Interesting that 12 rivets are listed, I counted 10 on a Series III so I'll just go and check a Series I & II.

This part is available from P.A. Blanchard in the UK, part No 300824, cost is 8 pound 95 pence which is at today's exchange rate of $15.08 + postage, it will be correct in every detail, length & colour, I also imagine they would have the rivets as well, cheers Dennis:angel:
ps I have bought several of them (300824) over the past few years,,.
You are right. I did not spot that. I asked and they confirmed so are giving me a refund as not posted yet.:)Quote:

I need to check the rivet dimensions & the holes in a couple of different radiator panels.
I couldn't get onto Blanchard's website but found them via Ebay. Looks like the same strip I've located.

I have some prices but need to confirm the freight, the email reply I got didn't cover exactly what I asked for....
The tape is 'bitumen impregnated' which is I guess what gives it the brown colour. I'll ask some more questions but it looks 'period', the bitumen would stop the ends coming undone because everything will be stuck together. The supplier lists it as 'stiff as per original'. I fitted a tape to my Series I a few years ago and it was a bit 'floppy' and the ends are coming undone.
I still have to check my Series I & Series II for rivet holes etc.
I noticed on my Series III that the ends of the tape were trapped down between the radiator panel & the wings, certainly stops the ends fraying or coming loose.
The copper bifurcated rivets are 7.5mm head, 3.8mm shaft and 12mm long. I think the original rivets were 3/16" so these are a bit smaller diameter.
The company I'm dealing with supply vintage parts not Land Rover so it's these rivets or find another supplier.....

Still waiting for a straight answer from the supplier.
I ask a question, his answers don't tie up with the question ?!
SII & SIII have 10 rivet holes will check the S1 out at the weekend.

Hi Colin,
Put me down for a set also please! It will go down nicely on Roger my S2 - when I eventually get back to working on him! :wasntme:
Series ones have 12 rivets.
