From: SPYDERS <SPYDERS@aol.com> Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 08:24:39 EDT Subject: Crrrunch! I'm at the Florida LR Club's Rallye, and I crunched my front bumper on the trials course yesterday. Ugh. Didn't get too far either. Oh well, I was planning on getting one anyway. Only four people got clear through the course, and one guy had a Detroit in the rear. It was a *short* course, only about 200 yards, max, but with three steep approach water crossings, it was difficult. Damage report from the 1st Mate: One tweaked bumper, one dinged front wing, one popped out turn signal and two cracked headlights. Everyone was surprised at how well the bumper absorbed the three inch tree, and I was quite amazed at the lack of body damage. Today is the last day of the event and despite all the above, I'm having a great time here with all the other rover owners using our rovers! pat 93 "crunch" 110 ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980420 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The Nabraska Test is also regognised internationally so if would have been important for more than just the American market to have a report form there. The Land Rover was also tested at Silsoe in England for the same purpose and actually received quite a good result.

From: lndrvr@ldd.net (BRIAN WILLOUGHBY) Date: Sun, 19 Apr 1998 10:03:56 -0500 Subject: Tropical Roof Windows (a.k.a. Alpine Lights) No one responded earlier when I asked this question, so I will try again. I have two old pieces of Alpine Light glass which I purchased used a number of years ago. These window glazings are glass and are untinted. However, I have noticed that on later tropical roofs, the glazing appears to be some sort of plexiglass. The later glazing sounds different when gently tapped on and it has a light blue tint. Okay, anyone out there know anything about this? Is it just my imagination or are the later ones really plastic? Where these intended for certain markets or certain militaries' use? Sorry to bother everyone with this, though it's just one of those curious little mysteries I would like to solve.

FWIW my 68 has clear alpine windows, I can't be certain about my 72 it's
in storage quite a ways from here but if I had to guess I would say they
are clear as well

(1961 SII/SIIA 88") My brakes are too tight. I cannot even turn the wheel. Yes the snail cams are all the way loose. So I pulled off the drum and noticed that the leading shoe is about 5mm from the loose snail cam position. The brake springs seem very tight and pulling on the cylinders but they do not compress. The leading shoe may be binding at the bottom on the round pivot. The wheel cylinder dust seals were bone dry so I partly disasmbeled cleaned and renewed the red grease while in place. I have only done one wheel but suspect the rest to be the same. Could this be a central problem like the master cylinder. I rebuilt it about three months ago but I have not driven the vehicle since. Still an stands in the back yard (at least its not the front yard). My wife calls it the "Lawn Ornament". I am very new and still have alot to learn maybe I messed something up. Its like the valve is in backwards but I dont know. Any advicewill be appreciated. I have to get this on the road soon!!!

You webring submission page doesn't like
http://www.cix.co.uk/~rigel/alice.htm

Subject: New Web Page and Rover Web Ring - this time with the address!
DOH!
In a message dated 98-04-17 12:43:47 EDT, you write:
<< To all my fellow rover enthusiasts,
I would like to announce a new web page and a new web ring dedicated
to
Land Rovers and their owners.
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/5870/
My web site primarily consists of a list of homepages of clubs and
owners.
Also there is a long list of commercial companies that have been on lro
and
rro lists over the past year. Many of you will find your personnal home
pages
listed on this page. If any of you don't want them there or wish to have
the
comments (if any) change please e-mail.
The Rover Ring when fully implemented will allow Rover Enthusiasts to
move
from Rover site to Rover site. The more that join, the more fun it will
be.
All the instructions and HTML that are needed are posted on the page. If
you
have problems drop me a line and my wife Mandi (it was her brilliant idea)
will try to assist.
Please take a look and send comments and suggestions to
Jon Stehn
