The bizarre thing is, a mate helping me has a S2 named Albert. His Grandfather was Albert Ernest and mine was Ernest Albert. Neither of us knew that until I named Ernie on the way back from collecting him.Quote:

(quite restorable and for sale if anyone wants them)
I got the stainless version but I thought they were a bit shiny for a Land Rover so I hit them up with the sand blaster and some clear coat. Better now, in my opinion anyway...

If i knew how to post vid you could see them working. Funny to watch, one is faster than the other so they go out of sync pretty quick.
overall they’re ok, they self-park most of the time but not always...
Looks good. I bought the black ones, you know the saying, once you've had black etc etc.Quote:

I video'd mine too, but buggered if I can figure out how to post it. Keeps telling me file invalid on the upload.
Ended up stripping the roof this afternoon. There was old style house putty filling the gutter rail. Now to re-seal it and try and level out all the valleys and mountains in the roofhttps://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...5caaa415c4.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...4eb7da760e.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...416cd2ba7a.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...51c800bfa9.jpg
Found this stuff today. Polyurethane
Sealant from Holts auto paints. Stick like **** to a blanket, flexible and paintable. $20 a tube. Used about 3/4 of it.

Ya think I got it all, Not a chance!. I sanded it all back last night, but it's still all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast. This'll take a while to sort.
You gunna leave that hole there?.
Yep, got an old/ new aerial on a spring, retro 70’s to put in there so I can listen to the radio when I’m out.Quote:

one question, can I pull the side of the steering box off without it springing apart? I vaguely remember someone saying its under load behind the side plate. I put some EP90 in it and now it’s leaking through the side gasket. https://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...355ba0166b.jpghttps://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...2abbd4a4fe.jpg
I would think you could the adjusting screw just pushes up against the Rocker Shaft & there is no spring loading. If you are not sure you could just back the adjuster off a little , just remember how far you backed it off so you can put it back in the same place. If you use a thicker or thinner gasket you will need to readjust the end float anyway.
