Thanks Tim but I have already bought that one a couple of months ago.
Its a good print and clearly shows a round white bar bolted between the windscreen mounts.

Hi Keith , I picked up some Landrover parts today ' there's a 2L copper head gasket with them. I beleave it will fit your 53 motor , the bores are the same centers as a 1595cc but are a larger diameter. If you want it its yours for $0. Also got a 2A 2 1/4 complete motor with out the head , the guy had it siting under his house for the lasr 30 years & the bores are rustey above the pistons. It's free to any one that wants it , just have to come & pick it up. There is also a 2 A wheel rim painted gray . There was also a PTO which I have already found a home fore & a few gasket sets that i have to sotr through & decide what to do with them. If you know anybody that wants the motor to rebuild or for the parts in it let me know. The corn shreader looks good . Regards Wayne

Would be good to go to a show & have your corn cobber & my pump runing together . Wayne

Looks as if the Landy Crown is not the same as the others.

Is that photo at the Brisbane Eka Grounds . the crown looks different to the one on the Humber looks to have straights instead of round sides & top' . It also looks different to the one in the Tasmania photo which is rounded but different to the Humber also. Wayne Would be goodc to get a square on front view of the Brisbane one.

Hi Keith , Have a look at my mini cam which had surfave rust on it , put it in the mollasse tank over night . Don't kmow what went wrong , I should have wiped it with fine wet & dry . Thats one Cooper S cam in the bin. i'am only using 3L to 200L of water mix. wayne

Keith , They just had one of the Royal Landrovers in Woolongong on channel 72 . Wyane

Where did you get that cam from. It looks as if its been buried in the backyard for a year. Is it some kind of alloy? There should be no problem with that mix eating steel.
