Thread: The Ultimate FC

I am working from a tablet which is a new thing for me and I have not figured out how to transfer pics from photo bucket to Aulro using it.
The kids killed the old computer.
What I did find in the cabin of the Stalwart was a Raider wrapper from
Mars chocolate company Holland with German writing.
The expirery date is early 1983 .
I did some google home work.
RAIDER chocolate bars were only sold in some EU countries between 1979 and 1990 and not in the UK under that brand name.
After 1990 and in all other countries including Australia its called Twix.
This Stalwart has been to Germany doing its bit for the cold war.
I have been told that a lot of Stalwarts were just stored in Germany in the open.
This fits with this Stalwart...........extremely low miles and Rust in the upper body work.

Hey Ron you coming up to camden park next week end

I didn't know it was on.
I will be in Sydney on Saterday for another reason not too far away.

Any idea of what's going to turn up.
Ron

Stuart, saracen, saladin a striker and a couple of ferrets

I forgot to add in my up date that I drained the fuel tank.
The gauge always showed near empty so I would throw in a jerrycan every time before I used the vehicle thinking it was low.
I drained over 300 litres of half stale fuel.
I was looking for a strainer on the pick up pipe.
I found none ,only the bare pipe directly above the drain plug.
Just a bit of water found and the inside of the tank was perfect.
The. QLD Stalwart owner tells me his Stalwart has a strainer fitted to his at that location.
Mine never appears to be fitted with one since new ??????
The QLD Stalwart is a 1967 model and mine a 1969 and it may account for the difference.
The good news is the 101 Land rover of mine is OK with a bit of stale fuel.
The false fuel gauge readings was another reason I was checking out the wiring.

I need to get back to checking out and painting the LHS suspension and wheel stations .
It looks like I have a bit of time tomorrow to work on the big beast of a thing.......I might take it for a run and blow out the cob webs before I disable the thing again for a while.

Heater back in.

Radio power supply box with the extra wiring and the power voltage reducer.
The only problem is that radio power supply box is not getting power........the vehicles fuses check out OK so I will all have to find out where and why it has been disconnected..........wiring diagram job that one.

The below is for a small fridge to be placed in that spot (RHS rear of the cabin) and for running GPS/depth sounder/odds and sods.
Could run a small front amber rotary safety light from it though the roof hatch too.
