I think I may have overlooked some requests for
copies of old Aussie ads.  Have I missed yours?

Don't hesitate to complain.

Hello,

Has anyone out there in LRO land ever swapped an older Series IIa =
steering wheel with a late Series IIa - III steering wheel?  If so, any =
suggestions would be appreciated.

I will be attending a conference ( Siggraph '97 ) in Los Angeles between

Should be no problem.  The only difference between the two steering wheel 
shafts is that the older spoked design needed a groove around the 
circumference of the shaft at the top to fix the wheel.  Back in '75 I 
went the other way and fitted an older styled wheel to my '70 IIa.  As I 
remember, other than the groove modification, it fit right on.

Subject: Free Wheel Hubs

Hah! Just when you thought it was safe...

No, this is not round II of that well worn saga, just an interesting
point.

Bought a "new" Landy the other day, a very nice "R6" (Series IIIs Stage
I with a SA Leyland developed 6 cyl instead of the V8) stationwagon. Had
a couple of negatives - one being free wheeling hubs (you KNOW how I
feel about them) - which I am busy rectifying :-). Well bought new front
wheel flanges, fitted them, tested them, and Hey there! 90Km/h and it
feels like the van wants to shake itself to bits!

To cut a long story relatively short I removed the front prop shaft and
the noise went away, Hmmm! Turns out that FWHs reliably ruin front prop
shafts in the following manner. When the hubs are disengaged (most of
the time or there would be no point fitting them in the first case!) the
prop shaft is idle (I know, I know!). When you drive over rough roads or
bumps the vibrations and shock impacts on the male/female joint in the
prop shaft in one point all the time, making for a loose joint. When you
do eventually engage the hubs or, as I did, reinstall solid wheel
flanges, the prop shaft rotates permanently again. Except it's no longer
running true! This rough running now transmits itself to the seal and
bearings on the front diff (Uh oh!), down the side/half shafts to the
solid wheel flanges, and to the front wheels. Causing accelerated wear
and tear all round and a hideous amount of road noise and shaking in the
steering.

Solution: New front prop shaft (Ouch!).

Result: Smooth as a babies backside, quiet as a mouse (OK, I'm not
expecting you to believe this all), and the same topend as with the
FWHs.

Subject: Need a Quality Axe? Slight Commercial Content

     In an effort to find Maine/US made products of a high quality for
members of The Downeast Land Rover Club, I have been discussing axes with
the Snow and Nealley Company, of Bangor Maine.  They have made axes since
1864, and offer a diverse product lineup.
     I approached Derek Husson at Snow and Nealley to see if he could offer
an incentive to our club members to purchase their product(read discount!),
and he graciously obliged!  I'd like to pass this offer along to all Land
Rover club members world wide, as I think Snow and Nealley's products are
top notch!
    Before I get flamed, neither myself or the Downeast Land Rover Club
profits from this special offer in any way.  I just want to see a home town
company with a good product get their wares into the hands of customers.
As a Land Rover owner, I love the opportunity to buy stuff for my truck at
a discount.
    They are offering two specials.
1.)  Hudson Bay Camping Axe.  This is a great all around axe, and myself
and lots of my friends have it.  Special price is $28.95, which includes a
free leather belt sheath.  Regular price is $34.95 without a sheath.  My
Hudson Bay Camping Axe lives in my Range Rover full time!

2.)  Splint and Kindle set.  Normally $54.95, special $44.95.

You can view their products on their web site at http://www.sntools.com
These special prices are only for members of Land Rover clubs.  Special
price is good until July 31st.  Call Snow and Nealley and mention the
Downeast Land Rover Club!  Ask for Derek Husson, Customer Service Manager.

Cheers!  John

Subject: Center cubby for ser III

Neal, i recently aquired a  late ser II-A for restoration and the best part
of the rover was the new center storage bin. it is made by   WOLF PRODUCTS
 and called an
Executive Series Console.it measured aprox 12 wide by 18 deep by 9 high  and
is really nice.great arm rest plus places for drinks tapes ,if you are
fortunate enough to have sounds,and amply space inside.there was no company
address on it but perhaps someone else will know of the company.
   if you cannot find what you want email me with your snail mail address and
i will send you a photo of this one.i am going to need the seat space with 4
kids who LOVE to ride in rovers so ill part with it for a nominal amount or
trade stuff.

The reason is that I want to reduce the heat coming into the

One of my colleagues is flying to London this weekend and
has offered to buy me the Rangie workshop manuals I need.

Would any of our UK based list members be able to recommend
a shop at which he might be able to pick the manuals up and
which is close to where he will be staying, viz. the Marlborough
Hotel in Bloomsbury Rd,  near Tottenham Court Road?

Phone and fax numbers would be nice too so I can arrange
pre-payment  via credit card.
