WOW Disc brakes never realised they did them with disc brakes, that will be rock solid for you a bit heavy but it certainly wont fall to bits. |

Are you going to keep the nato hitch on or going to change to a normal one? Are you just gonna tidy it up or is it gonna get full expedition treatment with cooker, fridge etc?
I keep watching sankeys on ebay but they all seem to go for good money.
Wonder how hard it would be to get the discs/hubs machined to be 6 bolt and use paj wheels? Would be good for expeditions in case of multiple punctures |

Well the clean up strated today, you can tell these thing spent their life behind Land Rovers a bit of fixing around the arches is needed!
I was going to build a hinged lid from ply and 2x2, when I priced it all up it will be cheaper to use chequer plate!!
Only a few weeks before chillin best pull my finger out |
