Looking at that "sprinkaanpoot" assembly on my 290, adjustment of the length of the link will alter the angle between the transfer box (it will tilt the transfer box) and the main gearbox but will also alter the load on the main box rear mounting. How much it will rotate the transfer box will...

Let me see what i have around -perhaps one for 280 GE - not sure if it will fit?

Mmmm Bridges i have designed simple ones.. if you pay me a lot i will divulge where they are so you can avoid them with any vehicle heavier than a Jimny..:D On a serious note - we do simplify the bridge structures intentionally with joints and special bearings so we can more accurately predict...

Hi MMG what model is your car?

Andrew I would try the "tie-rod thingy" between the boxes and see if it works - the torque moments on the drive train under full load can make the boxes move in unexpected ways considering the complex support arrangements. Trial and error is an acceptable problems solving if theory lets us down...

I have 4 batteries and one car - can we swop?

Dawie thanks for the informative write up on my question! Missed this answer completely I did not know that an Iltis won the Dakar as well! Wonder what mods Audi did?

Andrew do you have a drawing or sketch of your rotisserie for the G body when you were doing the Chicken Coop?

Questions to the experts: Quite a few years ago i bought two axles from a guy selling a lot of merc stuff nearby - the axles are still new and in original wooden crates. I was looking for an axle since the brackets for attaching the trailing arms on my 300GD rebuild project are badly worn with...

Hi Jay Which part of KZN are you heading to ? We have a few active members here who will be glad to assist. I also have not heard of a carjacking of a G Class - vehicles to stay away from are your Toyota Hilux LDV and Fortuner SUV's and then VW Polo's etc
