simon king Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 As I jokingly anticipated, and to prove the rule, AK Interactive have just announced three Series IIA Land Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Five Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 In the parts catalogue there are listings for 86" and 107" as well as 88" and 109" chassis, wings road springs. This will explain how the extra two inches was built in to the chassis and body work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonb Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 You can spot an 88" Series One by looking at the front wings. On the lower edge just to the rear of the wheel arch is a bolt head. The gap between the bolt head and the edge of the wheel arch is 2" longer on the 88" than on the 86". Very obvious once spotted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal42 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Those pages will be very useful Oh Five, thank you. Are there any sections within that manual which describe the measurements of those body panels and road springs, or even diagrams? cheers, Mike Edited February 2, 2023 by Royal42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that piece of information. As I understand this, the distance from the body front to the back of the wheel arch is the same for both 86in and 88in. To make an 88in, I would need to insert a 2in slice behind the arch to make it an 88in. Wonderful stuff! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
