Hello folks,
Several years ago, before my disco1, I bought a series 2 with a new galvanized frame, a 2.5 diesel mates to an lt 77 and disco 1 axles with leaf springs..
It came as an unfinished project for what I then thought an easy fix.
But yeah, I like the disco 1 axles , cheap, disc brakes, full float etc but the steering connecting tie rod does not play well with the leaf springs.
I assume that is why the PO abandoned the project and where as a nothing knower fell into it.
All good , now several years later I want to get this going and it look that I can improve the angle of the front axle if I move the tie rod 1/2" closer to the pumpkin.
So looking for balljoints with an extended taper shaft to raise the tie rod.
Anybody can help ?
Thank you Johan
