Subject: Welding frame (type of machine used)

For general frame repair I'm assuming MIG welding is preffered over arc
as it's "easier" to use.Has anyone used an arc welder 115v. and had
satisfactory results?
For the cost conscious Canadian consumer,Canadian Tire has them on sale
at $149.00. (80 amp)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Steve

Re: MIG vs 110v arc:

Don't even bother - it won't penetrate well enough to hold up to the
torsional stresses.

Get or rent a Mig and use gasless flux-coated wire - does a lovely job, and
easy to clean up.

Subject: 88" SI problem areas?

Hi all, next week I hope to inspect more closely and possibly purchase :-o :-) an 88 inch series one with my brother, and I would gratefully recieve any words of advice on what to look out for on this particular model, or indeed any SI.  (Corrosion blackspots, etc).  As my family have had landrovers for a long time, I know (I hope!) what we are letting ourselves in for!

Thanks in advance,
AJ

Only fifteen dollars?  Aren't you going to wash the inside of the fenders too?

The last time we washed Baby, we wore out a nozzle at the car wash. It just
fell apart.

     Has anyone In the US found a source for the grey elephant hyde material
or a close substitute for re-covering the individual rear jump seats in a
station wagon?
I do beleive that that Charles Kellogg out at British NW L-R has some but it
is most likely very $$$ any other alternatives??

Chuck is the only source of which I've heard.  An SF Bay area LRO says
Chuck will only sell the stuff if you sen him the seat, and he rebuilds
it.

I'm pretty sure I have an extra set of mid-60's vintage SW jump seats
(without any cuts/rips) if you're interested in OEM replacements.

Subject: D-Day Comments

I want to thank Jim Allen and everyone else for their comments about D-Day.
Hopefully, we will all learn from those tragic days.  Having just turned 49,
watched with pride as my son graduated from high school, and prepare for my
24th wedding anniversary, I take much more seriously those things my parents
and others have done for me.

My mother's first husband was killed along the German border sometime in
December, 1944.  Four and one-half short months before the end of the war.
He never got to see or hold his daughter, my older sister.  My father was
wounded while serving in an armored divison as it fought it's way into
Germany.  He never wanted to talk about what he saw there when I asked him
as a child (As a Viet Nam vet, I now understand why).

My mother was third generation German-American.  Many of my relatives here
in the States came from Germany just before WWI.  I must have lost a lot of
our kin and who fought on the German side of that dreadful war.  I imagine
cousin fighting cousin, brother against brother.  How frightful and wasteful
it all was.

Let us hope that these horrors never occur again.  

T.F. Mills is right in reminding us that our bonds across the internet are
based on something that is a result of that war.  I personally am grateful
that the "flames" we occasionally shoot at each other on this medium are
harmless compared to the lead and steel our forefathers threw at their
antagonists.  Let us all enjoy our mutual admiration for that silly box of
an off-road vehicle made made by those excentric folks in "Jolly Old".

Thanks for the tip.I'd hate to have found that out down the road...or 
trail as it were!
Mig welders are on for $349 at Canadian Tire BTW

The Series 1 Rover I mentioned a couple weeks back is up for sale.
I've come to the conclusion another project vehicle may push my dear
wife over the edge.
Anyone interested can phone the owner,John Green,for a description of
the vehicle(located near Belleville,Ontario) at:613-969-8907 He has an
internet connection but is having email difficulties.
Usual disclaimers apply.

Steve

Subject: 3.9L Distributor Source Needed

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a replacement distributor of like quality to the
Genuine part at a lower price? Possibly with greater performance or
longevity. 

Alternately, does anyone have an extra distributor in good condition?

Cheers,

For the person trying to do a spring installation and getting rid of the
bushings.  You don't need a fancy tool.  Just get a piece of threaded
rod a little over twice the length of the bushings and with a nut and
washer against the spring and a deep socket or piece of pipe to pull the
bushing into, start to tighten the nut and pull the bush out of the
housing.  I just did the two springs on mine, and except for one that I
had to apply heat to, all came out with just this method.  The one that
took heat also needed an air chisel to get it out.  Some bushes are
really rusted in and require quite a bit of work to get them free.  Dave

P.S.  My 69 88" station wagon is for sale in Manitoba.  Everything
except the carb and dist. have been replaced or redone.  New paint etc.
and safari rack, winch and rear wiper.  About $10,000 Canadian will buy
her.

Subject: For Sale Sighting

Hello,
   I saw a two door 109" today in Virginia Beach and I wonder if it belongs to 
someone on the list. If it does I would be interseted in the details of the 
sale.
I waved but I don't own a Rover and they did not see me.
                                                     
Thanks,
