    As Dinty says. It would have been fitted with a single wiper on the bottom edge of the windscreen frame (but you will probably need to fit two for registration!). I think the windscreen frame has been replaced at some time by one out of a later 2a which had cable operated wipers.

    Should be fairly easy to find a frame with the holes for the wipers. Finding working or repairable 'correct' wiper motors may not be as easy.

    Thanks Dennis, that's about what I was thinking as well. If he didn't need a drivers side window he certainly didn't need no darn windscreen wipers...
    BTW, The drivers window was removed so he could get the rifle out quicker. There were 4 driver side window uppers in his shed, all from series 1 though.

    SLOW

    Hello from Cape Town - usually Brisbane.

    Not one to let an opportunity go begging.

    Welcome to the world of leaf sprung Land Rovers. You might be interested in joining a few fellow owners through SLOW - Series Landy Owners Inc - which has a strong membership around SEQ and beyond. The club details and sub-site are towards the end of the AULRO site just after the GCLRO sub-site.

    Cheers,

    Neil

    Welcome, that looks like good project.
    And to push our barrow, there are many series owners in the Gold Coast Land Rover Owners Club, some are also members of SLOW.

    He Lives!!

    Some big events at my place last weekend.
    After tinkering around a bit, changing a tyre and buying a new battery, Barney fired up
    It doesn't have a clutch or BRAKES , but it's pretty flat around here so after jury rigging a clutch with a pair of ViseGrips and a length of pipe, we set of for a jaunty circuit of the yard... push on lever with the right hand, select a gear with the left. High tech stuff.
    Of course I wore my top hat and the wife put on her very best Queen Elizabeth head scarf for the occasion.
    Chuffed as...



    P.S. Where do I go to get an engine rebuild kit from for a 2 lt petrol?




    Cheers,

    Pull the engine down first so that you can work out what you need.

    Thanks Mick & Jim, I will do both of those things.

    I think the first thing I will do is get the brakes and clutch working in the truck as is, that way I can use it around the property while I rebuild the engine.

    Peter.
