Hi All,
LRO Digest:
Well, after some more work, the lro-digest should be back on schedule
and be delivered daily, as you're used to.
All of the lro-digests (July 8-15, Aug 14-29) have been restored for
retrieval via the web
Year-1997/
or via majordom@land-rover.team.net
get lro-digest 970707.txt
UK-LRO Digest:
The UK LRO digests from August 2 thorugh 14 have been restored and
are available for retrieval via the web at
UK
or via majordom@land-rover.team.net
get uk-lro-digest 970802.txt
Unfortunately, the UK archives for July 8 to August 1 have been lost.

Once again, I'm off from the 2nd, to work as crew on a five day,

From there I'm off to San Francisco for a week, suposedly for work :-)

Date: Sat, 30 Aug 1997 12:55:48 -0400 (EDT) From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Subject: Mianshaft removal There have been a few postings regarding the ddifficulty in removing the gearbox mainshaft. The problem with just pounding on the end of the shaft is that much of the force is absorbed into other parts and doees not help. In a situationb where the mainshaft is difficult to remove my advise is to remove the circlip from the mainshaft bearing and remove the bearing and shaft as an assembly. This then enables easy access to remove the bearing from the shaft. Banging on the end of the shaft is potentially bad for the mainshaft ball bearing in any event. The balls are not designed to transmit force from the inner to the outer race. Axial shocks can cause indents in the balls or hardened races resulting in early failure of the bearing.

From: JSmallals@aol.com Date: Sat, 30 Aug 1997 13:37:03 -0400 (EDT) Subject: engine cooling Hello all, Just wondering on the normalcy of my rover. After driving at normal operating temp...about 87 degrees C. It takes about three hours for the engine to cool down. After about two hours, the temp gauge still says 40-50 degrees and the engine is hot to the touch. Is this normal? If not, why isn't my engine cooling properly? During driving, it has never overheated and the thermostat is new. thanks in advance, James Small Denver, Colorado 66 SWB "Daily Driver" ------------------------------[ <- Message 6 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970831 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I've E-mailed a >dealer in the UK a couple of times for info but sofar no answer. There are always LHD ex-MoD cars advertised - no IIA's anymore, though, if I remember correctly. For the conversion you would need quite a few parts, but it should be manageable. What I would do if I had the problem would be to get a good IIA from the UK, and a wreck from the continent. Then you could dismantle all the parts that are different from both vehicles, throw away the RHD and install the LHD. AFAIK the pedals and linkages, the brake lines, the transmission brake linkage and the steering plus linkage would have to be changed; also, the decal on the back of the car has to be switched over - it is always on the side opposite the driver. However, do you need to do all that? The only time LHD is of advantage on the continent is when you are passing, and you would not do that a lot in a IIA. Also, you could drink as much as you wanted as long as your passenger stys reasonably sober - the police would probably always test your passenger.

From: lndrvr@ldd.net (BRIAN WILLOUGHBY) Subject: Priming & Painting Galvanised Frames Date: Sat, 30 Aug 1997 19:57:50 -0500 As some of you may remember, I'm in the middle of a frame-over on my '60 Series II. After several months of careful budgeting and assembling all the necessary new parts to build-up a rolling chassis, I am now ready to prime and paint my new galvanised frame. Here's my question: what is the best primer to used on these frames? I was favouring something nasty like zinc chromate, though my friend who is doing the spraying for me has been advising me to use "Variprime" which I think is a DuPont product. Whoever makes this stuff, I'm certain that it contains phosphoric acid so that it will "bite" into the galvanise. I'm a bit fearful of this type of prime since I have heard rumours about it continue to eat into the metal for years afterward if not properly cured. Any thoughts, advice and/or experiences would be most appreciated.

From: "j ron sutcliffe" <jurixsys@alaska.net> Subject: Axle Seals help...... Date: Sat, 30 Aug 1997 19:21:53 -0800 I recently blew my axle seals. I bought the parts advised on here. OK. So I take off the brake drum, and get down to the part where there's an axle stub sticking out and there's a lock washer and another nut which have to wind off. Haynes is no help. The photos aren't even close. this is a Light Weight of questionable vintage. Prob. a SIII. There's a lock nut which I think I need to back off. Question. I'm assuming this is right hand thread. Do I have to get the lock nut off with a screw driver before applying pressure to the main nut? I'm reluctant to start beating on stuff. Thanks. btw...Want a laugh..www.alaska.net/~jurixsys/home2.htm (world's only web page featuring an animated oil spewing lightweight) And if anyone cares.....The incredible diss of me in Sept's LRW is unwarranted....I spent maybe $49 on the 3K lights and my electric bell maybe went up a dollar or two. j sutcliffe 19??

After several months of careful budgeting and assembling all [ truncated by list-digester (was 17 lines)] > Brian > 1960 Series II 88" Station Wagon Ummm, if your frame is galvanised why on earth are you wanting to paint it? The only way of painting over galvanising that I know of is to use a product like 'Galvogrip' which etches the surface of the galvanising (thereby neutralising the surface - a pointless excercise).

If that doesn't rule out that option than probably municipal regulations will. Many municipalities prohibited this scale car repair in a public place. I could get away with one car in the process of restoration, but two? I guess I'll just have to buy that farm with plenty of barn space first, hey? > However, do you need to do all that?
