Thread: 1954 Royal Review 47160049

Hi Keith , I knew I had some photo's of Trevor's cars at Comet. The shed was full of Landrover parts . You can just see the forward control in one of the photo' s . I didn't ge a photo of the S1 he had restored or the P2 because they were in garages & couldn't get a decent photo Wayne

Here is the P2.
Its a Royal too. Same colour near enough and its got a sticker on the windscreen " By Royal Appointment" or similar

This P2 was owned by the brother inlaw of the guy that owned the hire co next door to our factory & Trevor bought it off him . Wayne

Dont use brake cleaner on your speedo. The numbers on the odometer disapear.
Lucky I could mix and match some bits.

There arn't any solvents you can use on instruments . Even metho takes the white off. In the old days when we did speedo repairs we had to wash our hands 10 times before handeling the tumblers.

Drilled and tapped the thermostat housing for my new gauge.
Turned up a brass nipple to screw into the water pump inside the o,ring.
Install the short bolt first. Bottom LH corner then use it as a pivot with a lever in the top to compress the o ring enough to line up the other holes.
