    Assembled the overdrive in its modified housing this weekend. I managed to source all the bearings and seals from here and there and gave it a bit of a spruce-up.

    I'll post a thread one day when I have it running to follow the progress, or otherwise, of the mods.

    Meantime, here are some photos. Note state-of-the-art facilities utilising digital photography and laptop computers to rebuild a vehicle bristling with the latest in 1940s technology......

    That BS-381C-224 really looks great in the light and out of the shed John.

    And what a shock to see that it can MOVE! I was starting to think the tyres might have bonded to the concrete slab somehow there!

    Yes, I get quite excited when it rolls twenty feet across the back yard. It feels like quite an expedition. Sometimes I pack sandwiches.

    Installed both fuel tanks this weekend, the lift pump and some of the new fuel lines. It doesn't sound like much progress, but like a lot of things it took longer than the it might have. The two tanks are new to the vehicle, so of course the mounting holes were different etc etc etc. The aftermarket tank which I have put on the left, though the same in overall dimension as a factory item, has a few differences which meant that it took a little fiddling to get it mounted correctly and not rubbing against any bodywork or, more importantly, the head of the spring hanger bolt. I have also bushed the mounts at each end of each tank with rubber strips.

    The fuel tanks are 16 gallons each.

    Oh, and I also painted the engine fan, pulley and a few other bits and pieces.

    No photos for now, sorry.

    Cheers,

    John

    If this rain keeps up you might need those fuel tanks for some buoyancy to float to work on Monday John.

    Yes, we needed a shower today, didn't we? At least it keeps the drought index down.....

    Hi
    Where did you get the tanks from? I am looking for some for mine at the moment.
    Cheers, Martin
    (You probably don't remember but I met you and Wally at the Shell at Nudgee last year. We were in the TDi)

    G'day!

    Yeah, I certainly do remember you. We were ogling your nice 110 sitting there at the fuel bowsers.

    I picked up one of the tanks from another member of this forum a few years ago, and the other from a local fellow who has lots of Landy bits lying around.

    Though the long range tanks are not particularly common, they are not particularly hard to find, either.

    Now, how's that nice 110 going?

    John
