    The roof I was offered had a few extra holes drilled in it and some dents. Wallit's is better but it there are a lot of loose rivets....

    Still on the lookout for a replacement roof or I need to get a rivet clincher but re-riveting the roof to the gutter looks like a big job !

    Took Wallit to the Trash & Treasure market this morning then on to visit the the Father-in Law in hospital. Unfortunately he's in palliative care and doesn't have long left, it only seems like yesterday he was my co-driver when we took the Series I to Cooma (2008) . Doesn't time fly !

    I noticed some new noises from the rear which sounded like it was something in the rear tub.
    Moved the wheel brace around and the noise continued. When I got home I found that the spare wheel had worked loose and was rattling on the fixing bolt. Wingnut tightened and hopefully the problem has gone, just numerous other rattles to track down now.

    Still starts, runs & stops OK and keeps it's cool in the heat. A bit sluggish uphill when cold but once warmed up it keeps up with the flow
    I've been offered another roof so need to make time to check it out then paint the bonnet.

    Usual trip to the Trash & Treasure today.
    Noticed that the window channels have lost colour and are starting to rust. Wallit is stored outside so the modern stuff isn't that weather resistant !

    Then saw a wet patch in the drivers footwell.....clutch master cylinder leaking !

    There is always something to do on a Land Rover.

    Picked up one of these at the market. needs a repair and I have to find a round belt (ideally leather).

    Depending on the length you require, it shouldn't be too hard. you could always get two and put another join in.

    Thanks Don,
    Ordered a belt soon after I got home from the market but I did read that the standard sewing machine leather belt might not be the correct size.

    Also found info on blades and they are also on order from Ebay.

    Too this week off work and decided to sort out the leaking clutch master cylinder.

    The master cylinder was a pattern one, I'd taken it apart, cleaned it and re-assembled using red rubber grease.
    I found a secondhand Girling one with a good piston & bore and re-sealed it.

    Removed the pedal box, stripped it down and fixed up the paint (I think I'd painted this before I'd found a brake fluid resistant paint). Made a new seal from insertion rubber and re-fitted everything.

    Topped up the gearbox & transfer case oil while I was underneath bleeding the clutch.

    Must take it for a run to get provisions, can't just go for a joyride at the moment...

    Wallit's going Troppo

    I've been looking for a replacement roof for Wallit for quite some time.

    I got a roof some years back with some minor damage (and I had to peel old marine carpet out of the inside). The idea was to temporarily replace mine so I could repair the one currently fitted.
    Further investigation showed mine to have lots of loose and some broken rivets so really it was a gutter off job, lots of rivets and possibly the need for a special squeezer.

    Most I've been offered have been too far gone or too expensive but today I collected a SWB Tropical roof !!

    It needs a clean up and re-paint plus there are a few small holes I'd really like to get welded up (need someone who can TIG aluminium) but overall not bad condition.
    The outer skin is mostly held on with steel rivets into the roof ribs, the outside edge uses bolts & plastic spacers. It needs to be removed so I'll turn up some plastic or aluminium spacers & fit new bolts in the process. Knowing the rate I work at it will be a while before it's finished !!

    I now need to 'move on' the roof with some damage and also some side panels

    Had a good look at the roof over the weekend.
    A fair bit of mastic in the gutters, when removed I found that it needs pulling apart & re-riveting. Roof panel can move on the gutter section in a few spots and some rivets are loose......bugger.

    Back on the hunt for a low cost squeezer, found a few companies in the US.
    Rivets from Semi Tubular Rivets

    Looks like an interesting job, applying sealant then fitting & squeezing 139 semi-tubular rivets before the sealant goes off !

    This roof is rapidly heading for the 'back-burner'.

    Can I suggest that to overcome the sealer going off, you need a few clamps, with just enough rivets to keep the holes lined up, and put the rest of the rivets in at your liesure.
