I'll get it back to you Andrew, thanks for the loan
PS still no closer to finding a source for the u/j...b'stard ZF and their special splines. Almost worth designing an adaptor to do away with the thing and fit a readily available one!

If there was a decent supply of RHD steering racks then it might pay you to do that ok!

Cheers Si, you know that I would do too! Get investigating that brace of beauties you told me about

I'll take the 222k Legacy back for a song in the meantime, if you haven't raided it for bits? What was up with it anyway, noisy rear diff? I'll stuff it with bananas
@ Nick: Sell my SA's ?!!!

Far too useable on a daily basis from where I'm sitting.

Of course if it doesn't go, then I've got enough parts to assemble a carb'ed 2.1 MV, that'd be nice and torquey and not too thirsty.

Sorry to hear your leaving the fold Ian you can always have a go in "The Horse" to let you know what your missing both Diesel and Syncro wise

and I'm sure I can speak for everyone in saying you are always v welcome to the syncro events and to reclaim your previous post as Tea Bitch

hope your not going to forget us and your invaluable engineering support and production of parts for these v special and wonderful vans. Best of luck with the sale

I suppose I'll need more torque to ferry the tea urn about

...but I mustn't get distracted from the 2wd masterplan!
I saved the lsd for the 2.6, just in case

I would have thought Mr cooper would have handed his cheque over by now for this, i know it's not diesel but it is ripe for a diesel conversion at a later date.
Looks nice and straight, a very good platform I'd say.
I like your SA but that syncro would the keeper for me.
I am half tempted myself.
good luck
Ian

Would you have a few pics of that LSD?

Andrew: I'll dig it out and take some. The ZF (?) part number doesn't google...
Ian: well it's straight enough and a lot more solid after I reconstructed that sill end and replaced the swingarm mount...the bottoms of both sliders do need attention (oops that should be in the ad - better do it now!)
Better stop discussing the van since we don't allow that here - do we

Pics of LSDs aren't that interesting, they look fairly much like any other LSD.
It's the oil spec that's a bit of a mare.

This is the diff Andrew:
