 Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 New Seats. Purchased some GRPs seats. Did a trial fit, will give just enough room for the seat belt stalk Need to fabricate a new frame,still using the 2CV runners. As they are Bum shaped, there will be a bit more comfort. Shiny New Seat Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Start with - Love your work. Can I ask if you have diff locks or means to lock one wheel at a time or 2 etc to get power to go to the wheel where there is grip?

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 @ChrisW Thanks for the feedback. I’m using Citroen GS boxes, front and rear, no diff-locks. Have got line-locks on each wheel, which works on the drive way…. GS ABS blocks with direction reversed. Attachment:

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ZdC7-HbCsThe future? As the GS diff is a bit bigger, than the 2CV, it may be possible, to do a “plated” differential (Not ATB). See http://www.davemacprops.co.uk/gripper.html. Plan a visit with a diff and see if it can be done??? £££

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 @Geo, Its just manual. Push the brake pedal. Switch the power to the appropriate valve/solenoid. (That locks the wheel.) Release the brake pedal. Then drive away... And switch the power off. Ps The new LR/RR Evoque have very clever system doing this in auto mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoLrKAS5fB4

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 I mean those automatic grip lockers. A friend of mine had them in his 4x4 trophy racecar... They come in unexpected on road use. But in the terrain they are awesome.

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Thanks for taking time for reply - Having that set up is great.
Been looking at Panda 4x4 and they have the ABS to lock the wheels that are spinning and helps a simple little car get places it shouldn't.

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 As the sun was out it was warm enough to make a bit of progress on the new seat mount. 3mm Aluminium bent up with a hole for the bottom of the GRP seat. Attachment:
