From: Easton Trevor <TEASTON@DQC2.DOFASCO.CA> Subject: Fuel Tanks and bottom plate Date: Tue, 26 Nov 96 07:58:00 EST What is involved in removing the bottom plate? Says David Cockey The plate is attached to the tank by several lumps of solder. Using a large industrial iron these can be melted and weakened to the point where the plate just serarates from the tank. You could even use a propane torch if you have previously cleaned and boiled out the tank and are absolutely certain that no residual inflammable fumes remain. One thing to do is ensure that you grind or wire brush away all the solder when doing your repair. I found the pinholes that caused my leak were right at the edges of the solder spots. After treating and repairing the tank use epoxy and glass fibre to bond the plate back onto the tank.

In LROI, Bat Fastard Land Rover Spares (at least that's what the logo says BLRS stands for) has what they call "true high-backed seats". They bolt on directly to the original mount, and are pretty comfortable. I got mine from BritPac. Don't fall for the BS in the BLRS ad that would lead you to believe they are the manufacturer--they're not. I think it says "Buy direct from the manufacturer--you know it makes sense". The problem is that BLRS don't manufacture this stuff. I guess the laws regarding truth in advertizing in the UK are subtly different from here.

Date: Tue, 26 Nov 96 14:19:00 PST A company in the UK (Comma I think) used to sell (maybe still do, I haven't been looking) a clear windscreen sealant which could be squirted under rubber seals to help stop leaks. I used this with mixed success on an old Vauxhall Chevette back in '89; I think the failure to seal perfectly was due more to the severe onset of iron worm :( If you can find this stuff or an equivalent it will probably do the job.

Before the thread speeds up again, this is not a question about the validity of the FWH concept, but a cry for help. I have just fitted a pair of Padddocks Selectro FWH to my 1977 109 SIII. They went on quite easily, the instructions were simple to follow and everthing that needed to came off without difficulty. There is only one slight problem. They don't work. Regardless of the position of the selector they remain firmly free-wheeling. I have managed to produce a 2x4 Land Rover, just in time for winter. The simple answer is to get another pair of gaskets and split pins and put it all back. But am I missing something? Has this happened to anyone before and was there a simple solution?

It is more important to hit the brakes than the throttle. It is not that hard as my brakes never actuate at the top anyway.

Hub nuts should not nip the bearings at all - fine for seating the races, but then the hub nut should be backed off to give an end float on the drum or disc of 2 to 4 thou.

Cut out six strips of steel (I cut up some 1/8in thick angle). Hold the two nub nuts in a vice or clamp to keep them in line with each other and weld the six strips together along the nuts (not to them) to form a box spanner. - Find a thick washer and weld that to the end, then weld an old socket to the washer.

Subject: Rallies, way off in the future Dear all, Even though it is just Thanksgiving, I have been getting quite a few calls about next year's Rally. Some from hotels who want you all to stay there when you come, and some from people wanting to know what weekend, and some from people wanting their video of 1996's Off Road Day *hope you all have them by now!* I have been told *not a fact, just what I have heard* that the DownEast Rally will be a weekend earlier, like June 29th. You can get info from the Owls Head Transportation Museum, they have a web page at www.ohtm.org The other thing before the rumor mills cranks up as to why or why not, is that ECR will not be holding its Off Road Day, on the Saturday before the DownEast. Complications and conflicts with the organizer, the fact that we just don't want to be involved or associated with Myles Murphy, the threat of corporate sponsors, and some money issues that ECR doesn't want to get involved in means that we are now participants *just like you* in whatever happens. Basically, we don't get along with the organizer, we don't want Land Rover money coming in * too many questions and different ideas, as to who gets what, and where it goes, and who gets whatever is left over * that we just don't want to get into. We had no problem dropping all the cash for the event, and doing the trails, getting Rovers North to help people through etc., but we were told in 1995 that we would not be allowed to do more than 2 years, as that would *get old*. We also would like to see the event expand into a trade show where ALL the Land Rover places, Off road companies, and clubs can come and show off their stuff. What does this mean to you... nothing really, just giving you all the truth from the source, before you get all set to head to Maine next summer. So, we'll see you there, and for information about the DownEast Rally watch your Rovers North Newsletter. We do hope to get another Off Road event going, our hard core event never got off the ground due the lack of time last fall, but we hope to scale that course back so more people can attend, and basically hold the same thing that we have for the past 2 years, but with some changes. Hope you will all attend as we re-group with a possible new event. Any questions or comments feel free to email your ideas and thoughts, we'll try to stuff them into whatever event we throw our efforts into in the future. Hope to see you at all the Rallies on the eastern side of the US in 1997.

Life Caulk is polysulfide rubber. It takes a while to set but is definately waterproof. Liquid Life Caulk is a pourable version typically used for deck seams. Life Caulk is also available in a caulking tube. I haven't used it on a LR, but have used it extensively on boats. It is paintable For a neat appearance when filling a seam use masking tape on either edge of the seam, gun the Life Caulk in, and then use a tongue depresser or similar to smooth it out.

Standard (open) differential: Equal torque (twisting force) to each wheel. Wheels can rotate at different speeds. Locked differential: Wheels locked together and rotate at same speed. Torque to each wheel can (will) be different. Transfer case in SI (except earliest)/II/III: In 2wd rear propshaft is connected, front is disconnected. In 4wd both front and rear propshafts turn at same speed. Power equals torque multiplied by speed. Torque is the twisting force which leads to a force between the tires and the ground. Trying to use it in understanding differentials complicates matters. With a standard differential in 2wd once one wheel spins (reached maximum torque possible) the other wheel will receive equal torque (no more is possible since the torque to each wheel is the same). In 4wd with a standard differential the combinations are more numerous, but once a wheel on each axle is spinning you have maximum torque to the ground. With a locking differential once one wheel reaches maximum torque (ready to spin) the torque on the other wheel will continue to increase until both can spin together since they have to turn at the same speed. This is why a locked differential increases the maximum total force possible between your tires and the ground. It is also why it increases the chance of axle breakage. Hope the above helps to clarify differentials. Regards, David Cockey ------------------------------[ <- Message 39 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 961127 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

One difficulty, the swivel pins are inclined 7 deg top in and 3 deg top back (castor). When you flip the axle they will be inclined top out. You really should keep the original geometry so a modified housing with the diff section swapped around would be the way to go. Otherwise not a bad idea. Another implementation would be to use a hydraulic cylinder for right/left acuation of the rear wheels controled by a valve in the cab, with pressure provided by a 12v pump. Much easier then cranking on a lever. In colder climates a snow plow dealer could set you up. In any case a really solid center position lockout is mandatory.

What is the number on the regulator, it is probably an RB 340 or 310 which is the regulator for the original dynamo that was fitted. If it is a TR2 then it is the rgulator for an unregulated type alternator type 15 or 16 AC ( not ACR which is the regulated type ) Fitting an alternator makes the RB reg redundant, but it can be a convenient point to link the wires for the change.

I know dynamos were fitted to '67 vehicles but don't know how long after they changed over. The relay you describe however does not sound like a regulator box. My old '67 had a big black box with a spring retained cover. Opening this cover reveals two relays (One to regulate current, the other to regulate voltage I think) along with some other componants mounted to a circuit board. The relays have adjustable contacts (you are supposed to use a special tool to change these along with some other test gear).

Bill Leackock was right about it having to be taxed and insured, that stands for any vehicle on the road, whether its moving or not, even parked cars, if they are on the road and not private property are subject to these regulations. There are dispensations under certain circumstances, eg if a vehicle has been off the road and MOT (Ministry of Transport vehicle test certificate) and tax has run out for restoration etc. you are allowed to drive the vehicle to a testing centre if the test has been pre-booked, and as an extra precaution you should inform your local Police, but the vehicle MUST be insured and then driven straight home afterwards until you have obtained a Tax disc. Also there are new regulations coming in to force regarding towing in UK, the Ministry of Transport wanted everyone who towed trailers, horse boxes etc to take a further test and have this detailed on their driving licenses. They then wussed out slightly when they realised that this would be an enourmous task, re-testing every driver that may tow something, no matter how seldom would take months if not years. So now only new drivers will be subject to these laws!?! - Good British Civil Service Logic at its best. ------------------------------[ <- Message 75 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 961127 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
