From: marsden@digicon-egr.co.uk (Richard Marsden) Subject: Brackets, and wotnots Date: Thu, 10 Jul 97 9:01:09 BST I seem to be doing quite well: not only are the new temp. gauges, but I managed to free my passenger-side vent last night. Nice day, so I thought I'd look at it. This has never worked. Virtually dismantled the whole thing - including the two hinges (this is what took the most time), and found that one of the bolts had seized. Both bolts were a nice rusty colour, but the seized one was, of course, the most inaccessible. Lots of WD 40, and rebuilt with copper slip. An hour's work and I'm satisfied! :-) I bet I won't notice the difference, either! Anyway, I'm looking how to fit this radio in, again... I thought about fitting the speakers (I have two small ones) on the corner brackets in the hardtop - just behind the doors. One of my seatbelts is mounted to one of these. The left "bracket" is actually a diagonal. The position of this is well placed for the speaker. The right "bracket" is more of a corner piece - and iron - ie. its nice and rusty. Does anyone have a part number for a bracket like the left side, but for the right? My parts book doesn't cover hardtops - just SW and hoods. Not that I'm shying away from any metal-working or anything...

In the VIN/serial numbers used from 1962 to 1979 the first 3 digits indicate model, the remaining five digits is the serial number (starting with 00001) and the suffix letter indicate design modification. This serial numbering scheme has no indication of year of manufacture / model-year. The C-suffix chassis was introduced around April 1966 and manufactured for about a year (until April 1967).

From: AKBLACKLEY@aol.com Date: Thu, 10 Jul 1997 08:34:04 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Oil pressure problems Mark: Thanks for your info. I am considering an oil cooler ( I saw one in the Jegs Hi-Po catalog that goes in line with the radiator hoses, which would give you an thermostatically controlled cooling, but obviously depends on a non-overheating engine). The real culprit is the marginal Rover/Buick 215 oil system design. Cheers.

Subject: Continental Divide Trip?
Are there still plans for a Continental Divide trip in August? I was
planning on going next week, but it looks like that trip might not go
through, and if the dates worked out I would love to join the August trip.

Date: Thu, 10 Jul 1997 19:48:37 +0000 From: Ian Harper/Donna-Claire McLeod <tantramar@golden.net> Subject: Distributor problems In a desperate attempt to find out why I was leving a trail of smoke behind me wherever I went, and asphyxiating the kids in the bargain (I eventually fixed it for now with a new O-ring in the Carb) I took out the distributor, as the points had worn very fast (only a year since I changed them last!!!) and discovered that the contact gap on each of the four lobes of the cam gave readings from .018 (.015 being normal) to .008. I checked the cam by replacing it from another distibutor (from my SII engine....unfortunate as that dist is a little too short to fit in) and it was OK, likewise for the breaker plate etc. (these all gave good readings when placed in the other Dist) The only thing I can think of that might be replaceable is the drive bushing is gone, or the shaft. It doesn't seem to wobble but then again...... Do I have to get a whole new distributor, or can I replace either the driveshaft or the bushing? Does anyone have part #'s for these? It's for a '74 S3 2 1/4 Petrol.

I see (or actually, don't) that the Major went west the same day that Bill
C. departed for the UK. If any real-timers are getting this, please E-mail
back. Otherwise, I'll talk to you again on the 25th when Bill (and
presumably the Major) return. Cheers

Date: Thu, 10 Jul 1997 20:54:18 -0500 Does the radiator fan attached to the belt system run constantly with the belt or does it have a clutch that engages and disengages? If it runs off a clutch, can I splice into the line with a switch to disengage during water crossings, etc. If not how do you remove the fan to install an electric fan instead??
