Thread: Time for a Re-fit

Weeks schmeeks.

G'day John,

Really enjoying this thread. I'm hoping to get to work on a 2a very soon. You mention a drain cleaner attachment for high pressure water. Where did you get that?

Also, wondering if you are still happy with the lanox treatment on the leaf springs.

I have to say your bit about sharing the house with multiple LR components gave me a much needed laugh.

Thanks and keep up the great work. Very inspirational.

Hey Garry,

Thanks for the encouragement, mate. I must confess that to me this thread sometimes seems a bit dull compared to all the exciting goings-on elsewhere on AULRO.... I seldom seem to make much progress. Nevertheless, I will finish this project and things will get more interesting as the vehicle really starts to take shape. I have been quietly squirrelling-away all sorts pf bits and pieces for the final assembly and am looking forward to working them into the vehicle while trying to keep the original feel (oh, except for the industrial deafness... happy to lose that bit...).

I just picked up the drain cleaner attachment from the local hardware shop and attached it to my K'archer sprayer. Dead easy and about $60, from memory.

I guess I won't know how the Lanox on the springs will stand up until I have had it back on the road for a while - probably around the time of King William's Golden Jubilee. I am very interested myself to see how this goes (the Lanox, that is, not the jubilee - though I am sure it'll be a terrific celebration and wish them well). I have seen so many contrasting opinions on lubrication vs non-lubrication of leaf springs, and thought I might try the Lanox idea. Stay tuned...

I still seem to have an enormous amount of Land Rover inside. It pretty-much has an entire room to itself and the transmission tunnel is now serving as a hat stand in the lounge.

Cheers,

John

Beautiful, isn't it??

Here's the three-way valve for transferring between the fuel tanks with its nice new fuel lines.

Fuel filter mount and master cylinder reservoir all cleaned up....

Here's something a little bit different. It's a photo which a mate just sent me: it's me with the Landy in 1991.

Hardly aged a day John.
