------ NEW PICTURES ADDED 21st of June GO CHECK THEM AT END OF THREAD ;) -------

Hi there,

Here's few pics of our new project. It's not looking much yeat, but we have to start from somewheere...right:p

We had Volvo C-303 portals, toyota t-case and some chevy small block and th350 parts and ofcourse some new ideas :D :D :D
We've been thinking to use it a bit on Formula Off Road and at "not so rocky" trial competitions... but time will tell what it's really for.

And the birfield. It's same size as in range rover or Land Rover 90 series and the splines should be the same inside the birf.

so is the volvo birf the EXACT same birf as whats used in rovers? or just the same size? the bell looks a little beefier on the volvo one but its hard to tell.

what is the size/spline count of the axleshafts?
Here it is from the front and happy owner (me) standing right beside:D :D :D

....but something is wrong. It looks a bit too tall now when it is suppose to be at the lowest position....

Did you get the axels from fjärrås bildemontering?
Did you have to change the CV boots or any seals?
So lets see how it would look a bit lower.

Here we go and now it looks more like it:D ;) :D

Well one friend of mine says that the land rover birfs could be modified to Volvo. He is working on them right now. He used to drive with Land Rover axles but has now built new car with Volvo axles (see the pic). He uses his car in Estland(?) for GPS competitions.

The thing is that D-90 has longer axle at the side of hub and as you can see Volvo has very short one. So now they have test going on that can they shorten the D-90 shaft and re-spline it. If that works then it's time for test drive to see if they can hold up.

Yep, that's the place. Henke and Magnus were there and so far we haven't found any broken parts.

I don't know much about these overseas axles but I thought I heard that the Defender 90 birfields are weak?




:confused:
Man don't they have tubing in finland that welded together Rec. tubing may not be very strong to save your head. if you can only get that stuff .You may want to re-inforce the joints with some flat strap . Just an IDEA for your safety......

Hey fellow,

is this pic enough to show what we can do of tube? This is our previous car Alfaster built at exact same place:flipoff2:

And here the Alfaster is ready. Does it look enough safe for you?
The rec. tube is not even tube it's just like U shaped metal and it just gives us plenty of choises to design the actual cage without spending any extra money for the round steel tube. And it's also hell a lot faster to do modifications to the frame or cage design this way. We do design and built these cars ourselves without any computers:p :p

they are. but there are aftermarket birfs available and when you take into account the portal reduction they really become quite strong.
