Hello all,
just a little story for public amusement:
Last night I visited my mechanic to have him look after the backlash
of my rear diff. When I came there the workshop door was open, so I
walked right in. Nobody was visible, but after watching around a bit
I discovered Max (the mechanic) lying under the dashboard of a Mini
Cooper messing with wires and mumbling unprintable things. 
It turned out that he had installed a stereo and a CD-changer and
when he tried to fix the horn, suddenly nearly all the electrics
ceased function. It took him quite a while pulling the two dozen
inline fuses this bugger has, to realise that it was just some bad 
contacts in the fusebox. In the meantime I had a good opportunity
to tell some jokes about Sir Lucas. ;-)
Think it's a good time to get my LR there now since he said he has
his British week in the moment (he also had a MG in the workshop).

cu.

Subject: B.L.R.S. Jump Seats

Greetings from Southern Delaware!  I've been "observing" the list for a few
months now, and I finally have a question worth posting.
Has anyone in the U.S. ordered jump seats from B.L.R.S. LTD (listed in LRO)?
I shudder at the thought of having to pay what outlandish British and Novers
Rorth are asking, but I'm a little leery of ordering from the U.K. and then
being dissatisfied.  I also need some seatbelts for them... any particular
vehicle to get them from in a salvage yard?

My friend just purchased 2 hiback seats for the second row in his 110 SW 
from BLRS. The seats are firm and appear to be well made. Fitting took he 
and his 12 year old son an hour and a half, most of that getting one seized

Subject: Waxoyl and substitutes
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 1997 08:59:56 -0400

As I am about to begin a frameover, the subject of preserving the 
frame comes to mind. I have often considered concocting my own home 
brew for frame preservation.
Has anyone done this?  I have contemplated using a mixture of Bar and 
Chain oil, varsol and paraffin wax.  I'm not sure of the proportions, 
but obviously it would need to be heated to melt and mix the paraffin 
and thinned enough to spray with low pressure garden sprayer or 
compressor, yet when cooled should thicken enough to stay in place in 
temps. above 100 degs.  Suggestions on the proportions are welcome.

Also, a Chem. E. type friend of mine has offered to analyze, via 
spectrum analysis in his lab, the contents of Waxoyl but I don't have 
any.  Someone want to send me an ounce for analysis ?  I'll then share 
the info with the list.  Since its harder and getting more expensive 
to get Waxoyl, maybe we can come up with a reasonably priced 
alternative we can 'brew' at home, much like beer.

I took that as sarcastic and gloating at the misfortune of someone who

event in North America. Unfortunate in that Myles' phone goes out just
as the rally date approaches. I was not the only one who took your

I should hope so, BTW are your publication dates any more regular? I am

although I am still listed as a member in the last member list.

This was in response to many attempts to wrest control from him, one can
hardly blame him, or his tone. If someone tried to take something away

You are not *furthering the marque* you are directly antagonising the
event coordinator (Myles) to the detriment of the event. how can this
further the marque or the future of the event?
You don't get it, you don't have to get it because you haven't ever been
to a Downeast, you won't ever go to a Downeast, you can afford to
destroy a east coast event, because it doesn't have any impact on your
California club.

Where does the $500 you paid go? Does it buy food for the attendees?,
does it help defray the costs of mailings? where does it go, what does
it do? 
My guess it goes into the coffers of the Owls Head Transportation
Musuem, and lets you hang a banner someplace. It cost the Musuem
*nothing* to have us there, it *makes* money for them. We eat their $3
hotdogs and hamburgers. What do they give us? Parking spaces.
It is not The Owls Head Transportation Musuem Land Rover Rally. I am
still unsure what gives then the right to sell shares of an event they
don't produce. 

Your act is still weak.

David,

I have heard Myles' side of the story, (given an earful at the Whales
Tooth last year) but I dont know Mike's side of the story. (perhaps you
and I should have a pint and sort this thing out :)) I also have only
spoken to Mike Smith once, but judging from his exit from this list and
his comtempt for people who wanted to give him money (and people who
have given him money) I neither want to talk to him, nor do business
with him

Lets get one thing straight, Myles is cantankerous, seriously
cantankerous, but the rally is his brainchild, he built it. One of three
things is going to happen:
1) Myles is going to walk away, no-one is going to pick up the
   pieces, and we are going to be stuck going to the neighbors 
   boring BBQ that weekend
2) Myles is going to walk away, someone is going to pick up the 
   pieces. I don't know who.
3) Myles is going to stick around and get to run the rally the 
   way he likes.
No one seems likely to step in and run the whole thing, Mike, are you
going to fly out from CA to run the thing? We look like the big losers,
those of us who have seen the rally grow, been a part of it. I will miss
the rally this year for the first time in six years. I *was* there the
year there were only 30 rovers. I do feel a little propitary about it.
especially when people step in with what seems to be little regard for
the event.

Yes, but the Sunday is the only day where there are activities in Owls
Head, most of the weekends activites are in Camden or Lincolnville.
especially Lincolnville (site of the Whale's Tooth and the Isleboro
ferry)

>>You may not want to ask someone from Maryland living in Michigan

It's just that there are so many places where you will be in the center
of activity, and likely have half of the other residents be rover
owners. I used to live in Owl's Head, BTW

Have you consider some alternatives. LPS3 seems similar, I am trying
to order some. Texaco makes something along these lines too.

I have the caviar higbbacks that Bat Fastard advertize in LROI, but got
them from BP, who don't often have them in stock.  I can therefore
attest to the quality of the product, but not the company.  I called
them to ask what shipping to California would be, and was astonished at
the result.  I think it was going to be about 120 quid.

Subject: Rallies and stuff

Dear all,
        As ECR is not on the digest anymore and I don't know what the
latest scoop is... I thought I'd pass on some info., as much as I know. A
bunch of digest readers have called, faxed and emailed stuff to me about
the upcoming DownEast Rally. Well here is what I know to help dispell the
rumor mill. For reasons brought up many months ago, which we need not get
into again as they are solely my personal opinion, ECR decided to not have
a hand in the DownEast for 97. We have in turn put our efforts into the
July Tea Pond event, and Sept. Stratton-Eustis Off Roadeo for 97. ECR is
not sponsoring the Owls Head Museum. We did for 95 and 96, but for 97 we
decided we did not need to get involved, we already have more work than we
need for the remainder of 97, so sponsorship did not make good business or
political sense. The largest communication I have had with the museum was a
few emails with the organizer Kevin, asking me... and everyone else in the
New England Land Rover scene, if they did want to continue the event for
98, as I guess the museum and Myles have split up, would we be able direct
them on where to send press releases, who to contact etc.. As far as I know
that was the end of it, and have not spoken with the museum for a month or
so. I have had no communication with Myles for about 9 months or so, so I
really know nothing as fact about any thing to do with the 97 Rally. Only
thing I do know is the museum has made it clear to everyone that they want
to keep doing a Land Rover event. I guess that saga will unfold for them
next year.
        Recently we have been getting lots of calls both at the shop and my
home phone, as Myles' phone seems to be out. We have informed all callers
that the event is still going on, but the only thing we know about is the
Sunday day. We then direct them to call Rovers North, as they advertised in
their Newsletter that they are the ones who will be helping with the off
road day, and should have more information than we do, as we have, and want
no part in it. I'm not even sure where it is. So I hope everything is going
on as planned, to my knowledge for the people that have called it is NOT
cancelled... Friday with Jeff Aronson on the island, Sat. with Myles at his
new off road course, Sunday at the Musem for the air and Rover show. Best
places I can think of for information would be Rovers North, probably Dixon
Kenner, The Old Mass. campground in Lincolnville, or keep trying Myles'
phone 207.789.5303 until it gets re-connected. You all may have this
covered already, but this is the information as I know it... becasue from
the stuff that has been forwarded to me... sounds like people are trying to
read a lot more into it. There may be tons of political back stabbing going
on, and from the *note from the organizer* I saw from Myles, he obviously
thinks there is, and there may be. But fortunately, by the good graces of
god... ECR and I don't have anything to do with it for 97. *I'd say I
picked a good year to keep ECR out of it!! :-) * However, if you have any
questions or want to know anything to do with ECR... best place to get that
information would be to call ECR *I welcome all your calls*, don't
speculate on what 10 people down the line might think we are doing.
        If anyone knows of a secondary source of info., since the 789.5303
number isn't working, that I can have the people that are mistakenly
calling ECR call, please let me know so I can direct people to the right
place for information.

See ya!

Hi all,

If you all remember, I was having clutch slipping problems up the steepest of
hills and thought oil was dripping from the flywheel housing.

After discussions with my mechanic, he pulled the transmission (I forgot the
Marsland frames have a transmission crossmember which unbolts) and found:

driven plate worn through the rivets
pressure plate shot (broken springs etc)
pilot (flywheel) bushing shaped like an egg.
rear mainseal leaking

He plans to turn the flywheel, replace the pilot bushing and put in a new
pressure plate and driven plate.

I'm now glad I sent it up there, I would not have known what to check on the
flywheel and pilot bushing (didn't know what it was until today)

During a particularly grimy session of engine installation at Bill

been searching for.
Laying there amid the gathered mess was a lucas dynamo with a hydraulic 
pump attached to the aft end! This had come from the Rover sedan that had 
donated it's 3.0 L engine to Bill's 109, which had rudimentary power 
steering.
This is going to be just the thing for converting the Ramsey PTO winch to 
hydraulic drive...and it's Rover!
Will keep y'all updated as it goes.

Spoken like a true *republican*, eh Larry? ;-)  At least he knows how to 
turn a wrench.  I don't think our current gov. could pour piss out of a boot 
with instructions printed on the heel!

Very cool. Hope it works.  BTW, did you and Bill get the engine
working?  How does it run?  I would of loved to help out again but
unfortunately I'm back in NY for the summer.

Hm! I did try this either, but there are some points you left out here.
- I wouldn't consider it bad if the stuff  gets more or less liquid in
summer. This would allow it to penetrate new rust (and drip out of 
the chassis ;-). 
- Having to heat it to make it srayable is IMHO not so good, since
it will probably cool down to much between the spraygun and the
surface. Using a thinner (petrol?) may be better.

Any comments?

Subject: re: Dukes of Hazzard (Zero LR - sorry)

I must take issue with Uncle R.

:(Dukes of Hazzard, for our more civilized foreign freinds, was a late 70's
:show about two brothers and their souped up dodge charger.  They went
:zipping around the southern countryside getting into trouble with the local
:(corrupt) law/powers-that-be, and generally saving the day.)

Sorry Uncle, but you neglected to mention that the D.O.H. was pure unmitigated 
crap.

Thats it,

# umount /soapbox

Cheers, Paul.

PS. I think our vehicles are more akin to those featured in 'The Beverly 
Hillbillies' anyway. And the ahem, "better looking" cast member was at least 
typecast with more brains and common sense than Daisy Duke.

PPS. LR content ? Umm, I was always impressed by the fact the Dukes had a 
trolley jack in the boot .... no .... sorry ....

Definitely time to go home now :-)

Crap it may have been, but it *did have* Daisy Duke's legs!
