I've found a series 2 or 2a. The lights are in the grill and the rear tub has hips.
It's a "I've lost interest." project. He got as far as pulling it apart.
Before I buy, is there a what goes where book available?
Can I find a list of what bolts I need to buy. I think he repurposed some bits.
Workshop and parts manual will help, as will this forum. 😊
Most bolts are a pretty standard affair available from a bolt supplier. Some of the mechanicals have specific threads, etc - all of which are available from one place or another.
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
I didn't get any photos. It's just a jumble of parts around a shed. Most of them piled on a rolling chassis under a tarp.
Are parts books still available? Would they tell me a 2" 5/16 UNC goes in that location. Putting on the quantity surveyor hat (please, no Ethel the Aardvark comments), could I use it to create a list so the industrial supplies shop can supply me what I need?
There are parts suppliers in the UK who can sell u a package that has all or most bolts needed for a series land rover. Just a matter of doing an ebay uk search for suppliers. Mostly the bolts are a sort of, if it fits, and its not too long or short, use it. There are some specific bolts but not really that many on the body side of things. Have some fun. Thats what its all about. Enjoying urself and ur Land Rover.
Remember...Land Rover, making mechanics out of ppl since 1948
Parts books are available, most readily from the AULRO Shop on CD (See the bar at the top of this page), but the book gives part numbers, not bolt sizes. You probably need to find somone with a similar model nearby that can be used to look at, otherwise read other build stories here and ask questions.

The original parts catalogues, which come up regularly on e-bay give bolt sizes. This is just a random page.

Note that often it is cheaper to buy a box of 50 from an industrial supplier than a bubble pack of 6 from a hardware retailer.

Normal practice is for bolt length that once bolt is fitted with all washers in place & nut tight the bolt should have at least 2 threads clear of the nut. The sets you can buy from the UK are usually pretty good & priced well also. I bought some for my MGBGT when restoring it & there were more than enough bolts for the job. I should have done the same with my 80" as bolt lengths & sizes in BSF are very limited in AU & had to go to 3 bolt suppliers & then had to buy longer than I needed & cut them down.
As an apprentice fitter-machinist in the 1950's I was taught that three threads through was the requirement.
BSF are hard to find in many sizes. Very little demand so normal commercial fastener shops don't stock them. There are specialist hobbyist suppliers who have a good range. B.S.F Bolts (Bruce Gardner) in Melbourne and Classic Fasteners in Adelaide come to mind. Probably cheaper to source them from o'seas in kit form. Likewise BSC (Cycle Thread). Most bolt shop workers were not born when BSF and BSC were in common use.
