Leolito, IIRC you are in the Phillipines? You might not need the TBH there. I wouldn't ditch it here in Canada.

Cool collection of bikes! It stands to reason that guys who are infatuated with 20+ year old Land Rovers would also like some classic motorcycles.

I ride a 1983 Gold Wing that I've had for a dozen or so years. And mostly I commute to work by bicycle. It's only 8km each way, so not nearly as ambitious as it sounds.

'56 Buick on the trailer? That car is pretty rare over here, it must be one of a kind in the UK!

I agree about the ugly boxes (for the most part) they make on this side of the ocean.
How heavy is the Swift?

We really should be swapping front drivers and passenger seats across the Atlantic so we all end up with more life in our drivers seats.

Air pressure should keep it in place. There shouldn't be any problem running the engine with the jackstand under the axle. It's what I've done anyway.

And a big thank you to you Gordon. I really appreciate this site, including all the very helpful people on it.

Sorry I don't have a lift but I have supported both the P38 and D2 on the frame (chassis) rails with no issues

I don't have a lif

Yes, be sure to leave extra to wrap around. Not doing that is the main mistake I made. Unless you are looking for mistakes you'd never see it though.
The other mistake I made was doing a very poor job of the sunroof blind. As per the original, I peeled the foam backing off of the fabric and the glue bled through the fabric. How have the rest of you done the blind? Do you leave the foam backing on and just strip it off on the edges so it can fit the sliders? Or be very careful to only use a little bit of glue?

On the wheel torque of 80 ft lb, does anyone know why my D2, with the same wheels, calls for 103 ft lb? 80 has always seemed low to me.

Keep pressing the collet in while you pull the hose out.

As I said I haven't done it, but it seems to me that with air depressurized, and the chassis jacked up, you could pull the bladder off the top and bottom fittings and simply remove the bladder.

Sounds like you're on the right track.
I've also ordered parts from Will, and would also certainly recommend him.

I don't think it will move until you get closer to 100psi.

It seems to me that you could r&r the rubber bladder in situ fairly easily, but I haven't tried.

Thanks for the reply Marty. It sounds like I shouldn't worry much about it. So far I only have a winch on my Series 2, none yet on the P38 or Disco.

Okay, thanks for the reply. Too bad, it would be fairly easy to replace one in the bush if you needed to.

I believe Richards caution is wise. Eg, if you try to draw 200A from a 150A alternator, I think the alternator will try to supply 200A even though it won't be able to, and you risk burning the alternator up. If you are only at idle, the alt may not be turning fast enough to burn itself out, so you may be okay. Having said that, I see people using their winch with the engine running reasonably often, so the danger might not be that high.
