Later units had 2 remote servo units installed, so you could really create a "plumber's nightmare". (How about fitting two of those to a 109 and then experiencing bleeding problems? I think the correct procedure for bleeding that modification might be: 1) loosen all bleed screws. 2) Submerge entire vehicle in large container of brake fluid. 3) When bubbles stop, you're done!). Very unfortunately, the P6 model seems to be undergoing somewhat of a demise, with some small areas of enthusiasm, at least here in the US. (coincidentally just a few short years prior to Rover's threatened re-entering of the US 'auto' market!). On the "Rovernet", there are regularly reported (and poorly received) 'crushings' of multiple vehicles. This could mean that a servo from one of these could be of little expense. If there's an interest, I'd suggest asking someone who has such a vehicle (I no longer do, well, let's just say I don't...), or the "Rovernet" itself. There is to be a 'rescue' of one such P6 vechicle/parts cache this spring (in NY state), so some may come up as available from that source. If so, they could probably be brought to Owl's Head... see 'ya on the old road... jim '61 88" w/OD, 1 Bbl Weber, 16's, hubs (econobox?)

The Rochester performed very well, and actually gave marginally better performance than the Zenith. I did not change the air cleaner; the Rochester was connected to the stock oil-bath filter using the same ribbed hose and elbow that had fed the Zenith. The only modification I had to make was to remove an inch or so from the bottom of the elbow to keep it from contacting the underside of the hood. I think the one you've used is a different one than this - must have been the 50s Chevrolet one. This carb was off a mid-70s Chevrolet Vega, and as such was designed at the top for a paper-element air cleaner rather than the oil-bath of the 50s Rochester. The Rochester with the tub-shaped body is the one for oil-bath air cleaners, and is also the one that needs to be re-jetted. The beauty of the Vega carb is that it doesn't need to be re-jetted - it bolts on and runs fine. _________________________ ajr ------------------------------[ <- Message 8 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970316 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Yours, JWROVER@MSN.com Solihull SOciety Event Coordinator ---------- From: Nick Fankhauser Sent: Friday, March 14, 1997 8:02 PM Subject: four questions for the gurus Hi folks- The IIa (no friendly name yet) is coming along. I just lowered a shiny clean engine and tranny onto the frame, and I'm beginning to believe it will all work... so I'm thinking about the extra things I'd like to do before I start on the body panels. - Switching to negative ground- I have an early IIa with positive ground. I want to switch to negative ground & put in a high amp alternator. A quick inspection of the schematics in the LR manual and the instruments leads me to believe that all I have to do is flip the battery around and swap the leads on the ammeter. I have an oil and temp guage, which seem to be original (although I've never seen them on other rovers). The question- am I missing something here? Are there any hidden Gotchas? - A "roll cage"-. I'm not planning on driving like a maniac, but I would like to be able to run without the top in the summer, and feel that some sort of roll cage might be prudent. I would like to purchase or make something that would fit inside the body so that it could also serve as a mounting point for shoulder straps. (It came with only lap belts, and I don't see any good mounting points to add shoulder belts.) If the cage also served as a frame for a soft top, I'd be one happy camper. Has anyone done this, or know someone who has? Any thoughts? - A capstan winch- A friend of mine has offered me a nice capstan winch which he claims came out of a box marked "land rover" when he first acquired it. It matches some pictures that I've seen of old rovers, so he's probably correct. The problem is that I have no info on how to mount it, and I'm not sure if all of the pieces are there. I'm looking for an old manual, or a person who has one on their rover. It appears to be set up to attach to the crank pulley. The winch is on a land cruiser right now, so I really need a complete description of how it is supposed to fit, as I'm sure some pretty serious modifications have been made. - Running on LP gas- I noticed that someone mentioned a lightweight set up for dual fuel a few days back. I've been wanting to convert a vehicle to LP gas for some time, and acquired an old set of regulators & carb off of a forklift which happens to have roughly 2.3 litre displacement. I had intended to try these on the rover, but would much prefer to find a carb intended for a rover if one is available. Dual fuel would be even better, since I could switch back to petrol when power is needed. Does anyone know more about this? Any spare parts for sale?

Seen to many of them die when they were needed. Brushes go, wires start to burn, can't find the control leads and use a knife to short the contacts <name withheld, he's on the list...> Mechanical, hydraulic are serious winches. Electric just over loads the electrical system, makes people change from (barely) adequate positive ground systems to negative ground systems with large alternators, heavy duty batteries. Add in the cost of the new negative ground harness suggested, the large alternator, to the cost of the winch then compare to a mechanical, hydraulic winch. If someone is offering a capstan, probably at a lot less $$$ than an electric, they do just fine in the bush.

From: "Alan Logue" <logue@a011.aone.net.au> Subject: Re: four questions for the gurus Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 22:11:20 +0930 Dixon I sort of agree with your comments, but the problem is that it is now so hard to get a PTO unit to suit any of the new Land Rover gearboxes. Yes, the Defender can take a PTO but how many companies make them? I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I know of only one in Australia that makes a PTO. The problem is then compounded by the fact that no one makes the PTO winches because no one makes the PTO's! I have a Series III with a 12000lb PTO and I have winched for hours without any hassles - I could not have done it with an electric. But if I buy a Defender, my PTO choices are so extremely limited. I think the Discovery can take the same PTO as the Defender, but to the best of my knowledge, no one anywhere makes a PTO winch to fit it. On the brighter side, I guess we should all be thankful that LUCAS do not make electric winches.
