Yes it looks exactly like that - the strap is the mount (part of the chassis/battery box). The vented part in the photo above has been taken off, below that is the stud and air inlet in my original photos.

Hello all - I suspect my photos are just a bit misleading as I think its just a normal oil bath air cleaner. Slightly blurry photo from the operations manual, it looks exactly like this. NB photo was taken with part E removed. The other photos show it wrapped in clingfilm (and upside down) so...

This is the bit I've snapped off. Having taken a load of white spirit and a wire brush to it, it appears that it is a stud that is located in the top of the 'fins'. Can't move it for love nor money though, so grind and weld a new stud on seems to be the way forward. I will go for black, POR15...

Hello All, today I cleaned up my oil bath air cleaner and after getting all the mug and cruff off it, it wasn't black as I was expecting. It was bare metal (so a combination of shiny steel and surface rust). What are people's thoughts on how to proceed? Painting it black with something like...

Right! A bit of time without posting, but I have still made some progress. A few updates... I got some strange looks from the neighbours but I got some initial lengths by laying out string on the car. From there I made the schedule attached previously and a list of wires (and connectors...

After some time fettling I've ended up with the attached - still work in progress, but should be at a point to work out what bits I need to order within a few days.

Mega - cheers Rob, I think I've got it now. Thanks for your help. I've now got this in my wiring diagram.

Thanks for the explanation Rob - I don't suppose it's possible to draw me a picture? I'm struggling to work out how I can wire it up with the switch I've got - which might be because it's not actually possible... If I connect the park switch input to power permanently would that work?

There will also be a number on the engine - this will identify it. If you get some heritage info from LR it will tell you which engine was fitted at the factory for your chassis.

Realising I don't have a dedicated washer switch and my wiper switch only has 2 positions, I'm considering changing what is currently my wiper switch for a similar type to the lights/heater switch. On the single speed wiper connector, there is a green and an earth, and then a green/red and a...

Updated harness layout diagram with lengths. Quite a few differences to the original measurements I took from the harness I removed from the car, but they are all 'explainable' due to me moving breaks and things.

Your chassis number should tell you what was in it originally - you can type it in here: http://www.clifton.nl/index.html?calvin.html It might be a 'valid' engine for the period, but it might not be the original from your car - mine started life as a petrol but ended up with a diesel by the...

Can you tell what it is yet? A nice day for taping bits of string all over what's still outside on the landy - got some strange looks from the neighbours, but I think I've got all the measurements I need. Ended up with some tweaks to the harness layout diagram to avoid sending wires over the...

Updated wiring diagram attached, now to include a washer bottle switch/motor which I'd forgotten. Also attached a schematic showing where the harness will go/branch and break points (green blocks). Schedule to come...

Thanks for the links - I'll grab a finned 100W job I think, as I'd like to keep it out of sight. On the list!
