Absolutely:) I just didn't want to spoil the mystery to soon that's all:)
I have a lot of pics here. Just have to sort them out a bit so are relevant.
As I come and go today we'll see what happens:)

Holden type clutches are a nightmare, however you can fix it! :)

Get a "Borg and Beck" pressure plate from a TE20 Ferguson tractor or Vangard Velox also get a Land Rover OEM "Borg and Beck" pressure plate for a series Landy. Have the internals from the Landy pressure plate installed and set-up into the TE20 housing. The TE20 housing bolts directly to the OEM Holden flywheel and then you will have a Holden engine with the clutch "feel" of the standard Land Rover. :BigThumb:

We'll see how this goes... I've used paint to put images together otherwise over time the pics will get very resource hungry:eek:

If this works OK I will continue to do so:)

Edit... Looks OK to me. I'll put some together of the interior, Structural problems and other smaller details soon.

Why not write to Mal Leyland and ask him?

Far better than writing to Mike Leyland, who recently hasn't been replying to any letters, emails or phone calls. (Vale: Mike Leyland 1941-2009)

I have the book Discovering Australia, by the Leyland Brothers with some pictures. I don't have a scanner but will try to get access to one.

I remember at primary school the library had Off The Beaten Track, Further Off the Beaten Track and Leyland Brothers' Australia , these were longer versions of the same with lots more pictures of the Land Rovers used in the Off the Beaten Track TV series. I used to borrow these a lot:D. They also had books of the Trekabout series, when they used lesser vehicles, I didn't borrow these as much:unsure:. I remember Mike and Mal came to the school once with a film called Kerry's Animal Roundup, so maybe they donated the books to the school library then.

Glad to see you got her home alright RR. Looking forward to the progress.

I'd be so tempted to get some wet-n-dry onto those doors to see if the LB logo is still there.

Had any luck tracking that episode down ?
