Yours mark Dutch lightweight SIIA pink panther ---------- From: QROVER80@aol.com Subject: Lightweight Paint color Question Date: 13 May 1997 8:29 New ! Improved ! http://www.Land-Rover.Team.Net/ I have a 1970 IIa Lightweight for sale here that I am going to paint. This week. Wednesday. It is a slightly scabius shade of green at the moment and flushed with the success of the paint job I did on the ambulance last week=20= I was, (am ?) planning to paint it the same NATO green. This morning we have been doing the surface prep ( with an angle grinder and a wire brush ) And we have discovered several interesting things. First this vehicle is reputed t= o have a very low mileage, 18k. Second as we have been removing the flaking paint we have discovered that the bottom color seems to be DARK Blue ??? RA= F ?? Under what circumstances were Lightweights painted such a color? It also has what could be flag holders on the front wings. With the demise of the Museum of Army Transport I don't know where to turn for the service history of the vehicle, any suggestions? What color were the RAF ceremonial flight Lightweights painted? I guess the idea of painting it school bus yellow with "Follow me" on the back is right out :-( Rgds Quintin ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970515 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

If the engine has not been cleaned too virgourosly or "hot tanked" you might find patches of the original paint under particularly thick oil deposits. You might want to join the SI Club. Dues for overseas members are around 20#/year. Their magazine is very good, and I think it has had info on engine paint colors recently. If you're a member you can contact the relevant technical officer for assistance.

Date: Thu, 15 May 1997 01:19:43 +0100 From: The Big Guy <guru@manhole.ow.nl> Subject: Re: 900-16 tires greetings, To those who were interested in the posibilities of 9.00x16 tires under the 109, I HAD a set under mine (SIII 109 ex-RAF). My advice is dont do it. My main problems were the rim offset was original for the 7.50x16's so my turn radius became non-existant (ever heard the song "gimme 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around" ;-) ). Next, the bigger dia. of the tires places you engine way out of the proper "power band" (couldnt get above 60mph before the engine fell on its face because the revs were too low). In addition, I needed to fit a steering damper (the weight of these tires will tear up your front axle in short order). All in all I was glad I got rid of mine and put 205's under it (although I would still like to go back to 7.50x16's).

I seriously investigated the 900X16 issue two years ago - I was mesmerised by the phenominal floatation of the 900X16's on soft sand - but was forced to abandon the idea because of the turning circle and the gearing. Another point is that most 900X16's are designed as agricultural tyres (for use on farm trailers, etc) and therefore only rated for sometimes as low as 40km/h. Which given the gearing would probably be terminal velocity in any case.

No, 'twasn't me. Mike just commented on my 110. But I don't think that the mixture has to do with the military. LR just started to use metric with the coilers. So every new piece is metric (eg. transmission) and the older things are still imperial.
