G'day Digger,
I couldn't find the thread you referred to, i'm not part of remlr so if its in the private remlr area that'd be why.
It is definately ex Aus Army, with Mulder's and the broad arrow stamp and it looks exactly like the 88" GS ones in pics on the REMLR site.
The canopy has one L shaped tear which has been patched, and a few small holes, size of a shirt button hole. Thoroughly usable.
Just sent an email to the previous previous owner, hopefully he still has the hood bows, and i'm missing the B pillars, not sure what else.



On another topic, I have a brown elephant hide seat. Ebay pics made it look black and the price was good. Anyone need a brown seat? By no means is it in perfect condition but I hear these seats aren't easy to come by.


No more work on the Landie till after Easter
Cheers,
Mark

Hey Mark!


Great to see a change in avatars.

Yeah that face was giving me nightmares.
Now, if only you pointed it in the right direction!
Obviously the PMC tags make it an aussie LR.

G'day all,
Something wrong with my make-up?
(yeah, the genetic make-up says my sarcastically ironic mother)


Thanks Digger, dunno how I couldn't find your thread. Yours is the same type canopy as I have, though I'll have to get it out again to see if it is exactly the same. I don't recall it having so many markings, just the Mulder branding and one broad arrow. Good job with recording yours's markings/features for reference too!

G'day all,
Today I bought a new water pump from Gary CLR, he advertises a lot on ebay.
Before I install it, should I flush the system with anything non watery?
There is a bit of rust on the block's face of the pump area, and above the thermostat too. I figure a good wash through with water will remove any flaky rust (I let it dry out ), but how about a chemical flush? Drano, washing soda or similar?
Also need to paint the new water pump with some engine enamel.

Cheers,
Mark
PS Thanks Dave for the tips on sealing the timing cavity. Bought a drill press today in case I need to fabricate a newy.

Drano, washing soda or similar

be really careful using strong alkaline solutions on aluminium. won't hurt iron based metals but will stuff aluminium quickly
