Fitting Springs, Shackles and the Rear Axle to my Land Rover Series 2 Restoration

[@TheFatgingercat]

How do you know that the spring was the wrong way around?

[@HalfJobGeorge]

It has an offset at one end and it wouldn’t have lined up

[@Rosiesgrandad]

Pretty sure the shackle bolts don’t have washers as standard. Edited to add, confirmed by checking the parts book, no washers at either end of the shackle bolt.

Oh right, thank you, puts my mind at ease! It just feels wrong 😂

Good information and videos as always on the channel! Would you rate britpart gearbox bearings? I'm building my box up and some bearings aren't easy to get in japanese makes

[@HalfJobGeorge]

I try to avoid all Britpart things but I don’t have any experience on gearbox bearings unfortunately. How did you get on?

Hallo George. Sehr ausführliche tolle Videos. Ich kann viel lernen. Habe einen Land Rover Serie 2a von Baujahr 1964 hier in Thailand. Viele Grüße

Nice job !

Is the thread drill bit drawn down by the thread itself or do you push a little bit.

[@HalfJobGeorge]

Apply a little pressure to start it off and then just the weight of your hand to balance the spring in the pillar drill

Machine vice... Fingers are important. (Top safety tip there!)

[@HalfJobGeorge]

Yea I actually have 2! Maybe I should try using them more often haha
