Any comments on the real benefits of a 6 over a 4 ply? Yesterday, I saw at a tire shop that listed the load rating of a "6 ply" as less than that of a "4 ply". Was I misled? Name a good all season, decent offroad trail handler, quiet tire? Brand name not important.

Date: Sat, 1 Feb 1997 16:12:40 -0700 (MST) From: Dirk Tischer <dtischer@U.Arizona.EDU> Subject: Re: Oil Preasure gauge/ other gauges Thanks so much for the help everybody. The suggestion about the two inch holes behind the clock housing really helped. looks very professional - I returned my mini gauge and got a two inch round/ three gauge kit. Don't know if I need another temp gauge but the ammeter will be nice to have. Especially if I ever get around to mounting a winch. I ended up using the 1/2 inch pipe thread adapter that came with the kit. I ran it through a 1/2 in. 20 die and it shaved right down to fit. The pipe thread gets much larger then 1/2 in 20 so the seal is good. Very easy to do. I threaded the line through some fuel line I had and taped it to the wiring harness. I used the hole in the firewall for the heater controls for the oil line and I ran the temp gauge line through the speedometer cable hole. Anyone ever mount an ammeter? The main power line runs strait to the starter then up to the accessories and alternator. I've got some long heavy gauge wire that came with my ARB bumper so I'll run that up to gauge and back after the starter. Any suggestions? The extra temp gauge.. well it was pretty much free (three for the price of two) Does anyone have a good idea of a mounting location for the sensor? The wiring diagram lists a oil temp gauge on the 110. I may just try that but would like to be sure of the location. Those temp gauges have to be in the flow. I don't think those extra bolt holes in the oil pump would qualify but they might. They seem to have there own short channel and may therefore not get much circulation. For that matter what are the temp ranges for oil/ water? Anyway, is there any good reason to mount an extra water temp gauge? or an oil temp gauge for that matter. Again thanks for all the help.

Subject: Paint Stripping Galvanized Surfaces Date: Sat, 1 Feb 97 23:00:46 -0600 From: "Keith W. Cooper" <kwcooper@aristotle.net> I am the third and most recent owner of a 1965 SIIA 88". It was totally repainted about 8-10 years ago by the first owner (a farmer in Texas). The color is a dark grey metallic color, its not too bad, but its not even close to any of the original colors offered in '65. I plan on using this Land Rover for real off-roading and general driving, but I also want to slowly restore it to as close to original specs. as possible. I plan to eventually (maybe in a year or two) re-paint the rover with one of the original colors, but in the meantime I want to remove the paint off of the galvanized pieces that were painted over. I like the look of the original galvanized metal trim pieces. How would I go about stripping the paint from these? Would I need to disconnect the pieces from the body and then re-attach when stripped? If so, How in the world would you find those round-headed rivets? Maybe I could just use the trusty old 4 1/2" hand-grinder with a wire attachment or abrasive attachment and work with the pieces right on the vehicle. Any ideas or has anyone has the misfortune of having to uncover their galvanized surfaces too?

From: Solihull@aol.com Date: Sun, 2 Feb 1997 06:08:12 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: Jackall or HiLift? Jackall are in Canada. Highlifts are made by Bloomfield manufacturing in Indiana, who also make a version with some stamped parts, like the foot, the 'pointy thing on top' and one of the mechanism pieces, the latch, I think. The jack with the stamped parts is cheaper, but rated at the same strength. It just costs less to manufacture. Mine is a Highlift, but only because that's what's available locally. One is as good as the other, IMHO, and all parts, including the rebuild kits, interchange. I'd stay clear of the third world imitations that places like Harbor Freight carry, though. I just don't trust the metallurgy. I replaced the stamped top clamp on mine with the cast piece, ordered separately from Bloomfield, when I ordered the bracket. Now I want to order and keep handy the five foot rail part, just in case. Cheers!!
