Thanks Niall,

Apart from the size the weight of the bar is somewhat of a concern. I
haven't checked but I don't think it's alloy.

The "thing" is a cutoff apparently. I'm not sure how it really works but I'm
going to pull it off this weekend. If everything continues to work it'll
stay off.

Matt.

No worries Pete,
The prices for series stuff I've seen in the US is often high compared to
what we see here. I suppose I had to find something sooner or later that was
cheaper here :)

This thread also came up on the Land Cruiser list.  One of the chief
engineers who put it together is an uncle of a lister on the Land Cruiser
list, and guess he and some other listers list have ridden in the truck.
They say it actually feels and drives pretty strongly, where each gear sort
of "whips" you back into your seat.  They perhaps may not be familar with
Series Rovers :)  --  One thing about  the electric motor is that it
apparently produces close to 100% of it's torque from start, hence that
feeling.  The owners are supposedly real Rover fanatics and got a number of
Rover companies to sponsor the project, and give them many required
restoration parts for free.  Apparently they built it side by side with
another Rover they restored so they could "get an accurate comparision"
between the electric and gas versions.  Both had stock drivetrains and four
speeds, as well as similar modifications.  I think they had quite a bit of
fun with it, check out some of the truck's additions:
http://store.wilde-evolutions.com/wilde/roverFaceOff.html

Likewise, you can tell they are Rover enthusiasts based on some of the
illustrations.  They chose to highlight all three knobs, even the
illustration of the 88" exaust is correct.  Good work, I think!

Subject: [lro] RR Classic hood bra and a few series parts for sale.
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Going through my parts closet here and found the Bra to my old 1990 RR . Both 
pieces are in great shape minus a couple of the 'clips' to hold it on. It's 
the same one that Atlantic British has for sale at $149.95. I now have a 109 
so that highest offer gets it. I also have Series starter motor, S3/defender 
whipper, just sitting there. All are used in good condition. If anyone is 
interested please let me know off list.
Thanks

Personally, I cannot think why any Land Rover needs a Bra, let along one
that won't do up!

I know that some people anthropomorphize their vehicles, but this is
just too much information!

Reply-To: [email-masked]

OK I now have brakes ! Congratulations to all of you who said the adjusters.
I just did not have the rear brake adjusters tight enough. Tightened them
down more and suddenly I have a 1/2 pedal on the first pump ! I think I can
fine tune them now and get the pedal up a little more. Thanks for the input
everyone !

Cool! You must be talking about Pacciani Land Rover. I stopped in when I
stayed in Badesse/Montereggioni for a week.
Nice guys. Very patient with my absolutely abysmal Italian.
You live in the 222/Chiantistrada area? Are you drunk on good wine nearly
every night? And the cheese...

If you ever make it over to Umbria, there is a garage near the town of
Panacale. I can't remember the name of it, but it's in the "big town" that
services Panacale, on the way to Perugia - the greater Lake Trasimino area.
Right on the main road.
They aren't a dealer, and they only seem to deal with Series trucks and
early Defenders. I'm not sure, becuase I couldn't understand most of what
the owner was saying, but I think he was on the Camel Trophy team for Italy.
One of the farms on the way to Milaggiolo has an early 90 working on it.

By the way, I fear I may have butchered *every* spelling of these towns.
Sorry about that!
