But I also see a pack showing 1510 LR

Hence the Confusion. Are you using both by the way.

The 1510 was mine and had taken it there during the install to show differences between 1530/1510.

Have put in 1530 in the rear.

How did you test the articulation ? Plans for any fixture ?

livyodream · 19th April 2010, 06:39

Jaggu · 19th April 2010, 12:40

Sir's i really dont understand why you need rock sliders on towering twins!

Viji i was stuck at the garage and couldnt make it on Saturday, though this saturday seems to be a possibility. Ill try to work it out with Mr Khan_S

I saw the gypsy on Friday along with MP Sreenivasan. It is coming out nice. SPOA job looks great.

Whats the difference between 1510 and 1530 KS?

khan_sultan · 19th April 2010, 16:58

1510 is without the coupler and uses stock side gears. 1530 is with coupler and stock side gears are not used. Also the shape of the 2 are different, with the locker tooth in 1510 being slanted/angular & in 1530 being 100% flat

I had procured 1510 to put it in the front axle also and had taken it along.

optimist · 19th April 2010, 18:12

hi,
i'm traveling that side tomorrow. Does the garage allow anyone to have a look at the gypsy work in progress? maybe around 5pm-6pm.?
thanks

swastikviji · 21st April 2010, 22:34

Rear up front (RUF) work completed today, i am uploading few pictures of WIP.

krishnathanthri · 21st April 2010, 22:42

Good going Viji.

The Front and rear driveshaft extensions were made in Lathe or procured from outside?

Wraparound spring pads custom made or procured?

What about brake line extension?
