Subject: Craddock 101's for kit truck
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 1998 09:03:12 -0600

I called Craddock in mid December and they had crated (by the military)
101's that they had aquired from the military at auction. Some have no
engines, some have no axles, and all are soft tops I believe. The cost
quoted me was 1500 pounds sterling for one without engine or axles. Shipping
quote to Dallas was 1800 pounds sterling. At that point you could then find
some Range Rover axles which would give you a coil spring suspension and
disc brakes(old article in LRW). And for you engine and drivetrain, you
could go 3.9 L rover or Cummings diesel or whatever. Then you have the
ultimate kit truck.

Subject: Sound deadening and Uncle Roger's Question

I bought the sound deadening panels advertised in J.C Whitney, but I got
them locally.  They really do work.  They are about a foot square and
very dense and kind of , well rubbery!  They have a sticky side and a
non sticky side and you peel off the paper backing and stick them on.  I
put two packs in my doors on the 88 and they stopped the "oil canning"
and rattle. I will relate at the end how I decided to do this.  The
biggest difference I found in my noise level was when I installed a
heavy loading dock rubber mat in the rear tub of my 88.  It is about
7/16 thick and is like conveyor belt material.  I cut it to size and it
both protects and cuts the noise.  I also made blace leatherette door
and wall panels just like the OEM Land Rover supplied, my old elephant
hide ones were coming apart.  I installed a roof liner and my last plan
as I mentioned a few weeks ago on the net is to install the aluminium
foil covered dense foam under the covers I have made and especially in
the roof to keep the heat off.  My Rover is used hard but I keep it in
top shape.
Uncle Roger asked about a picture of the machine.  Well before I started
with all the little things, there was a picture on a WWW spot the Jimmy
somebody had, Jimmyy or Jimmyp.  Someone will remember, I sent it when
we all thought there was going to be a Land Rover Canlener a few years
back.  I will take another this summer with the safari rack, antennas,
pump, generator and radio room are all installed around Ham Radio Field
Day sometime about June and maybe Roger or me if I find out how will
scan it in.  Mark Perry from our local newpaper might have some lead on
how to do it, he is on the net here with his Land Rover.  My PTO didn't
arrive this weekend as I hoped, but today I am off to see about that
pump and generator.

P.S. I still haven't heard anyone on 20 meters from the group.  I will
try to be on again after 1:00 GMT Saturday around 14.150 to 14.200 Mhz

David said,
I've only seen the term "breakfast" used for the radiator panel used on
this list and in OVLR publications. It seems to be local slang. I find
"radiator panel" less confusing.

In US Body Shop parlance, that would be called a core support, because it
supports the core of the radiator, (actually the whole radiator, but go
figure!)

Hi Roverologists,

>Can anyone please help me with the current address in the U.K. where
the Fairey Overdrive is manufactured? I am making a trip to the U.K.
soon and wish to visit them.
Please reply to my personal E-Mail address, as I am not on the digest,
Thanks in advance.

I believe, but am not positive, that the Fairey Company no longer exists,
and the overdrive and other accessories once manufactured by them are now
made by Superwinch.  Perhaps someone on this list can verify or correct
this.

There's too much data to enter and track to make this work.  I called the
Washington DC DOT office a few months ago to get some info and during the
course of the conversation the agent revealed that they had 9 officers to
track 300 ports of entry.  All they can do is respond to calls from local
Customs agents to clarify items or questions that come up.   Someone else
called earlier and the agent said that EPA  was not a problem since their
office accross the hall was empty(!), they had already spend their budget
6 months into the year.  A later DOT agent --chief of the department,
didn't even know that the 2500 Land Rover brought in by LRNA didn't have
airbags in them as a result of a 'deal' with DOT, and wanted ME to provide
him with specifications and information (yea, sure! ;).   

I do know that Customs is using some kind of data system.   When we clear
Unimogs the shipper enters the vehicles and manifest data on computer as
the trucks are landed.  They data shows up on the Customs computers, and
they update data as they are cleared.  By the time you head back to the
shipper, their computer shows the updated info and they release the goods
to you.  Sounds ominous, but so far it only works in major ports locally,
they are not linked all over the country, though they probably are working
on it.  On the other hand, we've brought in several Unimogs on one load
and the hand written entry documents do not list specific type of goods
or serial numbers, only the import classification and duty rate.  So, as
always, the data in the system is only as good or complete as the info
entered into it.

Hi All,
 Well it looks as if we are some kind of threat to the US Government
because we want to import 101 LR's   So would there be a problem if we
imported the body of a 101 & installed it on a 109 frame? (like the
proto type was)  Well if I import a body without axles or drive train
Would I be able to install 109 parts which are here?

Just bought two large rolls of the aluminum backed, 3/8 inch insulation from
the J.C. Whitney catalog.  I'm going to try it in the tub and over the wheel
wells of the D90.  The manufacturer says it will not mold, mildew, and is fire
retardant.  If it works for the heat and noise, I intend to install it under
the door panels and seats.  We'll see how it works.

You are dealing with very thin aluminum panels.  EVERY example I have 
seen that was blasted with abrasives warped.

I tried a 3M abrasive wheel.  Whereever I used it, I needed to have the 
body bondowed to cover the deep scratches.

My recommendation:  The factory used a VERY good paint.  Dont take it off 
if you do not have to.  Just sand off any nofactory paint coats & paint 
over the factory paint.

John, (sorry) I know you said not to suggest paint stripper but I've just
done my entire S1 (tip to tail) with it without a problem. I tried several
types, ranging in price, and found the 'cheapie' to be the best. The stuff
I used is called Solarstream (it's Australian made and available at
Woolworths here). The chemical composition is 960 g/L Methylene Chloride,
130 g/L Methanol. This stuff is great, it even helps remove some aluminum
corrosion (that white powdery kind) and helps to loosen age old dirt and
grease. It is also good for removing human skin and facial hair!

Eric, I hope you'll be ok, it sounds like a very near thing!, I can
sympathise with you and agree with your warning. I have permanent damage to
my right eye through 2 incidents under a Land Rover, one when I caught a
facefull of rust and stupidly ignored the irritation for a few days, and
the second time I scored a piece of metal in the eye while drilling (I
think it was an earthing problem that I was sorting out... sound familiar?)
Luckily the doctor took it out under a local but the lens is permanently
scratched. I still feel slight twinges in that eye. A pair of goggles is
now a permanent part of my toolbox! We don't know how much we rely on the
ol'  peepers until we're without them. I'll SEE you later....and hope you
will too!

Ditto to TeriAnn.
  I used some grafitti remover from Walmart on Pansy a few years back. Took
off the old brown paint the PO had applied (to match the rest of the gear on
his place, I guess), and left the limestone, below the topsides. Stripped
everything off the roof and topsides and rear door, though. You have to
follow directions to the letter to use the stuff, specifically, apply one
brush stroke at a time and resist all temptation to go over it again, in
either direction.
Wear gloves, use well ventilated area, have water to rinse with, y'know; the
usual caveats.
Cheers!!
