Easy for some Will fire him off an email this evening and see what wares he has on offer.

I phone AJ and over the years we have gotten to trust each other .
I ask for for the parts.
He freights the parts.
I then send a cheque.
He has new wheel cylinders and brake shoes ( same as long wheel base series 3 landys).
He has kits for the master cylinder (see my thread on this )
Alot of 101 parts will match up with later series 3 or early range rover.

Spoke to AJ for the first time last week, very pleasant, and organised. Will be talking to him again. Signed onto the 101 UK forum hunting down the for sale advert for my old 101, which was still live, got a reply, then the Administrators locked the post! Asked where it had gone and got a curt reply saying it was an old thread and so it's been locked! Uhhh? So, yeah, I hear ya re the club. Not the first time I've heard this either!! Anyhow, here I am glued to another 101 thread!! The 'Swap' advert went into the correct section an hour ago!!! Stuee, great thread, looking forward to seeing it complete!!!

I have been able in the past to supply the hard to get dash board globes in 24 volt etc though my parts suppliers for forklifts via a import from Europe.
The problem was it was very, very expensive to do this just for a few globes.
If you get stuck talk to me.

Thanks Ron. I've already received some of the replacement fittings from the dingocroft mob. I need to check they all fit properly, only tried one of the three types of fittings I purchased so far. Ill post up how they go over the weekend, but the quality seems good. Along with the LED's I sourced from RS shown in previous posts all the dash illumination is now sorted. I want to start hooking wires up this weekend

If anyone's interested the three part numbers I ordered are:
ZZAS614
ZZAS615
ZZAS612

Anyone able to help me with one of the earth lead locations? I've re-made the earth lead that goes between the chassis and battery but as a modified outrigger was welded on I have nfi where the original attached too. The workshop manual gives a rough idea but I'd like to see where the original goes if anyone has any pictures handy.

New earth lead:



Its 2B&S cable and should be a bit nicer to use than the old one which is quite heavily corroded and frayed. Just need to source some new p-clamps now.

Mine is bolted to the body - top left of the panel behind the passenger seat.

So does your not bolt to the chassis outrigger below the battery box?

edit*


I just ripped this from the workshop manual. I cant tell where abouts on the outrigger it mounts or how its secured up to the battery box. I figure I wont be on the wheel arch side of the outrigger because that would expose it to damage from gravel rash, but then the entry to the battery box is at the top of the wheel arch . I'm assuming it runs on the inside of the outrigger and up, but not sure how its retained, perhaps through the galv rail then out?
