My 90 van's kerb weight makes it a commercial vehicle, licenseable at HUGE
cost. So you have to specifically register it as Private adn Light goods if it
is private transport.

Subject: Land Rover as Art
Whilst channel surfing last evening, I caught a bit of one of those news
/entertainment/investigative shows. Some men's magazine had done a survey,
offering its readers a choice between Cindy Crawford and a new Land Rover.
(A picture of a new Discovery was flashed on the screen.) 13.4% chose
Cindy, while the Land Rover scored with 86.6%. The spokesperson,
commenting on the outcome, said "...that while Cindy in beautiful, the Land
Rover is a work of art."

Sounds like someone on the "team.net" list.

Subject: DoT 5 Brake Fluid
WRT the thread on silicone/DoT 5 brake fluid...it is the best stuff going.
It *does not* "rot" pipes or seals...there is no way chemically that it
can. What rots pipes and seals (other than the obvious direct chemical
attack by petroleum-based fluids on older, natural rubber seals) is water.
Castrol/LMA and all Dot 3 and 4 (glycol-based) fluids are
hygroscopic...they suck moisture out of the atmosphere...a particular
problem if your Rover spends a great deal of time mired in Ontario mud ;-)
or if it sits inactive for the winter. The moisture will cause the linings
of the master and wheel cylinders to corrode and this roughness tears up
the seals. No moisture = long seal life, and silicone simply is *not*
hygroscopic. The silicone will prevent any rust or corrosion anywhere in
the system.
Silicone has two drawbacks (offset by a bunch of advantages). It is
expensive, on the order of $7 a pint. Secondly, it is not recommended in
vehicles with ABS, as the rapid pulsing can create microscopic bubbles.
However, in older Land Rovers, it is THE way to go. As it is
"incompatible" with other fluids, I would suggest a complete rebuild of the
entire braking system, flushing the pipes in the process with 95%
isopropanol and then blowing them dry with compressed air. I did mine a
year ago and the Land Rover is most happy with the results. Total cost of
all parts (dual master and all wheel cylinders)- $21 :-) Fluid cost -
$28 :-(

Nice guy. about the dynomat, it is a .25" tar like paper with an adhevise (sp) on one side. It works fairly well as I have done the front doors, and the rear cargo area, and can now hear the radio at 70 MPH. I plan to do the hood and passenger compartments as soon as I can get more material. You can order it from crutchfields, and it is a little on the expensive side at $4.60 a square ft. I get it locally from a sound shop in town.

From: "Rostykus, John" <john@dspmail.Data-IO.COM> Subject: Koenig Winch info wanted... Date: Fri, 11 Nov 94 14:32:00 PST I acquired a 1963 109" pick-up recently (parts truck...) that includes a Koenig PTO winch. I am interested in learning more about it, and possibly installing it on my 1966 109" pick-up. Its a model L621 drum winch driven off the transmission PTO (sans overdrive). I'm looking for the following info OR ideas as to where I might find such: 1) Technical data - pull rating and any other useful info. 2) Mounting possibilities. I can't tell if the current mount is homemade or a production piece (it's fairly professional looking - except they cut a chunk out of the front cross-member in order for the driveline to clear.) If anyone has a winch like this one, I'd like to compare notes. 3) Maintenance tips for the winch. I'm fairly new to winches. I've got lots of info on 'how to winch', but little on taking care of a mechanical winch. I know very little of it's history, as the truck came out of British Columbia. Thanks!
