Thread: My SIIa 109 ex2.6 tinkerings

Hi Harry, thanks for checking out my thread.

The plan was just to get it up and runnig while I do a ground up resto on my WB but I keep finding myself working on the Landy and not my WB.

I have entered shows with 100+ utes and the effort that some put in is amazing and the dummy spits when they don't win are also pretty good to watch

If you are looking for the brake lights they are a Wipac light, the number n the lens is s170 and I think the LR part number for the assembly is 541522. There are THESE reproductions on e-bay and Four Wheel Drives have them in their catalog also.

4-Wheel Drives list the rear lights as above but last time I checked they didn't stock them.

Thanks for the info on the taillights.



sneaks off to eBay for some retail therapy

Good luck with your search Harry.

I started my engine swap this morning and all has gone fairly well, no siezed bolts and no skinned knuckles but then I pulled the clutch off the old engine.....

First there was no spigot bush in the end of the crankshaft and then once I got the pressure plate off the flywheel I found this



and





So much for it being replaced shortly before being put in 'storage'.

So I need some help, first off is the pressure plate a Land Rover or Holden item? it is 9 1/2 in diameter. Also I need somewhere to get the flywheel machined, somewhere in Mt Barker would be good.

My other question is, can the pressure plate be skimmed or will I have to replace it also. There is no cracking in the flywheel or pressure plate just the wear that can be seen in the pictures

Got my flywheel machined (1hr turnaround )and picked up a new clutch and also some new engine mounts during the week.

So after spending a couple of hours at work I came home and started the re-assembly.

Still had a couple of bits to put on the engine before re-fitting , filled the oil pump with Motor Honey to make sure it primes and fitted the flywheel and clutch.


Looks good considering that is the factory paint.

All went fairly well as I had an old input shaft for aligning the clutch. Was hoping to get it started today but had a few PO bodges and other little bits to fix.

All went fairly smoothly yesterday, got the radiator in, connected everything up, filled engine with water and oil and crossed my fingers and turned the key....

I was very relieved when it fired straight up and didn't make any strange noises, ran in the cam and set about fitting the front and floor back in so I could take it for a much awaited test drive.

It definately feels stronger, I guess thats a combination of the bigger capacity and being fresher. The car defiantely needs work, at this stage I am thinking of fitting either a weber or a 2-barrel stromberg.
