Just been keeping things the way they are for a while and repairs.
The Pertonix ignition system is working good and is far more water proof than the previous system.
( I am waiting on a photo of my last outing to post of the 101 doing its thing in a bog hole )
If you have a 12 volt machine , or are using normal high tension leads NGK high tension lead ends/sparkplug covers P/N VBF 8913 black work well to water proof things a bit.
I have blown another rear hub oil seal again and will most likely sort it out this weekend and have a better look at why ?
A broken door opening retaining strap has beeb replaced and I made up a few spares.
The run off road last week over a track I have done before has shown the lockers are just making it so much easier with less strain on the vehicle as no run up is required.....just first low a crawl up with no fuss.
Wish I had money currently as the dollar is good and Peter P found some Hystee springs in the states.
Interestingly from the British 101 site I have read Defender rear Shocks will fit rear of a 101 with mods.
As I have a defender at home I will check this out soon.
I am extremely please with my 101 currently as it is producing the goods off and on road currently and I see little reason to play with the original design any further.
Long term things...........
Spring and shocker up grades.
Tidy up poor wiring by a previous owner.
Roof rack for carrying canoes and roof top tent.
Improve my LP Gas system by fitting a three stage gas convertor.
Wider wheel wheels to allow fitting of modern radial tyres.
