Subject: Re: Hole Spe(cifi)cs for Alpine Windows?

I have a pair of alpine windows I am going to install in my 88" hardtop.
Does anyone have a template for the holes to be cut for the windows?
Lacking this, what is the gap between the windows and the metal necessary
to accomodate the rubber (ie how much bigger should the cutouts be than the
windows themselves).

I think they did this in the Lindsay Porter book, Haynes
          guide to DYI restoration, (or something), and they
          traced the glass and then drew another line about
          a half-inch outside of that. Then take a small
          hatchet, and...don't worry, there lots of plain
          hardtops around if you mess up... Thought about
          doing this too. What are you going to do about the
          headliner, besides take it out. Or should I say,
          do you have a headliner?

Subject: Window Rubber

Dear all,
        Answer to a recent posting. When we install windows in things like
3 door 109's, that the people want windows in... We leave a 5/16 inch gap
between the edge of the glass and the edge of the sheet metal. This will
accomodate the LR two piece type rubber window seal. Fitting the windows is
not always an easy task, but it looks good when you're done.
        See ya!

Jory I could have sworn I walked by your 88 yesterday in the Mariani 1
parking lot.

If you want to replace the rubber seal on my oval window.  You are welcome to
remove one of my windows, take your measurements, make a pattern then replace
the window with a new seal (break the glass & I get a new one of those too).

While I was walking past your rig and admiring its condition I was thinking
it needed an 88 stationwagon top.  Wouldn't it be easier to find a top with
oval windows, roof vents and second skin?

Tom,

we need to be extreamly careful here as you are suggesting fooling around
with the space time continuim.  Coiling up a 109 into a small loop then
placing it into the ARB locker sitting inside the 109 could very easily make
a tare in reality that could collapse the space time continuim and make the
big bang look like a small firecracker in compairison.

I'm looking for a space to rent outside the space time continum that I can
move to to avoid the time that  the continuim collapses.

Clinton, I thought I would resend this to the list as there may be
a few who are interested.
  
You have to fit a new piece of glass, which is laminated with the
heating element between the panes.  The element is similar to a
heated rear window, but the wires are much finer and hard to see
when you look at the glass - just as well really.
  
There is slight flaring of oncomming headlamps at night but you soon
get used to it.  The benefits are amazing though, you can drive in
the rain without a squeegie in your left hand and freezing fog
is no longer a total nightmare.
  
I can't remeber the cost now, but I thought it was reasonable, but
not cheap.  Well worth it though.
  
I got mine from Craddocks, but it was made by tripplex (SP?)so your
local tripplex agent should be able to get one.
  
There are just 2 wires to connect (live and earth funnily enough) and
it is no more complicated to fit than a normal screen.
  
NOTE: I occasionally get notes sent to my old address at vnet.ibm.com.
This address is not really valid anymore and I am surprised the mail

Tom answers...
Would it maybe then fit in the ARB locker?

Stupendous. I belive the best way to coil a 109 is to attach the cable from the 
front mounted winch to the rear tow hitch. Let 'er rip... Or perhaps we can get 
some advice from the fellow who uses a rope coiled around the propshaft as a 
winch... All those gasses in the ARB locker are likely to get volatile when 
they're compressed by the space time- warp effect of putting a coiled LR into 
itself, so make sure that FRT valve is wide open...

See? There's so much fun involved in being a North American LR freak. If 110's 
were abundant here, this enlightening exchange would never have taken place...

BTW, in an unrelated event I used my High-Lift jack to crack the Kryptonite-Lock
off of my friend's bike... he lost the key. It was fun. Didn't take more than 30
seconds once it was set up. Probably a little bulky for your average bike theif 
tho'...

Re: STC collapse:

Yes, but isn't there a Hi-lift jack modification for that event? I've got a 
catalogue number for it here somewhere.....

" HL666 - Space-Time Contimuum Jack Pedestal mount:

This converts your Hi-lift jack or similar device into a powerful tool for the 
prevention of local entropy collapse. Using a small quantity of antimatter as a 
power source for a modified Timex-Sinclair computer, this generates a strong 
local entropy field, basically giving your jack a pedestal to stand on for 
those times when time is hard to handle."

Rovers North carries these - but they're never on special, mostly because of 
the Bedford 4x4 chassis the damn thing has to be mounted on because of the 
4-ton lead shield. I also believe you have to file an EPA Environmental impact 
Statement when you use it. Check with Lanny on this one, if you order it.

Subject: Replacement halogen headlamps

I would not be without my halogens. Admittedly I have a faster LR than
most, and I probably drive faster than most, but you can never see too
far.
  
I can't remember the power of sealed beams, but I thought it was
comparable to halogens. The greater light being due to halogen bulbs.
  
The main problem with halogens is that they fill up with mud when you go
through deep goo. I have never lost a bulb through this, but the
reflectors were not designed to be cleaned (front silvered glass I
believe) and are wearing away. It is also a severe pain in the ass to
clean them. I swap for sealed beams if I am likely to go in deep goo, it
takes less time than cleaning halogens.
  
Also if your wiring is a bit dodgy and you do not get 12V at the
headlamps do not expect the halogens to last too long as they need
12V for the correct chemical reactions to occur.
  
As far as auxillary lights go I use Cibes. I have no experience with
Hellas. I use Oscars on the LR (6" dia) and super oscars on the rally
car (8" I think). They provide enough light for birds to wake up and
start the dawn chorus :-)
  
I prefer driving lights to fog or spot lamps for most use. Fog lamps
aren't much use except in fog or very slow driving (nocturnal off
roading) as the light beam is too shallow to be much use. Spot lamps
give a very concentrated beam, which doesn't light up the verges or
corners as much as I would like. I currently have oscar spots on the LR
wings (not that the wings are on anything else at the moment!). I will
swap these for the driving lamps I have at my parents house next time I
get a chance.
  
I hate having most of my stuff 150 miles away at my parents house. They
only deliver useless stuff like lightweight hard tops and can't find
what I really need.
  
Have a nice weekend, Steve

quite carefully with a dremel tool. This takes longer than a nibbler, but
from experience I know I can get a very accurate cut. After cutting the
hole, I thought I'd fit the headliner under the rubber seael of the
windows... using adhesive if necessary. Does this sound plausible to
anyone? I am not enamored of the typical headlinerless alpine installation,
mostly in terms of acoustic  damping... though in this case, it seemed hard
to get the typical alpine headliner without a total headliner replacement.

Hell, instead of spending time and money on repairing our vehicles, we could go

Yea,
Combining lucas electronics and a 109 into a torrid coil could
do more than disrupt the Space time continuum... 
A torrid coil with no losses would generate current forever.
As we all know Lucas electronics disobey all the laws of Physics...
There for we could get a perpetual current machine, and reverse the

No problem. Just postpone the wedding for a week or so. Or even 
better: call it off. Since you are a lr-owner, the mrs will divorce 
you anyway in a short time. The bonus: when a woman leaves a 
roverhead, she usually don't take the beast with her to "mother". Not 
if it's a scratched/dirty/smelly series anyway.

The law of supply and deamnd, pal.  I know of five of these that have sold.  
With the exception of one at $34,000, the others were between $40,000 and 
$46,000.  This is for stock vehicles, not ones spiffed up with new paint, 
megawatt stereos, etc.  If you'll check the prices in the RN and ABP

has a factory-fitted winch and only 18,000 miles since '93.  Fair price, I'd 
say.

would not be a good idea anyway. My problem has been lack of any
sensible low speed capability on LPG - I need to read the road ahead to
allow time to switch back to petrol (it takes time for the carb to sort
itself out). Unexpected stops can therefore be a pain. The system is
fitted with an idle increasing solenoid, but to keep the engine running
on LPG the revs are embarassingly high if you have it set properly, plus
engine braking goes out the window..... I think all this is due to my
lack of compression on 2 cylinders, below average on 2 more, & average
on the remaining 2. Anyone got any ideas? - I'm doing a head rebuild
already.

One other question; Should LPG go in before or after the carb? I was
told that my low speed running would be enhanced if the LPG went in
after the carb, but on examining the system the special LPG inlet
addition can only go pre-carb, & was obviously designed as such. I know
people who claim to have seen systems where the LPG goes direct to a
special inlet on the manifold, but this would surely need a separate
injection system?

Many thanks for any answers, Jonathan.

Hi everyone - I'm visiting St. Lucia and have just been converted to LRdom after 
an outing in a D90. *Need one*. However, I am from the US (Detroit 
unfortunately) and understand that the Defender is not readily available, to put 
it mildly. Can anyone tell me if they are going to be imported again in the near 
future? 
Any info would be welcome.

Scotty's shop phone number is 510-686-2255

Chances are you will get a phone answering machine.

He's also figured out how to rebuild series II transmissions into full syncro
boxes.

Nope. But there are some used Defenders about; I saw a 1994 softtop and 
1995 SW at Land Rover Scottsdale this past week. The used 1995 was 
selling for MSRP for a new D90SW.

Subject: Re: zenith vs. rochester

The Zenith carb is the best carb for the 4-cyl series motor. It is reliable, 
gives decent performance as long as the rest of the motor is up to snuff, and 
gives the best economy - also runs the smoothest. No contest between 
Rochester. Rochester notorious for washing down cylinder walls w/excess gas - 
among other evils...
