Seems to have a bit of room now all cleaned, surprised what gets in between the two over 50 yrs.
Guess even a couple of wrap, up and down, of insulation tape, may help.
Thanks

I pulled one out that a very, very, fussy previous owner had wrapped in Denso Tape many years ago and it just lifted out like the day it was installed.

A quick question,
what are the 3 square plated 3/8 UNF holes, under the rear cross member used to fix ????
Thanks.

Rarely used to fix anything. They are fitted to enable the attachment of a toolbar for towing agricultural machinery, rarely used except in conjunction with a rear PTO.

I have seen them fitted to less than 1% of Series Landrovers after the 80" (they were pretty much standard on the 80", in fact, I think early ones were welded on), and they were probably used on less than 1% of the ones that had the toolbar fitted.

The toolbar was a flat steel bar extending most of the lowest part of the crossmember, and projecting back about two inches. It had a row of holes (5/8"?) about three inches apart, to enable various towed implements to be offset as required relative to the Landover's centreline.
