Thread: Funny what you find in the back of old Land Rovers

Whoops, I meant between I and K.

Cheers, Mick.

I'll investigate that Mick. I don't know these Landys very well but it surprises me they used a rod, I'd have thought something flexible such as a bit of leather would have been more likely. Still, I'll check that out before pulling the doors off.

The thermostat is out of a series one( same as mine assuming that the top is the right diameter)

My early Series 2 has the check-rod with the bolt on receiver (welded from around 1960 odd). The end opening in the receivers are pretty worn, so I'll have to look at resto options for those.

All Series 2/2a had check rods for the doors - about 6" long, flattened with an eye one end and threaded the other end, where they have a nut, plain washer, spring washer washer and rubber buffer.

In relation to things in the back of rovers.

Check out what came out the back of one I had!

It is funny!

Well I think the number plate is the most exciting object - call him Arrow!

Hi John,

More on about the receiver "tube" fitted to the bulkhead. They seem to be welded to the bulkhead from late 1960, but the early ones have them bolt on. You can buy the check rods pretty easily, but the tube bit is the one worn out on my car.

Cheers,

Lou
