FYI Everyone - 

There's only an inch or two on the ground in Vail and Beaver Creek.  I work 
on Beaver Creek and they are making snow but it's not cold enough to make it 
stay.  Tentative date to open is tomorrow the 21st.  I think that's a shot in 
the dark.  By my guess they may open a run or two in a week.

Reused the old ones...which weren't actually very old.  Washed 'em in
dishwashing detergent and lubed 'em up with Girling rubber grease.  They
still look OK to this day.  You *don't* want to use 'brake cleaner' or
other solvents on these bits.  Other than getting the shoes relined a
couple of years ago (and getting ripped off by the same jobber - who closed
his shop two weeks later - guess he was padding his 'retirement' account),
I haven't touched the brakes in eight years.  Silicone is the way to go....

IIB or not IIb - that is the question.

Whether it is nobler in the mind to consider the beast

To drive, to stop no more, and by driving we mean to

To drive, perchance to off-road - ah, there's the rub!

 Brilliant!!! But a 1110? I know you are expansive in thought and deed but
just think of the turning circle, nevermind the breakover angle.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

I have just looked in 100+ vehicles at a scrapyard looking for a suitable seat
for my series IIa. The ideal one is a rear bench from a Ford Aerostar.  It is
three abreast.  Available in gret blue and tan for $100.  The last row, not the
middle.  It has fabric right over the back.  With the legs removed it sits right
in there at the right angle. It has the middle belt attached.  It looks as if it
were made for it.  Now I know why Ford bought Land Rover!!!!!!
I do not have lockers under my seats, so I do not need to get in there.  I have
fuel tanks.  If you have things under your seats, it might not be practical.
Just thought that you might like to know.

I think that will probably be a good price Simon.
I have been checking all the Scout parts places for a new/rebuilt unit and
finding prices 2-3 times that much.  No joy in hooville trying to find a
used one.

Mark,
Is the seat back/base angle adjustable?  Does it raise the drivers

Heck, I don't know why I'm asking.  I have a cubby in the center-seat

Not adjustable, but exactly the same as the angle of the land rover seat
area. Locks up and locks down.  Looks great.

Reply-To: [email-masked]

Wisdom of the list requested.

Does anyone have recommendations regarding the purchase of sheet
aluminium (i.e. pricing, what alloys would be best used to replace the
standard Birmabright, etc)?  I need to completely replace Smudger's
bed floor, as the current one is a mass of dents, pocks, and holes. Calling
a local retailer I was given a price of $188, delivered, <argh!> for a 4x8'
sheet of  alloy designated as #5052, which the salesdroid said was often
used for truck bodies.  Some of the price is based on delivery vs. weight
--if I wanted 3 whole sheets it would drop to $110/sheet--but I could build
a new car or two with that much metal.

What's also interesting is that I've found two different composition 
listings
for Birmabright on the 'Net.  One says "ally plus 17% magnesium and a few
trace elements" and the other claims "92% ally, 7% Moly, 1 % Manganese."
Which is correct?

As for 5052 Aluminium, here are the specs:

Ideas appreciated.

I went by the hardware store the other day after Peter Hope posted about his
raingutter leak.  I have a similar leak and was looking for the Geocell
Proflex product mentioned here.  I didn't find it but did see a caulk tube
of a 3M  Marine Sealant/Adhesive touted as useable above and below the water
line for sealing cracks, etc.  Don't have the product number.  Can Marin or
someone else with experience with this stuff let me know if it is good and
if so, suitable for sealing my rain gutters?  Also, didn't see a reference

Depending on how much of a Cheap Bastard you are, go looking for an old 
road sign. Preferably retired :) My local metal yard will sell their scrap 
by weight, so I just wander around until I find something that looks cool.

I used a tube of that stuff as the sealant around the pedal towers and the
heater box when I rebuilt my bulkhead.  Stuff is like liquid nails after it
drys.  It is DEFINATELY and adhesive.  It was paintable with rustoleum epoxy
refridgorator paint and hammerite smooth coat.

I found the geoflex stuff at

Plus tons of other hardware stuff

Simon,
     It's called 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant, any marine store should 
carry it. It can be used for bonding fiberglass to fiberglass and wood to 
fiberglass and metals I believe. I've used it to hold the rub rail on a day 
sailor, and a block on another boat, not sure about painting though. As a gap 
filler, it should be fine. 
     One side note, once it cures it's there for good. Extremely tight bond, 
some boat manufactures actually use it to hold their outer hull to the inner 
deck. They isn't a diluting agent for it either, once it cures. (horrible 
story about that from a rep. once)
hope this helps

Was thinking of doing something like this as an alternative -- as long 
as I can
find something that's 3 x 4' or larger I'm all set, but as I'm new to 
the area
where I'm now living I need to explore all the sources.  And I don't have a
convenient buddy in the local DPW (yet).

Hey Bill!
    Bet you didn't ask about the core charge.  About $300.00.  I found one in
a junkyard for $120.00.  I've not used it since I bought the 110 and put the
"make one good NADA out of two" project on hold.

I figure that's about the going rate. I got one for a hundred bucks canadian
up here. If anyone is interested I can recommend a few sources in Ontario...

You looking to put power steering in Bill? I'm sure you could get a used
box in Grant.
