I should share the source if anyone is interested.

shims
 

Is this how you adapt the hub to the disc with the use of shims?

There are multiple ways to do. Some people just machine the outer part of hub so that brake disk sits on it. This is not optimal but I haven't heard about broken bolts anyway. This additional plate you already linked looks like best option. Edit: Some kind of shims inside sounds like good compromise to me.

great pictures!! thanks for the images and great option. after that machine work, how thick was the metal where the wheel stud sits?

Cant remember for sure, but i think around 8-10mm.

smell of burning flesh
 

Started making stuff. Made the lower control arms and started burning in the mounts on the axle.

parts
 

I am getting very excited about getting parts from Timo Lipponen <timo@offroadtarvike.fi>

Hopefully, I can get the order done quickly, so they are on the way.

rear axle in
 

Took longer than I wanted, but got the rear axle in.

Nice.

What bolt pattern for wheels you are planning, 6 x 139.7 ?

wheels
 

yes, planning on 6 lug toyota/chevy wheel bolt pattern.

I am getting ready to pull apart the portal to go through it. Is there a good thread or instructions on how to take apart and put back together?

Here are pics of the front axle starting to go in. Making brackets now for the new arms.

Another question, do you use adapters for the driveshafts? The pattern seems to be similar to a Suzuki; but different inner hub.

Thanks.

Help
 

What do you do for converting from Toyota transfer case to the volvo diff input?

Easiest way is make adapters between cardans and transfer case or diff input, with ”lathe” (odd word, i am not sure if it is right)

Like there: 4 th and 5 th picture:

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks.

Help
 

I keep asking for help.

I am trying to get this project done so my daughter and I can have a weekend camping and hitting trails on the 20th of this month.

I NEED PARTS!!

I had been talking with timo@offroadtarvike.fi and they were very helpful; however, I have not heard from them in almost a week and I need to get the parts shipping to the states.

Anyone know of another source?

I need the large seal and adapter

new boots

disc brake adapter for front. (I am going to make 2 caliper bracket for rear to do ebrake there also.)

I try wake Timo ...

servise manuals
 

Here you can find manuals for volvo c303.

thank you thank you
 

Many thanks for help.

And some spare parts from https://www.tatanka.nu/ if needed.

work
 

Work has been very busy, so only finding a few hours to work on the project; however, it is progressing.

working on welding in the brackets and the armor.

shock spring mount
 

The stock mounts needed to be about 1/2 from the inside flange, so no way to get the bolts out to pull the portal apart, so moved them about 1" away and mounted them there. Then I cut off the spring perch and raised it 3/8 inch and will weld it back in the correct spot. This should give enough area to unbolt; however, these bolts don't have enough room to come out.... CLOSE.

Can stud bold be used?

Very good point. Yes, that is the option if they ever get messed up.

On a side note, I am amazed that the bolts on this axle are not metric bolts. All standard thread bolts/nuts.

AFAIK, the axles are made by Salisbury/Dana, so that's why it has imperial bolts and nuts.
