Thread: 1955 Series 1 86"

It most certainly is different as John has said, but from images posted I'm reasonably certain that his Series 1 Land Rover has a S2/2A box, ? I did ask him to take an image of the G/box bell housing looking forward from the gear lever so we can ascertain whether or not he has a 4cyl or 6cyl bell housing but so far no response, cheers Dennis

Hi Dennis

Please see below photos of the gearbox. Thanks

Another photo. Sorry cannot put more than 1 photo at the same time from iphone.

Anyone can tell me where to buy LR green colour paint in mlebourne or western suburb or melbourne and what is the right code? Thanks

From memory mate the bell housing appears to be a 6 cyl type which has the same stud pattern as the Series 1 engine, the S2/2A/ 4 cyl bell housings have a stud hole @ the 12 o'clock position see my image

bell housing are able to be swapped around, you just have to be careful that you get one with the same layshaft front bearing size, and I'm sure if I've forgotten something or have given the incorrect info, some-one will chime in cheers Dennis
ps the bell housing on your G/box is not a Series 1 type, as the starter motor hole is a much larger/flatter type hole, if that makes sense,,.

This is paint code for deep bronze green
Cheers

Is it worth it? Anyone have used this one before?
Will it do the job to remove the surface rust on the bulkhead and other parts of the Series 1?
