Just to complicate things it looks like your crank handle has been extended.

Colin,

Thanks for taking the trouble to get those photos for me.

Yes, I was looking at the crank handle earlier this morning and started to wonder if it had been modified. It certainly won’t fit in the clips if they are reattached to the panel in their original position.

To be honest I bought the truck about 12 years ago and have never driven it beyond from the street to my workshop early on. So, I can’t actually remember whether or not it was on the bulkhead or just lying behind the seats. Very likely the latter.

Cheers,

Neil

I recall that handles were extended/shortened (?) to suit the old Ra Ro V8 engine.
Also deffo shortened to suit a Series vehicle fitted with a LR Capstan winch , My own. The Ra Ro actual shaft was quite long & different to a Series vehicle with a 21/4 donk. Cut & shut was the order of the day then.
