I'll endorse Mark's comments about Mick in Cooma, I bought a set off him and am more than satisfied. See www.greenacre.biz for details of my tyre saga.

Sweet and thx for the help both longingforalandy and peterg1001 and let me apologise for changing the topic to me.
Wish I was over east though, doesn't appear to be anything in WA in the way of tyres or army auctions.
Sent an e-mail to a land rover wrecker and he said they had no wheels at all ;)
Search for seller mandt42 on ebay, Mick hasn't got anything there at the moment but he puts tyres on regularly. You can try emailing him at michaeltinnock@dodo.com.au, but he isn't real good with emails.

Little update:
Today I visited Gordon/GS1967 and bought some servicable door bottoms from him. Thanks mate, I enjoyed looking at your collection of old automotive technology, I never realised timber drawbars existed till I saw yours! :p
I bought a crank handle on Wednesday, and haven't used the starter motor since. Hand cranking is almost fun! Guess the novelty will wear off quickly:)
Gordon gave me a second crank handle too as his Landy has a Holden engine. I painted the first handle in shiny black, so now I have a show handle and a useful handle :p
This arvo my Dad helped me bleed the brakes, so now I have a good, firm pedal :D The bled fluid was filthy, probably should have been flushed completely as there was a little grit from one slave. Too bad, it's done now.
The clutch was an easy one-man job, so I knocked that over too.
Such beautiful weather, it's a shame not to be out in it working on Landies, sadly tomorrow I have uni work to do :(
The list of to-do's gets ever shorter as my wallet gets ever emptier ;)
Cheers,
Mark
Mark, where did you buy the crank handle??...I'm after one as well....Quote:

Or if you feel like a sedate drive in the country, you can try Land Vehicle Spares.
Almost. They are currently used on LRPVs and SRVs. The majority of the fleet run Olympic Steeltreks. ;)Quote:

Like my bling wheels? Michelin XZAs on 110 rims for daily driving, bought via the markets from a forum member. AULRO = awesomeness.
Whilst having fun, the hand brake broke! Well, a pin in the linkage fell out, the fork being bent and split pin missing so it hadn't been assembled properly anyway, but correctly reassembled now :)
Those pics show my new/old door bottoms, care of yet another forum member (GS1967).
Current serious efforts is towards sorting out the wiring for the rear lights, two colours of wire, green and black. For everything. :no2: Grrrr.

Woohoo...thanks mate...:BigThumb:Quote:
