From: Easton Trevor <Trevor_Easton@dofasco.ca> Subject: LRO and charities Date: Thu, 8 Jan 1998 08:23:00 -0500 A while back we had a thread going about LROs supporting charities. Nothing much came of it from the listserver end. I managed to interest LRC in supporting the Canadian Feed the Children and TARC have made donations to the same cause. Another chance is coming up for you to show some support. In September 98 the Morgan Sports Car Club of Canada features Land Rover in their Santa Claus Toy Run on Sunday 27th starting from the Halton Regional Museum in Milton, Ontario. the run winds through the beautiful fall colours of Halton Region to finish at Mapleview Mall, Burlington and then on to a Chili Bash and prize giving. We already have at least one 101FC for Santa and his elves to ride in (and freeze their Bo***cks off, as the owner points out). This annual run supports the Jimmy Lomax "Operation Santa Claus". In 1996 Bill Leacock won furthest travelled coming from Lockport, someone can do better this year. To quote Santa (Vern from MSSCC) " The Toy Run is a roving car show, a show for DRIVERS. All the participants & spectators are encouraged to bring toys & other donations for Jimmy Lomax's charity, which, since 1958 has been helping people of all ages to have a merrier Christmas. Jimmy has received many recognitions for his years of voluntary dedication, one of which is the Order Of Canada. Inspired by the toy runs done by motorcyclists, the Morgan Sports Car Club of Canada began hosting this event in 1995. As Jimmy Lomax says, -the Toy Run is +more upscale+ than the biker runs-, as one would expect with the marques present: Rolls, Jaguar, Marcos, Aston-Martin, Bentley, Morgan,Land Rover, Lotus, Austin Healey, MG, Triumph, etc." Put it in your calender, contact me as bluerover@unforgettable.com for more info See you at Greek Peak Trevor ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980109 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Some of you might remember me mentioning the 2x4 ex-Belgian army landy's which were up for sale in Holland last juli. I have bought one yesterday (Dfl 2200,- , UKP 666 ,$1100,-)and am going to use it as a donor vehicle for old Rusty. She is actually in quite good shape and I feel somewhat reluctant to tear her apart. She is a sound SIII '88 1977 with 2.25 petrol engine, superb chassis and reasonable firewall. It should be possible to just replace the transfer box with a standard unit, then add front propshaft and driven axle...... But no, I wil just use the frame, firewall, softtop gear, swivell balls, rear axel and sell the rest. So Mike if you are still interested to hear more of these unusual vehicles just say so. I will have insight information (and some pictures) in the near future.

Hi all and Happy New Year, There was a minor glitch coming into '98, and the presentation of web digests was delayed a couple days, but all seems to be well again. Was there a Framingham gathering this week, I don't recall seeing anything on it ? Also, if there are going to be any good mendo trips before March 14th, could one of the left-coasters give me a shout. I've got a free trip on U.ScAIR and flying out to the bay area for the weekend wouldn't suck. (If there are any really interesting trips down South, I might interested too.

Why couldn't I bring this thing into the US and just not register it -- that is, not use drive it on public roads? What would Customs say to that? Maybe I just want it for a lawn ornament because it has more class than plastic flamingoes. If you have not already done so, pick up a copy of the US Customs pamphlet about importing a vehicle into the US. You will find that the only vehicles allowed in are those that meet the US emissions and safety requirements that were in force at the time of the vehicle's manufacture OR any vehicle more than 25 years old. The one-per-person-per -life waiver that used to be available for importing a non-US spec vehicle less than 25 years old has been eliminated. Customs will not allow a vehicle that doesn't comply with the requirements set out in the pamphlet off the dock. Your choices will be 1) bring the vehicle into compliance with US emissions and safety specifications, 2) ship the vehicle back to where it came from, and 3) destroy the vehicle on the spot. These are your only choices for the importation of a non-US spec vehicle less than 25 years old. Customs could care less what you intend to do with it or what you promise to do with it. If it doesn't comply, you won't be able to remove it from the dock or the Customs impound yard. The only alternative you have is to disassemble your 101 and ship it over in several shipments of pieces. They'll still have to go through Customs, but as it's not an assembled vehicle you could probably pass it off as spare parts. However, once put back together, it's likely that you won't be able to register it as the 101 does not exist in the US as far as the vehicle registration people are concerned. Depending on your state's regulations you may be able to get around this or you may find that they refuse to register it. This is no problem if you're going to drive it on your own property, but it will obviously keep you from using it off your property. __________________ C.

The overdrive was installed by the PO and it sounds fine, but there is a bit of play/driveline lash when it's engaged, so I'm prepping my spare parts bag for trouble ahead. > I don't have the backing plate for the SIII transmission and whatever internals that were removed to make way for the OD, so if the OD fails I am SOL. Can anyone specifically identify the parts I need, and better yet, does anyone have the parts for sale/trade or know of a reasonable source? You will need the cover for the hole where the overdrive enters the transfer case. You will need the original input gear (upper gear) that fits on the output shaft of the transmission and mates with the intermediate (middle) gear in the transfer case. You will need the various thrust washers that fit on one or both sides of the input gear. You will need the piece that screws (I think) onto the end of the transmission output shaft and locks the input gear in position. There may be a cotter pin or bendable tab washer required that locks the nut in place behind the input gear. The cover that fits on the back of the transfer case supports the rear of the transmission output shaft, so make sure it has the proper bushing/bearing installed. I believe that's about it. I installed my overdrive shortly after I bought my Series III new in 1973. I've had it off only once a number of years ago, but I don't think I've left out any essential parts. You should be able to get the parts you need from Rovers North or Atlantic British. If you get a factory service manual for your Land Rover, something you should have anyway, you will be able to identify the parts you need. __________________ C.

They are now offering a rig for do-it- yourself powder coating called HotCoat. Kit goes for $150.00 and extra colors/refills are $12.00. Is a three step process - strip the part, electrostatic powder coat, bake in an ELECTRIC oven at 400 degrees Farenheit for 10 minutes (says in the ad not to use an oven used for preparing food).

What's the fascination with the Powder Coating method of surface treatment? I've had several items that were done when I bought them and none lasted too long. One example was a brushguard on a 94 D90 TDI that got nicked in a few places and started to rust and bubble immediately and there was no apparent cure. I guess it looks ok at first, and is relatively cheap to do, but doesn't seem to offer real protection and a way to repair it if damaged, and a cosmetic fix; if you know what I mean. What parts would you consider powdercoating that wouldn't be better off primed and painted or galvanized? I'd even prefer cadmium or industrial chroming then paint of the preferred color over that. Just curious. pat 93 110 ------------------------------[ <- Message 14 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980109 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Next time you're by a golf course, notice all those daihatsu and mitsbishi trucklets the grounds keepers use. In Japan, that's a regular size pick-m-up, yet they're imported to NA and sold as off road only utility vehicles. Be kinda hard passing off a 101 that way, though. Bummer. Bringing over the bits and putting it together is doable. Here in GA, you can get just about anything registered. Thankfully, even though the federal government can say what gets in as whole vehicles, registration is still done by the individual states, and in some places by county. My county is most cooperative, as long as it's over fifteen years old. I used to drive NSUs, over here, which were legally imported, talk about a funny look and a roll of the eyes as they type up the registration! Those are fershur not in the digests anymore, either!!

Subject: The SLROC events'98 list...
I have updated the Scottish Land Rover Owners Club web pages, and have
available our 1998 calander of events.
The main page is at:
http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~kiz/SLROC/
The events are listed at:
http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~kiz/SLROC/events98.shtml
Note, 1998 is the 40th for the SLROC as well as the 50th for the LR marque
- so this will be a good year for us!
If anyone is in the area for one of our events, come along and watch...
The big event for all you competitive types is our ENDURO in mid-August,
open to anyone with an RAC race-licence and a properly specced motor (even
if it isn't a landy!). This will be a really spectacular event!
