    Gearboxes used for 1800 upwards

    Hi Trikky, it's not been built for torque, more to cope with hills when loaded with the teenage daughter's copious amounts of clothes and make up lol My requirements were nothing to fancy, just a steady cruiser that doesn't need to crawl up hills

    Gearboxes used for 1800 upwards

    I would take you up on that if I was nearer, cool offer thanks. And yes it is just before the 40mph I naturally want to change up too.

    Gearboxes used for 1800 upwards

    Thanks for the info so far. At the moment the options seem to be a cn/cm code box, a freeway flyer? or Tofufi's idea :) CreationBlue, I get what you are saying but it still feels/sounds towards the higher end of the revs at 55mph. It pulls up the hills lovely with the 1776 extra boost and...

    Gearboxes used for 1800 upwards

    I'm currently running a CA code box. I have a 1776 and when on the motorway feel like I need another gear tbh. It feels like high revs at 60mph so won't go any faster than 55. What boxes are you using and how do you find it across the range of driving, pro's and cons?

    Carrying a paddle board

    Best insulation??

    I think everyone has their own "whats best", a bit like the oil Q. But I wouldn't be using expanding foam incase welding in the future is needed.

    Camping heater

    Another option is Deisel. I run an eber slung between the chassis rails and firing directly into the original front ducting. Works a treat :D

    Stuck speedo, can anyone help?

    Thanks for the reply, only just remembered to reply. I ended up having to drive it through the hub with a large hammer and long screwdriver. There was eons old crud that had almost solidified stopping it from just pulling through!

    Advice Needed

    Maybe it's worth getting a quote on how much to raise the garage door. I have an up n over door, it was also too low for my van to fit. It ended up costing me £84 to get the door raised. It can be done depending on where the top support plinth is
