    Komar... there's a name I haven't heard in a while. Tell him he left a box full of Saab turbos at the old shop.

    Thumbs up

    Note that the early 110's had narrower front radius arms than the NAS Discovery, so you'll need those as well.

    KB is Kevin Buckley unless I am mistaken.

    You'd probably get by with the dosco axles particularly if you aren't really heavily laden and using a 2wd t-case. If I were building a hybrid from scratch I'd keep looking elsewhere. Land Rover made compromises in making these trucks that you don't have to.

    Narrower meaning the width of the arm was narrower or the distance on on the chassis was narrower?

    The width of the arm varies, not the length.

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but 110s have larger diameter rear springs, so some bodgery will be needed there.

    Also, later Range Rovers/Discos tend to have dual circuit brakes on the front, where 110s had single line brakes.

    Also, as has been mentioned, the axles aren't as strong so don't load it up.

    You only want early 110 narrow radius arms if you are using an early 110 front axle with the corresponding narrow bracket on the axle tube. Otherwise all other axles use the wider style and thats what you want. I usually just leave the radius arms bolted to the axles when I swap them.

    A little update: I have not pickued up the 110 chassis only because the distance involved ruins a lot of the financial benefit of its cost. Right now I am considering just getting a 109 Galvanized chassis as they are ready to go and all the parts from my 109 will swap over. The exception being that I would switch to FJ60 axles.

    If you end up not using the 110 chassis you have located would you mind passing on the info on it? I am sure there are people here who could use it. Heck even I would consider it.
