Yeah found one locally I'll give them a call and see what the damage is and weigh up between new or having the car off the road for a few days to get the original coated and machined

Bugger.
One of the tilt tray drivers in the Territory I rode shotgun with said he called his tilt tray a 'Disco recovery vehicle'.
I saw him the next day going the other way with another D2 on it's back after he dragged me back to Erldunda.
Surprisingly he couldn't recall ever picking up a Deefer.
Go figure ?
BTW I haven't got to the cooler hoses yet, and Strangy warned me about them when he found out I was picking up the D2.
It has to go to the smash repairs first. First car in twenty years I've had a bingle in.
At least I'll get a proper bull bar on it now instead of the OE tubular nudge bar with wings.
Old mate was chatting to me.
'So we're abouts in blahblahblah am I taking you? Haven't I towed this car before'
'No, that would be the blue one. Same problem. Same place it happened. I bought this one about 3 weeks ago.'
'..........and you're still driving them?'

I have so many photos like this [emoji23]
Mine has been on three flat beds, but I couldn't bring myself to keep taking pics.
I prefer to remember it this way:

Only just got it. SWMBO got out, as she thought it was too deep! [bigrolf]
I feel your pain mate,
But this i dont get i have owned many a rover from series to classsic`s to Deefer`s , a D1 and now a D2 for the last 4 years and not one of my cars ever have been on a tilt tray and i mean 2wd`s ive owned aswell. Now SWMBO Tarago has had four trips on a tilter in 3 years[bigrolf]
Maybe it is the theory i live by carring a good range of tools some hose and cable ties and some hose clamps assorted nuts and bolts as i have never failed to make it home from anywhere .
No im not bragging or having a dig at anyone but always give it a go , Hell a old holden i owned once i even changed a timing gear in the middle of nowhere on the side of the road [bighmmm] I might have hitched a ride to get said parts but i got home[wink11]
