Thank you dag019
I had another look tonight and lower down at about elbow height I've found a possible area to mount the reel. I'll post some pictures up if I get anywhere with it.
The top bottom bracket can be fitted using the existing mounts. It is only the reel
Itself that you need to find a way of mounting. On my hardtop I mounted this to some 10mm angle iron that was bolted to the original position on the rear bulkhead...
Thank you for the quick replies and sorry for the poor lighting in the photo.
Fitted currently are the original seat belts which have 2 mounting points, one up high and the other down at the seat box base. With the 3 point inertia belts, the...
Good evening LZ
I'm after advice on fitting front seat belts to a SWB truck cab.
I ordered a driver and passenger 3 point inertia belts from Paddocks to replace the tatty old static ones. I was hoping to find a middle mounting area when I...
Oh I have to be honest I bought it almost like this recently, all I’ve done is repaint it in satin marine blue, put a canvas and roof rack on and got it a little muddy
There was a time when most working vehicles had oil bath filters. tractors, harvesters did and they worked well. The issues that brought about change were people got lazy and did not like getting messy and cost of units, cheaper just to have a...
PERFORMANCE PARTS - Air Filtration.
I thought I'd give this a go and see/feel the difference. They stated '15% fuel saving and increased performance.' So be it! I parted with my cash. Now, before I go any further I'd like to explain why we get...
I decided to give it a go today. Move that spring inwards as far as possible without making a special tool for it.
I managed to compress the coil spring enough to see the retention clip but not enough to remove it. Bugger me!! That spring is...
It was a lovely sunny day yesterday so we made an early to start to get as much done as possible.
The rotten door tops were replaced and the new spare wheel and tyre mounted
Replaced the plastic carb spacer which disintegrated on removal and...
Unfortunately many parts which are listed as fitting are incorrect to what you may have.
Step back, clean everything up and do a list to save money and get parts from one supplier.
Be aware its an endless job owning a Series Land Rover.
Hi all, I purchased a 1980 ex MOD lightweight (2.25 Petrol) and I am currently working my way through numerous faults and niggles which are keeping me off the road. Currently having issues starting but I believe that this is due to a couple of...
Thanks Anaconda, Bilt Hamber do some great products. I soaked the thermostat housing and block in their crystals and it stripped off years of corrosion. I really like their clear wax stuff too. I'm not looking forward to getting underneath and...
This stuff seems to work quite well, then primer and paint and some sort of wax spray on top and inside cavities.

It took a lot of flushing and any series landrover enthusiast would have been appalled at the colour of what came out.
It's a great quality paint from Paintman and a stunning colour. I'd love to paint the block but the priority now is to try...
We haven't lost interest in recommissioning the old truck just yet. We managed to get some jobs done yesterday, mainly the much needed coolant system refresh.
Painted thermostat housing and fan cowling.
New expansion tank and cap
New thermostat...
I had an odd encounter with wheel nuts on my new to me Series 3 yesterday.
The first wheel came off easily but the brace kept slipping off the nuts on the other wheels. I thought I had earlier series flat nuts on but they were series 3 that had...
Running lean but running well. I determined it was suffering from 2, maybe 3 issues.
The coil was working intermittently so I replaced it.
Two of the three carburetors I tried were getting clogged at times.
The brake servo may be introducing a...
