Thread: 11A: 30100192B

A few questions,
Does anyone know from looking at the dash whether the 2 pullout knobs( middle left, top right) are standard and what they might do?
also the starter button is on the dash , it is the little black thing in the middle on the right of the dash. is this original or did they have the standard series push start button lower on the firewall?

What a great find Tony, I'm not 100% certain but I would suspect the switch top Right of the dash would be instrument illumination as per std S2A, the other switch, well you have had enough experience with what other people do to Land Rovers, anyway great item, looking forward (no pun intended) to seeing one day cheers mate Dennis

Well Done Tony
Dont chuck anything away. Those steps look like the original one and are scarce. See I had them fitted to the 6x6 at the expo. No other type of step would make it easier to get in the cab.
The special studs and nuts to hold them get lost too.
These had the all helical transfer box and the PTO to fit it is also rare.
Does this drive the hydraulics for the tipper?
The 2A gear change is a bit of a PTA but the holes the shafts slide in can be rebushed to get it working smoothly again.
I prefer the 2A gear lever position in the floor to the 2B. that sits on top of the engine box between the seats.
I can take pics of the engine cover with dimensions if you need to make one.
The tyres are 900x16 and to replace them with smaller ones would make it look crappy. The original wheels are rare now too.
I would just tidy it up and put an Isuzu 3.9 in it.
I am biased as thats what I did with mine anyway

Looks like an interesting project Tony. Keep you busy (and broke) for a while.

Looks magic! Enjoy your new machine!!

Still going strong, I need to fix the brakes before going anywhere to adventures



very windy unfortunately

That's a ripper Tony. Keep it as it is.

Next project is build a shed and then I can do some service work to it. I want to change all hoses and check/change oil ect. The main problem is lack of brakes at the moment which is stopping me from taking it for a drive up/down the big hills.
