Where do I get parts

Wow guys I never expected so many responses so quickly, I really appreciate the time and effort each of you has contributed.

I will definitely check out the sites that you mentioned for the parts and in relation to the hubs i'll use the old adage if it ain't broken don't fix it, it runs great now so i'll leave them and it'll save me money as well.

As to the chasis number I got this off the plate in my vehicle but my old man works for the dept of transport in WA and he did mention that the army may have grabed a whole lot of plates and just fitted them to the vehicles and mine didn't actually match the number on the chasis.

This is what I have but if i find that it is different i'll let you know

Truck Command Recon
Chassis 143900525
Contract no C104337
Date 16-12-58

Thanks again, and now i'll try and serach for the chasis number :)

Oh and in relation to the tierod ends mine is fitted with the shouldered ones, I found this out sliding under the car trying to find the chassis number :)

Chassis number should be on left hand rear spring hanger i'm pertty sure
Lovely looking Com\Recon!
Cheers,
Mark

Yes. Should be on the flat bit facing out above the pivot of the shackle at the rear of the LH rear spring. It is likely to need cleaning up and removing a lot of paint layers before you can read it!

OK got it

Chassis number is different - 143900471

That is the number exactly where you guys and my old man said it would be.

Type: Land Rover43Model: Land Rover, Series II
Body type: Basic
Wheel base: 88in (Short Wheel Base, SWB )
Engine: Petrol
Destination: Right-hand drive (RHD), completely knocked down (CKD)9Model year: 195900471Serial number

Oh and thanks for all the positive comments.

My old man had this car from before I was born and him and his brother used it every now and then to go fishing.

It was laways promised to me as a child but I never thought I would really end up with it.

Now that I have it I love it to death and I see them more and more on the streets, good on you guys for keeping them running :)

MATPOLI,

Nice fleet mate!

check out the info on REMLR, and reference pictures.. Ref pics index -www.remlr.com

the CRs were the first lot of landys the army bought en masse!

you need to fill in this form, it will register you with REMLR (its free!)

Think hard before you make too many changes, a reasonably original

Mate, pop over to here The Notice Board -REMLR (REMLR FORUM)
and look up PHEONIX (the heartbeat of REMLR) and send it off...

(Cool huh!)

cheers...
digger..

(about names... check out the thread by SHONKY on "AMBROSE" the
way he got the name was great...and I see potential for you naming your
'beastie' the same sort of way!)

have a good one
