I’ve got a small drawer full of alignment studs of all sizes.
I used to work on commercial and industrial air compressors. Those studs were priceless!

The way you analyzed this issue was spectacular. The explanation was spot on and easy to understand. Made perfect sense. Your fix to the problem was equally spot on. Your skill on that trimming was amazing, not marring the mounting surface was key. Making the alignment stud was a stroke of genius. Just goes to show, if you stop and think, assess the difficulties, and think them through, you can get it done more efficiently. Its not about wasting time, you actually save time and effort. As my father and grandfather always said...
"Work smarter, not harder". Words to live by. Well done my friend. Well done. I'm rootin fer ya!

Thanks for the nice words. I was sure happy to finally find the source!

Good one Erik, as they say "necessity is the mother of invention" . Ive struggled with Land Rover/Range Rover transfer boxes many times, awkward, heavy things. I think the last guy was lucky to getaway with it as it was.......

First class mechanical detective work, many of us would have missed the oversized metal plate and assumed that it was an original part and therefore correct. Looking forward to the transfer case being refitted but I would suggest cleaning everything under the car in that area prior to doing so, this will also enable you to check the bushes for splits etc. great video.

Thanks for the support as always!

You'd still want to use thread sealer on the threads of that bottom bolt.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Yes sir. Thanks.

Great videos!

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks!

[@bobbaird4722]

great bit of detective work.i saw on the trans output mounting surface ,the raised round surface,just beside the metal plate you had to modify .this looks like an alinement register,if so that same little plate would need modified [trimed] on the area next to the register. i hope i am not being pain in the ass.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

I will investigate that. Thanks.

[@glenmiller-re5ff]

Thats the way I would have done it Macgyver it without a lift or trans jack

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Yes!

That locking plate is homemade, and too large. The original locking plates are much more rectangular and will easily fit within the gasket. You can still source them from any Jeep parts vendor.

And I guess I should've viewed the entire video before commenting! Anyway, nice job trimming the locking plate. I enjoy your videos.

Ha ha. Thanks!
