As the donor vehicle does not appear to be sagging I've decided to give the used springs a try. I've owned a J^%&()%$#p in the past, never again, trust me. $750 includes the cost of the springs which come with bushings installed, tax 15% and shipping which is about $50. I've considered purchasing from the UK. Even after the dollar exchange (approximately $2.35 Cdn = 1 pound) the price is very attractive. What scares me is the cost of shipping, handling fees and anything else our government can think of to fatten their pocket books. Now how can I spend that $750. Ummmm... Before I forget. Does rebuilding a road spring consist of replacing the bushings, shackles and bolts only? Or is there anything else I should do?

I have just had a quote of £20 per valve plus £30 extra for refacing etc. 4x £20 = £80 Exhaust 4x £20 = £80 Inlet (May as well get them replaced as well) £30 refacing =£190 This means using the old valves and guides which I would have thought a bit of a waste. I have seen recon unleaded heads for around £200. At this cost it would be better to do this rather than waste time at an engineering shop. What does anyone else think ?

Subject: Ragtop for shorty
Hi All,
Have just started to make my "new" shorty ('75 SIII 88") drivable. Put
on 110 side mirrors (new - Ouch!), stainless freeflow exhaust, and
pancake airfilter on Weber 36 DCD card. Will put on new bumper, tailgate
and indicator lights next week. One of the PO's pop-riveted thin sheet
steel to the full canopy frame, I'm about ready to un-pop-rivet the
contraption and send the frame in for hot dip galvanising. Big question
for the list is... Has anyone got plans/templates/blueprints for the
soft top (canvas) canopy? And if so can you contact me directly on
paul@adventures.co.za in this regard?
Regards
Paul Oxley

From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk> Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 18:15:40 +0200 Subject: Re: Diesel Starting Probs Dear Dennis Sounds to me that you have a leaky seal, gland or washer - somewhere in the fuel line, so that when the vehicle is parked for a while, the diesel gets out or air gets in, thus needing many amperes of starter motor to prime the system again. Unless the fault is obvious to the eye - like dripping diesel on the ground - this can be very hard to find - the best thing to do is work your way from the tank to the engine and back to the tank, opening every gland, cleaning it, and changing copper washers on all banjo connections - then tighten up again, priming the system manually again before you start. Copper washers on banjos are especially vulnerable - they should only be used once - if you loosen them again, they should be replaced. Make sure all banjos and glands are completly clean before reassembling. Dont forget to check the timing cover gasket on the side of the distributor pump. The return from the top of the injector for cylinder #4 is a typical cause of this problem. This method will not find the fault - but it will most likely cure it. I am doing a rebuild at the moment - and for the same reason I have decided to change the entire fuel line system. Good luck!

Thank you very much Adrian for giving me nice advice. It is actually even more simple than you describe. I didn´t bother to remove the pump. It was just as easy to do it when it was still fitted to the engine. Just remove the airfilter and then it is plenty of room. Adrian, you wrote that I should take away the limits screws Why, they are not in the way? I did not take them away and I cant really see why they should go off. Also John Wood wrote that the two pieces I had leakeage between are fastened from the inside of the pump and thus it would be necessary to use a diesel work shop for the job. I hate to tell you this John but you are wrong. Maybe this is the case in older diesel pumps? Well, at least I didn´t brake any bolts which seem to be my new way of working on a car which started after I purchased my LR...

You must excuse my instructions - I now the limit bolts don't need to be removed - but I added the comment to make sure that, if you did remove them (maybe you are a fanatic like me, who always strips things down to clean and tidy up whilst you are at it!) then you would remember to measure them first. The same with removing the pump - I guess it could be done on the block - I have never tried, because I have this habit of always using a mechanical failure as an excuse to rebuild the unit in question - that way I work my way around the entire motor in the course of a year or two. I also thought that - as it was the first time you were stripping the pump, it would be easier to accomplish on the bench, especially aligning the inside of the lever-unit. I must also confest that my hands are too big for delicate repairs whilst stretching over a motor - and with new springs, my front wings are just too high for me to lean over comfortably for a long time! Anyway - glad to hear that it all worked out - these paper gaskets in the lever-housing of the distributor pump seem to burst quite unexpectedly, they are so cheap that its worth having a spare lying around. Cheers.

I plumped for the (slightly more expensive) performance head that's ported in addition to the hardened valves, etc. it's supposed to give an additional 5-10 BHP and I must admit she does feel a bit more pokey. I chose this path as it meant I was only off the road for the day-and-a-half it took to swap the heads. The old head is now sitting in a crate in the shed waiting to go back to Turner's - if they find no problems with it they'll refund a 70UKP surcharge. Much better than removing the head, then taking it to an engineers shop and waiting while they get round to doing it, and then having to refit it again - I couldn't afford all that time without transport!!

That's easy for you say, driveless sense is more my forte except when I'm going to the dentist in the morning. Which I am. Squark, banana, fig leaves I'll have a cup of tea Mrs Onassis. Rave on John Donne. And you Gregory. Has anybody got an idea what a carburettor is?

I'm a freelancer, and since I don't have a "job" people seem to assume life is just one long holiday for me, but I'm busy all the time and haven't had a holiday for years, not even sure what a holiday is anymore - what do you do, lie on a beach? (That wouldn't work, I live on a beach!) I've got postings coming in from six lists, reading them would be a full-time job (shudder!). I noticed TeriAnn Wakeman has the same problem: "I subscribe to several high volume mail Lists and do not read every posting. If you send me direct mail, please start subject with TW- so I will know to read it." Maybe she has the same solution - give them a glance, chuck 'em in an archives and use a search engine when you want something. Unless Sysiphus is your role model... >I never unsubscribe as I don't like to miss the latest flamefests ;-) Yes! Re which, how about a protracted list-wide discussion on whether James Bond used oil or grease in the swivel hubs of his 1933 Hillman Alpine DB5 straight six?
