Sounds good. I have had a couple of NOS vacuums from Kev but they didnt last long. I have been sending them to that bloke at Caboolture to get new diaphrams fitted. They have been OK so far.
I timed mine up and fitted the new chain yesterday. Had to go to town today so bought a seal for the timing cover. I got an undersize one as the shaft on the balancer is scored so I will turn it down a bit on the lathe.

I fitted speedy sleves on all my flanges when I did the motor years ago & didn't have any oil leaks for quite a few years but now its like all Landrovers , helps to stop rust. Wayne

Turned up a mandrell, tapped on the balancer and turned the spigot down to 1.875" to suit the replacement seal

I bought one of the Leyland Cartransporters with 8 landrovers . Found one in Australia

Got my diatributor bits from Kev But as I thought the carby gaslet set from British Off Road was incorect & some of the gaskets were broken . Thet told me they are no longer available so i ordered one from England. Will glue the other back together untill the new one comes. Wayne

Everyone has their way of doing this. Here is mine. Drop a tack hammer in the slot, the handle stops it rotating.

You'll have it runing before i've got landy going again . Overhauled distributor , all works fine except i broke the insulator saddle for the points bolt .

Kev's sending me one tomorrow .

Have glued the carby gasket back together until the overhaul kit comes. Wayne

I carved a saddle out of a bit of plastic. Seems to work.
Those Dioramas look good. I cant afford them but.

I have ordered some BSF Brass manifold nuts as the steel ones were not much good.

if Kev hadn't had them thats what i was going to do

Core plugs are 1 15/16" set in "Stag" and tapped in with a socket.

I have always installed the filter with the raised join in the gap in the centre of the clamp. As in the pic of the whole engine and box. It is a pain to remove as the complete clamp has to be unbolted.
Wayne (1950landy) and I were discussing this and he said some people just install the filter from underneath leaving the seam under the clamp.
I found these other pics showing just that. So, it seems you can take your pic.
I wont be changing out these filters anyway as they are too hard to get . I will just change the oil more often (when it starts to darken) and put it through my tractor so it wont be wasted.
