In between showers of rain (curses++) I have been slowly progressing with this small but very important part

part of the Poodle Patrol have given me the thumbs up LOL, note 'Digger's' sleeper Max (the sheltie) he is keeping a close watch on proceedings,
I suspect he is somehow in contact with 'Digger' LOL

I have checked it electrically and it works, but not until after some judicious cleaning of the contacts, anyway cheers Dennis
ps Thanks 'Crackers' for offering to take that poor workmanship off my hands, just send me your address LOL,,.

Down in the depths of the shed, I dared to climb a ladder to the loft, get this box down and look into it
http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...psrgn9vchh.jpg
I was looking in particular for a Lucas L639 body + the chrome fixing ring
http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/u...psc9h5ekmq.jpg
of which I had quite a few, so I cleaned a few of them with Brasso and selected the better one.
Prior to climbing the ladder I found my favourite 6" ruler that has been missing for almost 3 years, I did find 3 L639 bodies ( I used the ruler to scrape paint to check the ID)

but I need to be able to buy a rubber boot/body for the light as the ones I have are U/S.
While up in the loft I re-acquainted myself with the contents of these boxes

then had a sticky beak into this box as well, all new bits for the 110

also up there was a NOS MX6707 complete anyway I will keep looking for a supplier of the rubber boot/body, cheers Dennis

Hi Dinty, Seeing Diggers sheltie reminded me of my sisters one back in NZ when we were kids. He used to love going shooting. I had a rabbit sniping spot on the neighbours farm about 600mtrs from our house, if he saw me taking the 22 out of the cupboard he would beat me to that spot every time. He used to carry the rabbit legs back home that Id cut off, wouldnt eat them untill we were home. He also used to hide in the passengers footwell of the land rover while I was packing for weekend hunting trips and would emerge when I stopped at the first traffic intersection in town with a big smile on his face. Cheers Steve

Hi Dennis, looking great as always mate. Did you have to remove the center horn button? Mine is broken (on the 80") and I'm unsure how to remove it without inflicting more damage but do want to undertake a epoxy repair to it.....any suggestions?
cheers, matt

The steering wheel cover arrived from the UK my good wife has stitched it up for me, now it needs to be fitted, Matt I didn't dismantle this Land Rover but there is a type of clamp at the base of the steering box which acts as a clamp, the tube cannot be removed until you have removed it, hope that's of some help, cheers Dennis
ps I forgot to add that my new canvas top is on it's way from Victoria, should arrive sometime next week,,.

That's a nice wheel cover, should be really good in your hands.

My wife is a quilter but I can't get her to sow a button on my shirt , I would have no chance getting her to sow on a steering wheel cover. Nice job Dennis.
