New Project...

Hi All,

Well - I removed the Alternator, primarily so that I could clean the engine. While I was at it - I might as well clean it up a bit, and the brackets for it..

Brackets - Before:

Brackets (and also the Passenger Side Engine Bracket) - After:

And the cleaned Alternator - it's not perfect, but it is a lot better than it was:

I also removed the Hand Throttle. Before:

Hand Throttle components - After:

And continue working on cleaning the chassis and engine...

Get in line you lot!:D. He lives closer to me...:D

Oooh. A hand throttle. Were they an option? Or is my 69 2a petrol missing something cool?

Luvin' your work by the way, but it is making me feel completely inadequate :D

Hand throttles were optional, but not a real lot of use I have found. Alright for warming up and setting a fast idle when the carby is iced up after a long run :p

On my series one i used the hand throttle abit when i was on flat surfaces where for long time such as a road i would lower the hand throttle when going 4x4 i would raise it a little and yes to warm it up it is good. Wouldnt they use the hand throttle when running a pto?
About half of my land rovers have/had hand throttles.

Yeah the hand throttle is meant for use with a PTO, but so few people run anything bar a winch from their PTO that it is all bar redundant. It isn't particularly safe using it as cruise control!

Mt Isa to Longreach to Emerald is a bit of road it is handy to have a handthrottle for...........................:D
