From: dwebb@waite.adelaide.edu.au (Daryl Webb) Subject: Tirfor handle length. Date: Sat, 6 May 1995 18:27:14 +0930 (CST) Ok Before the server Barfed someone asked about the handle length for a Tirfor hand-winch. I dont ahve the original message so the whole list gets bombed... The extended length for a T516 (the medium size one.. 1600/2500kg) is 1.15m or..about 45 inches -- Daryl Webb (dwebb@waite.adelaide.edu.au) ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950507 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I've been > known to achieve "passing speeds" of, say, 90mph in my 1974 ser III. OK... exactly how long *was* the chain attached to the 18 wheeler that was pulling you. 90 MPH?? Good drugs in California, eh? Are you sure you don't have a speedo marked in KPH? Given the known accuracy of British speedometers, especially old British speedometers, I think, and I'm sure lots of our brethren would aggree, that 90 MPH is a tad much. I've been in a mostly loaded 109 doing 70 (on the speedo). We *we're* passing people. It felt like 90 and sounded like the connecting rods were merely inches from the pavement. 90 MPH!! Kids these days....

I've crudely verified the accuracy of my speedometer at normal highway speeds (55-65) with a cohort in chase vehicle. 2. I actually have largish tires (32"?) which, (unless I am totally confused... never to be ruled out) should counter any standard British speedo tendencies. In terms of the *feel* of going really fast, I find that my rover is actually smoother at higher speeds... jory ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950507 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: 06 May 95 15:51:56 EDT From: "WILLIAM L. LEACOCK" <75473.3572@compuserve.com> Subject: Speedo and lights Charlie--- the speedo has a number at the end of the model number, 1400 on a 109 which means the number of revolutions per mile that the speedo cable rotates. If you change from a 4.7 diff ratio to 3.54 you need a number 1400 x 3.54/4.7 = 1054 From memory some of the old Morris Oxford type cars or the larger model had speedos in this range. I suggest you look round a breakers. The Triumph 2000 or the Dolomites had a 1000 rev/ mile speedo which would certainly be more accurate than the standard one J Dolan the Lucas parts list shows your flasher lamp to be a model 613, available with clear or amber lenses, your part number is a clear lense, the book does not list the vehicles which use it, other than looking through all the models listed to see if the 613 is listed under a particular model car. Looking at the picture of the unit I would think that it is a model specific unit. I have in the UK a 3 litre enamel badge for the radiator grille, it has not been on a car, I also have some P6 engine size badges, ie 2000, 2200TC and 3500 and some wheel trims, can 't call them new since they are 20 or 30 years old but the parts have not been fitted to a car, offers accepted. This week I have made an offer on a house which has a 30 ft x 40 ft garage, now all I need are a few LR's to fill it up.( not forgetting the money to buy them ) Regards Bill Leacock Limey in exile. ------------------------------[ <- Message 6 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950507 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Sat, 6 May 95 13:46 MST From: jhoward@argus.lowell.edu (James D. Howard II) Subject: USGS >> I have volunteered to compare the ground features with what is on my >> local USGS topo map. I spent most of the day after work yesterday [ truncated by lro-digester (was 7 lines)] >How do you volunteer for this? Can anyone/anywhere (in the US)? Info >please. The last time I ordered a bunch of topo maps, they sent a flyer: Volunteers wanted for the US Geological Survey Earth Science Corps Be responsible for providing map updates for your local area Help promote the National Mapping Program in your community Have a chance to become involved in various scientific studies Combine you recreational interests with volunteer service Work with USGS maps in the field etc. There are two programs. One is a public outreach program under which volunteers help enhance public awareness of the National Mapping Program and products. The other is a map annotation project where volunteers provide info about potential map updates in their assigned area by annotating USGS maps. I signed up because, in my hikes and mountain bike rides (and now Land Rover trips, too), I have found numerous differences between the topo map and what is on the ground, especially with regard to where forest roads go. I was already annotating my local maps when this came along, so now my annotations can potentially benefit others. To obtain application forms, or for more info, write to: Earth Science Corps MS 513 U.S. Geological Survey Reston, VA 22092 James ------------------------------[ <- Message 7 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950507 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Sat, 6 May 95 13:54 MST From: jhoward@argus.lowell.edu (James D. Howard II) Subject: insurance >Ooh! I hope they don't base your insurance on Range Rovers. That might >be like having your Ford pick up insurance based on Explorers. More >expensive vehicle = more expensive insurance. I'd check this, my >insurance (Allstate) had a separate catagory for Land Rovers. It took about 4 phone calls to get a quote. The first quote they gave me was $450 for six months. Since my MGB of the same vintage (1972) is only $220, I told them, and they agreed, that that was too high. I finally got one for $190. For that price they can call it a Range Rover if they want. Next time I call them I may change it. This is for liability, uninsured motorist, driven to work, 10,000 miles per year, with USAA. Boy, am I glad my Dad was in the Foreign Service.

From: jpappa01@InterServ.Com Date: Sat, 6 May 95 18:54:06 PDT Subject: Re: CB40 The newest AUTOWEEK just passed in front of me and a spy photo of the unibody Benz-fighter was in there - heavily disguised. Code name - CB40. The article says that it is due for a 1997 Europe launch. Probably means NA gets it spring of 98?? We'll see. Still rumors going around about a six-seater Defender 90 and/or keeping it alive w/air bags - but who really knows. There's just enough of a mix of reality and disinformation being injected into the scene to keep things interesting. Cheerz Jim - now completely mad... and loving it! ------------------------------[ <- Message 9 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950507 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
