Unfortunately Steve Parker has gone out of business..... https://www.landrovermonthly.co.uk/articles/steve-parkers-ltd-goes-into-liquidation/

I'm doing the same conversion but am not at that stage yet. i have a 'steering lock', not sure if they all do. Anyhow, this is the one recommended by top Land Rover garage here in Ireland which I bought. It has 1. Off, key out 2. Power to dash, lights, etc 3. Power to heater plugs 4. Power...

Have this saved but don't know where I got it..... "In 1971, Fairey bought MAP and continued to manufacture many of the MAP designs. The capstan winch underwent a number of modifications including replacing the lettering on top of the bollard to FWL (Fairey Winches Ltd)".....

Had a go at the Timing belt, my first time, and that wasn't too bad as long as you do your study beforehand.....

A bit of a 'Milestone', engine and gearbox finally in position.....

Made up a Clutch Alignment tool from a bit of Oak and it all went togrther smoothly.....

This is a Series 3 Box but it looks similar to the bits you have.....
