Subject: Brake lines v. rodents
Bert Palte writes about rodents (specifically, armadillos) eating brake
lines. This is *no joke*...though the animal may be wrong. Porcupines
awaken from hibernation with a powerful hunger, and one that includes salt.
In northern tier states, (and Canada as well, I assume) this includes winter
salt-encrusted brake flex lines, radiator hoses, belts, even *tires* on
occasion. Try explaining *that* to the insurance agent....

Subject: Steering Relays
Been away for a few days (the fishing was lousy, the tent leaked like a
sieve, but ridin' the beach in the Rover was great), so pardon me if this is
old stuff...
Marcus writes about difficulties getting the old relay unit out - it can be
a bear. Diesel Bob was having similar difficulties prior to taking his
frame up to be hot-dipped. He eventually took it to a friend at a ship yard
and used a jillion-ton press to get the damned thing out. Previously,
jacking, using the high lift, Penetrol and heating the unit had no effect.
If all your efforts have been for naught, you'll probably need at least a 20
ton press. *GOOD LUCK*

I'd like to help - but can't. Perhaps subscribers further away could. 1. Mark, in Iowa, U.S.A. is looking for a British edition LR 110. Is there one available to buy (in North America? mid-USA?)? Does anyone have any scraps of info on him bringing one in from the U.K.? or Australia? Mark was thinking that he could get one about 1990 vintage for about $15,000 U.S. I'LL RETURN HIS CALL IF I CAN GIVE HIM SOMETHING MORE THAN I KNOW, WHICH IS NOTHING. 2. Jamie, in Delta, British Columbia, Canada (West Coast) is looking for a Land Rover "Safari" of any year. I'LL ALSO RETURN HIS CALL, ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE HAS A LR TO SELL HIM.

Ascutney, VT - it was outstanding with 85 teams present for the combined Road Rally, Mountain Climb, and Car Show. The lone team from BSROA aquitted itself well with a 5th place in the overall triathlon. I was disappointed that no one else signed up but we'll shoot for a better turnout next year. It really was good fun and the weather superb! There were very good turnouts from Jag, MG, Triumph and Morgan clubs - but only a lone Land Rover! Lets get with it. Faith, Bruce, Don and Nancy of the British Marque staff are to be commended for the hard work they did to launch this event! Everything was included - lodging, food, paraphenalia - including event sweatshirt. * The TOY store. Acting on a rumor that Matchbox has released some repros of early models - including a Land Rover - I dashed down to *Toys R Us.* There it was... *authentic recreation* #12 - a series one open top with original dark green paint, silver wheels, and tan driver behind the RHD wheel! Packaged in a blister pack - the vehicle sits atop an authentic Matchbox collector box. Really neat! About $2.50/copy. They had eleven of them in stock.

Subject: Land Rover Toy News From: rc@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca (Robin Craig) Date: Sun, 13 Aug 95 17:05:57 -0500 Well, another red letter day on the toy front. I was crusin the local Toys R Us store with the kiddies and picked up another newbie for the collection. >From Leggo comes their number 1702 which is a kind of 90, atye least close enough for me! It comes right now in a double set with some space vehcile. So the kids get the space dohickie and i get the Land Rover. This builds up into an open vehciule with a fire chief chappie and a walkietalkie and fire extinguisher and lights etc. Aprox 3 1/2 inches long. This one has been doen before as a hard top rescue truck and a boat trailer and boat set. It has covered wheels and a slatted grill which is close enough for me!. got to go, TTFN Robin -- Robin Craig, rc@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca FourFold Symmetry, Ottawa, Ont. | Ottawa Valley Land Rovers ------------------------------[ <- Message 10 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950814 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

If they could be brought into the US there would be lots of them. The List is awash with discussions laced with a heavy dose of wishful thinking. The bottom line is that the rules have to be bent to the breaking point to get one into the country. The gray market loophole has long been closed. > 2. Jamie, in Delta, British Columbia, Canada (West Coast) is > looking for a Land Rover "Safari" of any year. Jamie of Delta just needs to keep his eyes and ears open. If he can get online he'd learn a lot on this List. Tell him to join the club so he will get to know Land Rover owners and others who would like to be, and in the process learn about the availability of more vehicles than he can possible acquire. Or he can go to England and spend his holiday searching for just the right one.

Date: Sun, 13 Aug 1995 22:46:21 -0500 (CDT) From: David John Place <umplace@cc.UManitoba.CA> Subject: Re: Roof Rack I built a roof rack for my 88. It is made of 1" square tube and I chose this material because there are commercial plastic plugs made for it that really give it a finished look. I bought my tube locally and the plugs from a hardware store. Companies that manufacture chair and table legs use these plugs if you can't find any. I used 2" "u" channel for the supports along the side of the rack because they are just the right thickness to sit in the rain gutter. There are 5 verticle supports per side and the top platform has a second rail about 8" above the floor level. It is a direct copy of the ones in most safari pictures. Total cost about $100.00 in materials and about a day to make. It is made so the floor rests on the square support ribs of the roof.

When I was in Finland last year, I saw a display in a number of shops of the stickers and other Camel Trophy stuff. I went in and explained that I wanted to buy some and lo and behold, they gave me my pick. I now sport a beautiful Finland Camel Trophy sticker on ther rear door of my 88. The Fins are very proud of their national team and were more than happy to give me a free sticker to advertise thier participation. By the way, if we have any Finish friends on the net, the shop was in Turku just north of the town market square.
