as it (as they all do) seam to tapper of at the wrong angle, i'm having mine so it is straight and it would line up with your 400 arch lip.
