Re: SER1 '57 engine mounts

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/09/24]

No one seems to have noticed... but in the latest Legend on page 13 is a 
short article that the club are about to organise production of 80" and 
107/109" galvanised chassis because no one else does them.

What you have to do is contact Peter Hughes, Technical Officer so they can 
gauge the level of interest and also borrow a 107 and 109 chassis so they 
can measure up for the jig.
C'mon...get your orders in!

What I want to know is if  I order a 109 chassis to convert my 107 (thinking 
one day of installing a Land Rover 2.5 diesel and avoiding the issue of the 
damper hitting the front axle), will I just essentially need the longer 
88/109 front wings and bonnet and maybe a new front propshaft?
Cheers
Martin

Hi fonts of knowledge post 1953.

Can anyone tell me whether the chassis brackets for the engine mounts of a 
'57 SWB are in the same location relative to the gearbox as the chassis 
brackets of a Series 2 / 2a 2283cc Land Rover.

I guess the same question could also be asked: "can you fit a 2283cc Series 
2 /2a engine with standard engine mounts straight onto the chassis brackets 
in a '57 SWB without having to alter either the chassis brackets or the 
engine mounts?

Cheers
Diana   :-)))

P.S.  It's not an 80" bit of knowledge so why would I know!!!
