Andy,

I've purchased a 3M product called "Scotchcal" which is a smooth adhesive 
vinyl sheet.  These are used as 'invisible' bras on many cars.  I have made 
templates for all sorts of applications (e.g., my motorcyle and the numerous 
contact points that would be abraded by riding).  I would go online and see 
if 3M offers a product that has the rough surface to which you alluded.

Hope that helps.

Lance La Certe, Psy.D.

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] Nice Rover article in Hemmings Sports &
	Exotic Car magazine
Message-ID: <435940.2751.qm@web36204.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

So I'm?making my way through the latest issue of Hemmings Sports & Exotic Cars,?to which I recenty started subscribing, and what do I see on page 46 but a nice four-page article on our?favorite marque!? Including?a number of photos of nice east-coast cars and their owners, most of whose names I recognize from this august list.? Have I been completely asleep at the switch, or has?no-one mentioned this article yet on Rovernet?? 

Probably the former, because the photos and owner interviews were done at RoveAmerica earlier this year and I'm sure someone mentioned them and I've just forgotten.??Nevertheless, I'll go on about it.? I was very pleased to see it - it's probably the most exposure our?cars have had in a mainstream American car magazine in a long time.? And it's a pretty accurate thumbnail summary of the company history.? 

One of the reasons I decided to subscribe to the magazine is that one of the editors owns a 2000TC, which he writes about in his monthly columns.??He wrote the Rover article in this issue.? I'd love to see our cars get a little higher profile here in the?colonies, and this is a good step in that direction.

The magazine in general is quite good also.? I finally balked at the US price of Practical Classics ($120 per year);?a year of Hemmings Sports & Exotic?Cars was $10.? I recommend it highly.? It's not as?large and wide-ranging as PC, but it's the?closest thing to?it I've found that's published on this side of the pond.

Steven,

The points plate for any 25D should work. They are identical, only the cam, weights and springs determine what Lucas model you actually have. I am sure that can come up with a plate assembly fo you. Give me an adress and I will ship it.

That's a nice recommendation.
I've met the editor.  He seems like a nice guy.
I'll track down how to get a subscription.
What is the month of this article you quoted?  July? August? I don't know when they come out.  I have the April issue.

Geoff, 
  Just had dinner and a glass of wine and spotted your interesting post!
   
  Great to hear from another Rover enthusiast in Northern California, what model Rover do you have?
   
   I found both my cars "abandoned and forgotten" in storage in the bay area, I wonder how many more there are just waiting to be found, maybe articles like these will scare them out of hiding.
   
  They are a motoring masterpiece indeed, even if they are a challenge to get back on the road!
   
  Thanks for the "heads up" on the article, I will hunt it down, 
   
  Cheers,
   Peter Holbrook, Walnut Creek CA.

        Hi All,
                  Is there is any reason why the cheap, nasty and dangerous pair of screw type things can't be used to squash P6 springs ?  I know P6's are  "Different" , I haven't worked on the front end of one for over 30 years but just as jet engines do the compression thing the same as petrol and diesels, surely a cheap spring squasher can be made to do the job of a more oddball gadget.

       Slings and arrows my way, not Damiens.

         Regards,
                      MWJ.

Eric,

It is a well done article.  I think David LaChance, the author, may have 
been given a list of attendees by Dirk since Steven and I each got a copy by 
mail.  I suspect you will get one in due time; it just came out a couple of 
weeks ago as the October issue.

As Associate Editor for Hemmings and Rover owner himself, David is great to 
have in our camp.  I expect to support their effort with a subscription.

Hank

Date: Sunday, August 31, 2008, 9:31 PM

So I'm?making my way through the latest issue of Hemmings Sports &
Exotic Cars,?to which I recenty started subscribing, and what do I see on page
46 but a nice four-page article on our?favorite marque!? Including?a number
of photos of nice east-coast cars and their owners, most of whose names I
recognize from this august list.? Have I been completely asleep at the switch,
or has?no-one mentioned this article yet on Rovernet?? 

Probably the former, because the photos and owner interviews were done at
RoveAmerica earlier this year and I'm sure someone mentioned them and
I've just forgotten.??Nevertheless, I'll go on about it.? I was very
pleased to see it - it's probably the most exposure our?cars have had in a
mainstream American car magazine in a long time.? And it's a pretty
accurate thumbnail summary of the company history.? 

One of the reasons I decided to subscribe to the magazine is that one of the
editors owns a 2000TC, which he writes about in his monthly columns.??He wrote
the Rover article in this issue.? I'd love to see our cars get a little
higher profile here in the?colonies, and this is a good step in that direction.

The magazine in general is quite good also.? I finally balked at the US price
of Practical Classics ($120 per year);?a year of Hemmings Sports &
Exotic?Cars was $10.? I recommend it highly.? It's not as?large and
wide-ranging as PC, but it's the?closest thing to?it I've found
that's published on this side of the pond.

Hi Barry,

Yes, I do. Sorry, for not getting back to you sooner. Came back from San Francisco with a very bad cold that put me down for about four days. Then, got involved in our Portland ABFM. Just finished that yesterday. 

The actual overall length of the P-5 and P-6 spark plug covers including the screw in caps is approximately 63 mm for both. The internal measurement, from the base of the spark plug clip to the base of the cover is 28 mm for the P-5 and 25 mm for the P-6. The diameter of the base is also different. The P-5 is 29 mm and the P-6 is 26 mm. The other most obvious difference is that the groove for the rubber "O" ring is much higher from the base and is an actual groove on the P-6. The P-5 "O" ring rides near the bottom of the cover.

Thanks, very much for your patience and follow through. Let me know what you want for them and I will get a check off immediately to cover the cost and postage.

Slats

Hi Slats,
           Well after sorting out the metric measurements that I hate with a 
passion, I seem to have some P5 caps, do you want the screw in caps as well?
I will sort some out tomorrow and get them of to you. Give me your mailing 
address. they are free, always glad to help keep a Rover on the road.

trigger to the distributor housing?

Hi Ron,

Unfortunatly I can't. The baseplate is moved by the vacuum advance/retard. I'll still need that to work for the timing to do its thing through the range. I could modify the existing base plate, but it's in good condition and I had a problem with an earlier attempt at fitting a pertronix system. That turned out to be unsuitable for a dynamo equiped car. 

Cheers,

StevenD

Hi again Barry,

Yes, the screw caps would be nice also. Sorry, I thought that metric would be best for you. It is strange that you do not like it. I was trained as a machinist as a kid, so am very adept at the inch system, fractions, decimals, etc. Probably much more so than the average person and of course have many S.A.E. tools. But, I really like measuring in metric. It is so much easier and there is much less almost --- type of measurements. I find it particulary good for wood working. I picked up a neat little metric tape measure in Italy a couple of years ago in order to measure up an antique little table that I wanted to duplicate and use it more and more.

The address is 3403 NW 166th St. Ridgefield, WA 98642, USA

Steven,

I double checked in my Lucas manual and it should not be a problem. There are basically only two types of base plates and it has more to do with wether or not the point set is one piece or two. I am certain that I can come up with a good base plate for you. E-mail me an address at slatskars at comcast.net and I will send one, no charge.

I canot understand why you had difficulty in fitting a pertronix? All that it replaces is the points and condenser. Everything else remains te same. A dynamo shoul make no difference. In fact I have one for my MGTF and also for the P-5, as well as the MGB's of course. It is just a matter of getting the correct one for the distributor being used and the polarity.

A dynamo has different noise characteristics to an alternator, but I would 
expect the Pertronix could handle that.

Hi Slats,

The problem is the points post on the base plate. Its too high and clashes with the shutter when assembled onto the cam. The Crane manual (this is a XR700-0231 unit) actually mentions that you may need to remove the post on Lucas 25D dissys, so guess that its a known issuse.

Cheers,

Steven

It was a bit of a mystery. The engine certainly behaved better at higher reys. But at idle there was a very weak spark that would lead to the plugs getting sooted up. One of the reasons that I want to try the CRane opitcal system over the Pretronix is that the crane system is a ignition amplifier as opposed to just a switch. I think the Pertronix had had an problem with the lower voltage available at idle from a dynamo.

I may be wrong, but Pertronix weren't able to help much on this. To be fair to them, their tech guys did try and help on this, but were baffled too.

Cheers,

Steven

Maybe after 6 messages posted under the wrong heading, I should ask people to check the subject line and see if what they are about to post matches what they are about to say.

These 6 messages have now been entered into the archives and anyone searching for a certain topic will be mislead.

All a person needs to do when replying is click the cursor at the end of the subject line, backspace to the left, and type in a correct subject.

Sorry, but as the List Manager, I thought I should remind members at this point.

Steven,

Did you actually order the unit for the P-6 or contact Pertronix about this. I have contacted them directly on the internet about a problem and found them to be very co-operative. I seem to remember that some dizzys do have a shorter post. While going through my collection, I will lok for one. You are correct about some posts. I had to borrow a set of point one and had a devil of a time getting the points down over the post. I had to drill the hole out slightly. fortunatey one of our club members had a drill set along. The post really does not have to be very tall and could be cut down easily. It only serves as an anchoring point and pivot while adjusting.

Thanks for the explination. Something  to look out for. Interesting problem. I still have not installed mine on the P-5. Want to get it on the road first.

Strange, I run a Pertronix without any problems. Are you running std  
plugs (i.e. not fine wire electrodes)? With normal plugs, a TC will  
quickly foul the plugs if you are driving around town at low speeds.

Yours

Hi Slats,

This is a Crane XR700-0231 optical trigger unit. Not the Pertronix magnetic job. The 'shutter' fan for the optical trigger is what's clashing with the points post. At least with an extra base plate I can swap the points and the optical system by only undoing two screws. And I'll be able to restore the points system easily if I need to in the future.

I did think that I could get away with cutting the post down, but I would rather have a second plate to do that with. Ruth mentioned she may have one laying around so I'll give her a bell shortly.

I agree that Pertonix's tech support was very helpful, they really tried to help me with this. But after three weekends of trying various solutions I was still unable to get it working correctly. 

Pertronixs' view was that as the P6 had a dynamo, but no ballast resister the variables inherent [in that system] can cause problems with their product. Having said that I think there are TCs out there that have a dynamo and pertronix without any issues.


Lets see what happen

Hi Slats,
            The caps are on the way. I only had two screw caps, thought I 
had more, I have also sent 6 resister screw caps.

Hi, all,
The Rovernet server has gone nuts with bouncing messages. My understanding is that if the Rovernet server tries to send you a message and is rebuffed at your end, this rebuf constitutes a "bounce"  The server keeps score.  Apparently, it can tell if it is a "soft" bounce or a "hard" bounce.

I have gone into the server setting and doubled the number of bounces a person can have, increased the notification before email is stopped, gone through the whole list and re-established email where the server has cut it off.

If you think you are getting bounce warnings and you figure that you DON'T have a full inbox, your service provider has NOT gone off line for maintenance, and you HAVEN'T left your company and left your email service turned on, let me know and I'll make further inquiries with some contacts I have.

I am pasting the bounce information from the server, below so all can see what "bouncing" is about.

Eric

*******************************************************************
These policies control the automatic bounce processing system in Mailman. Here's an overview of how it works.

When a bounce is received, Mailman tries to extract two pieces of information from the message: the address of the member the message was intended for, and the severity of the problem causing the bounce. The severity can be either hard or soft meaning either a fatal error occurred, or a transient error occurred. When in doubt, a hard severity is used.

If no member address can be extracted from the bounce, then the bounce is usually discarded. Otherwise, each member is assigned a bounce score and every time we encounter a bounce from this member we increment the score. Hard bounces increment by 1 while soft bounces increment by 0.5. We only increment the bounce score once per day, so even if we receive ten hard bounces from a member per day, their score will increase by only 1 for that day.

When a member's bounce score is greater than the bounce score threshold, the subscription is disabled. Once disabled, the member will not receive any postings from the list until their membership is explicitly re-enabled (either by the list administrator or the user). However, they will receive occasional reminders that their membership has been disabled, and these reminders will include information about how to re-enable their membership.

You can control both the number of reminders the member will receive and the frequency with which these reminders are sent.

There is one other important configuration variable; after a certain period of time -- during which no bounces from the member are received -- the bounce information is considered stale and discarded. Thus by adjusting this value, and the score threshold, you can control how quickly bouncing members are disabled. You should tune both of these to the frequency and traffic volume of your list.

I appear to be getting the messages regularly (and can follow the

How do I stay attached?

Eric,

I receive the Rovernet into a Gmail account with over 7 gigabytes free  
(and counting...).  I've had continual service from my ISP, and I've  
apparently been receiving all Rovernet messages.  However, I too  
received the bounce warning.

Our technical guy at our new web hosting service which looks after <rovernet.ca> (and others for me) has worked on the mail bounce settings.  He asked how many messages an hour we received and how many subscribers we had.  I offered him about 8 messages in a flurry of activity.  He estimated the potential bounces and said, "Okay, I have increased the limit to 1200 per hour, that should not be a problem. If your list grows at some point and you start getting limit of 1200 reached, just let me know."

I told him that if it got to that limit I would be leaving home :-)

Let us know if you get bounce messages for no good reason.

Eric

What make of spark plugs do you like to use? Which spark plugs? I am having issues with spark plug fouling in my re ringed 2000 TC, and part of the reason is I have not gone for a decent run in it yet. I had to replace the fuel lines and get the fuel tank cleaned out so I could get fuel to the carbs. I am running  points with a resistorless coil from NAPA.

Hi Barry,

Thanks very much. I guess the resistor screw caps are for radio noise suppression! Be very interesting to see them. I did not know there were any available for the P-5's. Hope to return a favor someday.

Hi Slats
Your welcome

 I guess the resistor screw caps are for radio noise suppression!

That is correct. for when we used to us wire leads before carbon came the 
norm.
They were quite common back in UK in the 50s you could also get one that you 
put in the coil lead, you cut the wire and screwed each end into it.

Cheers
Barry

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] 2000SC clutch
Message-ID: <d25.33ea228d.35efd80b@aol.com>



    Hi,  
         My 5 cylinder Oz Audi 5+5, 80 in Euro used to do this all the time. 
It has a 1400cc Golf sized driven disc, behind a sized up gadget with a 2200 
cc Five.

      Audi in their wisdom used the same clutch but with these very gooey 
linings. A new clutch plate, the driven disc, was worth over $480 Oz last time I 
checked. I have a local bloke who will reline the old disc for about $90..  He 
is pretty good. He has previously done a new clutch for an old Le Mans 
Winner.

      The point IS,  these things start to self destruct if not used. If I 
don't drive my Audi for a long while, I have to go through all these weird 
routines to start getting it working again. One of the first is to crack the 
clutch. I make sure the battery is OK, and then alternately crank the donk in first 
and reverse until it will crank freely in gear. Then I start it but if it 
won't go into gear I stop it and then start it in gear and give the clutch a bit 
of a Smoke. Stop it and repeat in Reverse Order briefly,  it seems the little 
spring back in reverse gear helps. Then I drive it and after a little while, it 
returns to normal.  The Rowdy AUDI stil has its first clutch. Should your 
Rover clutch slip after the aforementioned brutality, replace the 3 bits at the 
back and put a new face on the bit at the front.

      Last thing, them sticky linings, I have an awful suspicion that my Dad 
developed them when he was an Industrial Chemist at James Hardies Asbestos in 
the early 1950's. He was trying to come up with a better brake lining. His 
Head Chemist is still around. I wont say any more about Asbestos.


     Regards, Drive your Gadgets,

                                                    MWJ.

I think if you check earlier listings lots of people got them and Eric is actively pursuing or has resolved the 'problem'. Keep watching?I am sure Eric will confirm/clarify in due course. In fact I think he may well have done so.

Hi Netters,
We will have a new rovernetter sometime today.  James Dean emailed last 
week asking for a P4 windscreen for a gent in California.  I was able to 
help Dale and in the subsequent conversation encouraged him to join the 
RCCC and Rovernet, so he should be joining us sometime today.

His name is Dale Head and he lives in the Los Angeles area.  He has a 
1952 P4 "75" that he has owned for over forty years and is in the 
process of restoring.  I have already sent his contact info to John 
Burkhard.

Roverly,
Kent K.

I checked the server just now.
I didn't see that the people who have noted a problem have been disconnected by the server.

My technical support guy has made some changes.

I'll contact him again if the problem still remains on Thursday, Sept. 4, PDT.

I checked the server just now.
I didn't see that the people who have noted a problem have been 
disconnected by the server.

My technical support guy has made some changes.

I'll contact him again if the problem still remains on Thursday, Sept. 
4, PDT.

Hi Eric,
I have not gotten any notices, but I sent a message several hours ago 
and it hasn't shown up on Rovernet.  I'll see if this one makes it.

Kent,
Everything looks right at the server.
The message you last sent was in Plain Text.  All OK, there.

Hi Eric and other Rovernetters,
My earlier notice was to introduce Dale Head of Santa Clarita, 
California.  I understand he already joined RCCC and I encouraged him to 
sign up for Rovernet but to hold off until all the bounced message 
business was sorted.

James Dean referred Dale's wife to me for a windscreen for Dale's 1952 
P4.  Dale has had the car since he was a teenager (over forty years) and 
is in the process of restoring it.  I have sent his contact info to John 
Burkhard as well.

Roverly,
Kent K.

It is now Thursday, Sept. 4 at 8:40 am PDT.
I have checked all member names on the Rovernet server.
Nobody has held mail due to bouncing.

Let me know if, in the next 6 hours, you receive a bounced mail notification.

Thanks,

first of all i would like to thank you for any assistance.

I have a Rover SD1 Vitesse and i would like to put 22" rims on it, first of all i am wondering if it is at all possible and if it is what needs to be done to make them fit here is the address to the rims that i am looking at. http://wheels.my105.com/index.asp?product=3982&CategoryID=7745&parentid=6893

they are supposed be able to be put on a rover 3500, which has the same hub as a SD1 so i beleive it is possible but am not sure.

Please Terry; don't mess up a nice Rover Vitesse with ghetto wheels.

Instead consider new Koni dampers, springs, swaybars, and some sticky  
tyres.  Your car will be faster and more fun to drive.

22" wheels will only make the car slower and show the world you prefer  
flash over substance.

Message-ID: <d01.3c26c63a.35f54cde@aol.com>



    Hi Slats and Gang,
                                I used to have one of those  Champion plug 
cleaning and testing machines. I also had an early Aussie built Tunescope. A bit 
later, I had access to a dizzy sorting machine.   I eventually developed the 
impression that plugs are either OK or you chuck them. 

      I have Spa on the other screen at the moment and am distracted. Have 
Developed the impression that without wings, the F1 cars would go into orbit at 
the top of the hill after Eau Rouge. 2 Laps to go and its starting to gently 
rain. Have a look you all.A Fazz swapped ends and Lewis has got it. Maybe. Very 
skatie and Lewis Wins.

   Back to the plugs, you pull them out and check them. Occaisonally you can 
freshen them up, but mostly you have to chuck them. Reason is that when you 
look at them you recognise the deeper and more meaningful  problems inside the 
donk. Plugs and points will freshen the thing up but sooner or later you are 
going to have to freshen the donk.

   Learn to read plugs. If the insulator is dirty it has become conductive. 
Chuck em. Don't ever look at any more than a square up of the electrodes and a 
reGap. That is it.

   If you have probs with plugs, it is cheaper to just buy new plugs than 
stuffing around with cleaning them. Keep it simple.

    Belgian GP,  last couple of laps, check it out. Lewis got it.

    Regards, for Rover "bougies",

                             MWJ.

No they won't fit a P6 or and SD1 without major hacking around of bodywork
and other vital components  - 22" wheels are really intended for SUV
applications

The wheels on the link are  9.5" wide so large chunks of metal work will
need to be moved out of the way and the exiting wheel arches given  flares.
More worrying is the diameter -  255/30/22 tyres add 4" to the overall
diameter over the standard  Vitesse 15" rims and tyres so you're going to
lift the car 2" and/or find the rubber banging on parts of the suspension
and body work. Simply put the use of 22s will need a lot of custom body and
suspension work ( and IMHO the driver  will still look like some
gansta-wannabe who wanted an Escalade but could only afford the wheels)

Without indulging in major reconstruction the practical limit for the rims
is probably 17" or thereabouts with low profile tires - several people have
used mags intended for a later model Jeep Grand Cherokee on a P6 so you
might find something suitable for an SD1 for that

A different SD1 Wheel question: Ft. Lauderdale's Code Enforcement Gestapo just forced me to break up 2 SD1,a 67 Bentley, a Vanden Plas Princess 4R,  a MKI Jag, etc. .. Don't ever move to this city, if you love Classic cars.. Anyway, I now have a large surplus of SD1 wheels. There has been little demand on my eBay store.Do these happen to fit non-Rovers; such as any American cars? I need to be more versatile in my marketing. Thanks, James Dean, Ft.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the input. If I ever sort out my "office" and get my issues of "Skinned Knuckles" in order, I may be able to find the article that I quoted. As stated earlier, it said that the current manufacturing processes have changed and it is no longer recommended that plugs be sand blasdted. This used to be a standard procedure on the champion testing machines. I will find the article eventually.

Hi James,
I have enough SD1 wheels to build a wall around my back garden.  The 
problem is not the 5x5 bolt pattern.  Lots of older Ford and GM cars use 
that bolt pattern.  It's the fact that the SD1 wheels are only 14".   
Really big wheels have never appealed to me, though some Rovers look 
better with wider wheels IMHO. 

Roverly,
Kent K.

Hello Terry,
 
I have 18" rims on my VDP and think that this is the maximum size you
want to go. In general the road holding is poor because the suspension
is not engineered for such low profile tyres and you feel all the bumps.
OK if you are on the race track. You can make these fit but you might be
disappointed.

Hi Terry,

I Concur!  The SD1 has tall gearing. If you increase the wheel size,  
you will suffer from poor performance unless you change the final  
drive as well.

       Hi Eric and All,
                              Just had a little catch up.  I noticed the 
stuff about bounces going on for a few days. The day before it seemed to have 
started I had this line in my mailbox,

"3/09/2008  rovernet-reques    confirm 
bb00ed53e4124a2001bb3fdd31abc0842da4c831".

      I haven't opened it, as it just looks too strange. Has anyone else 
received it. As far as I know I haven't bounced anything and haven't missed 
anything. If anybody has received it, what is it?

      Regards,
                    MWJ.

Good Day Rovernetters.

Started up my '69 TC2000 and I could hear the voltage regulator making noise at idle. The clattering would start, the ignition light would come on and it would repeat much like it was on the turn signal cicuit. If  I raised the rpm's the noise would stop, the ignition light would stop coming on but interestingly enough my turn signals would come on but not blink. All other lights and accessories are fine. Just for ducks I looked at the flasher assembly and it was loose in it's mounting so I thought "poor ground" and tightened the screw. No change. Also I noticed there are two terminals on the flasher but only one wire going to it.  My flasher has worked fine all these years.
Now, let me throw another thing at you. When I started the car and this problem began it had been after a two month shutdown for right hand side cover replacement. As you may know the RH motor mount bracket has to come off before the side cover. The thick braided ground strap also has to be disconnected from bolt that holds the motor mount bracket to the block. Could it be that I now need to re-polarize the generator/voltage regulator because it lost it's ground and that is what is causing this wierd electrical anomaly? If so I suppose I can just read the shop manual on how to do it.

At idle it is touch & go as to whether the regulator points are in or out.
I'd say all is fine if 1000rpm means they stay in.
The flasher is a separate issue, and it should have at least 2 wires 
attached.

Hi there Roveites!

The symptons you describe are very typical of low voltage level. The
dynamo does not seem to work as good as it should, even though they
never used to give so much current at low revs anyway. Don't touch the
regulator before checking other items. Is the battery OK? The regulator
is quite refined and can be difficult to check. Of couse you should
check the earth connection to the engine. The flashers are sensitive to
low voltage and would just glow as you describe. All other items work,
but you would notice that the lights glow a little less. I don't think
you have to repolarize the dynamo. If you have a voltage meter you could
test the voltage of the battery. It should read 12.5 V when the engine
is at rest. The engine can start at around 10V. When the engine runs
(enhance to around 1000 rpm idle)the voltage should be around 13.5 to
14.5 V. You probably wouldn't see that. Check all wiring and try to see
whete the dynamo charge at all. If you cant get any charge from the
dynamo then consider to repolarize and check the state of the brushes.

Check that your bulbs are all working on your indicators and check that they are the right wattages. My indicators tended not to flash, or only flashed very slowly for a long time, when the motor was idling. Changing to the correct wattage bulbs fixed that, so they flash all the time.

I find with my generator that the if it has sat for a while I need to give the generator a little tap with a hammer to help seat the brushes, then the voltage regulator cuts in when it should at about 1000 rpm

If you are in upstate NY, you can get new RB340 voltage rebulators for $22 from Himrod farm supplies in Dundee, NY.
They are the same regulator as used in many Ford 3000 or 4000 tactors, but they will regulate to 22 amps instead of 30 amps, which is probably not a problem for our cars. I hardly ever use mine at night for long periods, and I have turned all the accesories on with the motor running, on a fast idle, and battery disconnected, and things still did work, indicating that 22A is just enough.

James.

You can adjust the current cutout, refer to a P4 manual.

Thanks for your comments regarding my situation. 
I am going to re-polarize but  there isn't anything in the shop manual that references this operation. Would someone please educate me?
I will  fiddle with the ground stap to see if that helps. Voltage at the battery is fine.

Just push the cutout points in on the regulator, then force them open.
Actually running the engine achiieves it anyway, I did this on my P4 100 
when converting it to negative earth.

Hi Eric,

Congratulations on your website. Unfortunately I can't pop in to see you as I am in UK.  I was hoping you could help me with the colour code for my Rover 216 Sli 1995 (July reg) as I need to purchase some scratch cover paint  to beautify the old baby.
I call it cherry red. 
The vehicle ID number is: SAXXWXWMCBD137127.

cheers!

I would suggest the folks at www.aronline.co.uk might know.  They seem  
to be quite keen on the Rover R8s on that site.

     Hi All,
              Terry's proposal is interesting but impractical, all MacPherson 
Strutted cars have a limit to which the front wheels can be widened without 
major redesign. You can only go in so far before you hit the strut on the 
inside and then as you extend the offset to the outside the car becomes more and 
more of a PIG to drive.

   The trick is to keep the steering axis passing through the longitudinal 
line of the tyres contact  patch.   Widening the rims offset to the outside of 
the axis gradually turns the car into a darty and weaving beast. It is 
unbalanced. Giving it more castor just won't help. Going to extreme positive camber 
might, but that defeats the purpose.

   I have driven double wishbone cars that have done this as well because of 
the same mismanaged front offset.

    With a strut on a SD1 you can only go as far as Walky's rule bender at 
Bathurst. Our Aussie bloke Harrex, took his SD1 down to Bathurst at the same 
time and went nowhere. He didn't have Walky's trick. I regularly drive past 
Harrex's current workshop.

      For a big wheeled SD1, I have for a long time wanted to build a 
"Pro-Touring"  SD1.  We start with a VDP, get a set of Cromadora''s from a  365 GTB 
and fit them with a set of logical tyres. Place the body at the desired ground 
clearances and start cutting metal to fit the Cromadoras. Our Aussie 
HotRodders are stars at this. They use the "English Wheel". 

      The front flares don't go above the swage line, the rear flares stay in 
style (might extend into the rear doors). The inside gets tubbed. The front 
suspenders go to double wishbone as per current V8 SuperCar specs. The  
uprights are early DJR Mag Stuff and we trim the brakes down to fit.  The inner front 
guard may need some work in order to fit the  excess' of the double wishbone. 
Down the back once the wheels and tyres get put in position my preference  is 
that the whole lot hangs off the early Oz Falcon IRS, the one before the 
Blade. It is a better type of E Type rear End. Plus the diff is good.

     If we can't get the old DJR  Mag Uprights then maybe we take the current 
Falcon  Stubs and do a bit of Illegal bending. I just hate the idea of using 
spindle stub axles in a hard core car.

    The donk is a late cross-bolted Rover thing with 860 4 valve 
Repco-Brabham heads on top. I wish IRV was still around to help. He'd know how to do this. 
First Stroke. IRV was a Land Rover Bloke. ( I Know some people in the 
Repco-Brabham  Association, but not closely). We'll give it a low blow, just shove it 
in  without a zorse turbine and add the gas (Nitrous)  in case of 
"Emergencies",.

     So we turn the VDP into a Logical Super Car, should be able to do 190 on 
the German Autobhans,  I consider my VDP is only a 2+2.  Some time back, I 
had 4 blokes from work, all big in my VDP ( Baby Bently). We slid the Front 
Seats forward and my mate in the left hand seat stuck his head out through the Sun 
Roof  to make space in the front. I had about 270kgs of blokes on the back 
seat and I could hardly see over the bonnet. The self-levellers were average. 

     I must close,  I have to sleep then get back into the new Sterling for 
70 houror so.

    RRegards,
                        MWJ.

Message-ID: <DF0BC02A13894ABB9CD989ECF73A8104@userbeb5651830>

Hi
As Will Shakespeare once said " Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer , by this noble son of Solihull and all our 
troubles etc - etc ""
More to the point  I finally managed to get my NADA P6 3500S ,the motor house find aka  RVWinkle rolling today . All the gremlins in 
the brakes have finally been put to rights , the windows roll up and down electrically and even the original steam radio chugs into 
life .
I went for a cautious troll around our quiet suburb to check every thing out and then a quick blat down the through way to clean out 
the V8 . The brakes work well although  they are still a bit heavy[ perhaps the pads need to bed in ??] ; the hand brake will put 
flats on the rear tyres  if used in an emergency. The power steering is nicely weighted , it corners nicely for a 40+year old design 
. The transmission shifts cleanly , the kick down works as it should .At last I can see why people like this little toy.
There are still a few things left to sort out The idle is lumpy and too slow so that the engine has a nasty habit of dying at stop 
signs and red lights .The accelerator pedal is stiff, it needs a firm wellington boot to get the horses out of the barn  The 
odometer and trip don't work although the speedo is ok [ Does any one have a spare round P6B speedo  in good condition ??? ]
So " once more unto the breach dear friends " or is it " A horse , a horse , my kingdom for an horse "????
Cheers from a slightly over wrought

The courtesy lights normally have 12 volts applied by a Purple wire. The door switch is a ground source and uses a Purple/White wire. It t sounds like you have a resitive short in the ground circuit. Either one of the door switches or within the lamp assembly itself. With no power to the lamp assembly you should be able to test it for resitance to ground with an ohm meter. Other than that I would suggest removing the lamp assembly and cleaning it well, looking for a resitive (dirt/moisture ?) path to ground. If that checks out well then pop out the door switches and look for the same.

Thanks again for everyone's help in my time of need. Turned out to be low battery voltage. (Jan wins the prize)
I dismissed the battery because the starter was still spinning fast . But then I did measure the voltage and it was 11.46. I guess sitting for a couple of months does that- even an Optima. Put it on a charger overnite  and brought the voltage up to 12.43. Starter really screams now and the regulator isn't making that noise anymore, Turn signals now working normally. I've had low voltage situations before with this car but the regulator didn't make that noise.
Oh well, I'm good now.

Well if you do what I've just done, the shipping costs aren't that bad. It's
costing me around US$2,600 to ship the car from the States, and that
includes collection from Kentucky and through to the London area over here..

Now I just have to wait until the hurricane season is over as it's
apparently delaying shipping for a while

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] How do you get this trim off?
Message-ID: <001d01c9193b$c88e65b0$59ab3110$@com.au>

  
I have a 3500S with a vinyl roof and it needs replacing and I am looking at
taking off the trims and windscreens so it can be done properly. The only
thing I can work out is how the chrome trim on the roof is clipped on. How
do you get it off?

Thanks

There is a reason they call that the "cant rail"  cause if it is rusted at 
all, you can't get it off without bending or denting it. I found out the hard way

Hi Damien,

I recently removed all my trim for re-painting.

It's easiest to remove the small "cap" at the rear of the trim strip,  
which you can tap off with a mallet and a small piece of wood. I use  
chopsticks, because they're extremely hard and don't split. Once the  
cap is off, you can get a wedging tool, preferably plastic, under the  
back edge of the trim, and work it forward under the bottom edge. This  
will seem to distort the metal some as it comes off, but it  will snap  
back into place with the help of mallet taps as you re-install.

Best of luck.


Peter

Have you checked the odo trip reset winding mechanism?  I have a spare
speedo, but may be reluctant to part with it.  Removing the instrument
binnacle is not hard, and a local speedo shop recalibrated my speedo for
US$90.

Hi,

does anybody know if you can check a rev counter outside the car ?

I've got 2 P6 MkII rev counters and I don't know if they work properly - but I don't really fancy installing them in the car and look if they work ....

Thanks,

Tom,

If they are electronic, you should be able to hook up a wire from the distributor to coil connection and ground the instrument just as you would hook up a tune up type of dwell/tachometer. Be careful to have the correct polarity.

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] P5 heater pipe
Message-ID: <48D84739.6000702@comcast.net>

Not to insult snails, but my P5 Mk III restoration is coming along at a 
snail's pace.  Pending the arrival of a small part from Pierre, I 
thought I had the cooling system squared away.  I found, though, that 
the coolant pipe (on top of the engine, connecting the water pump to the 
heater) is very corroded on the inside, and boring with a wire brush 
does little to help.  Eventually I'm going to need to get a new one or 
make one.  According to a plumbing place, the pipe isn't a conventional 
plumbing size.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any suggestions?

Thanks, Gordon.

Happy Trails to you, Gordon, from Canada...where five of these lovely P5 variants putter around the Fraser Valley...With great patience and fortitude, Barry Lafbery is helping a well-adjusted high school teacher with his P5, Mark III efforts...and he may just provide you with some insight...or his pal, Tonto, (Mike) who has a Mark III of his own.? I see you mention Pierre's name as a reliable supplier of P5 spares.? Indeed he is...professional to the core.? Regards...(the well-adjusted high school teacher)

Gordon,

I believe all P5's and at least later P4's have the same pipe.  It 
should not be hard to find a good used one.  I'll keep an eye out for 
one in our various collections, but others may be able to turn one up 
faster.

I have been out driving my Rover 2000 TC, breaking in the motor, after fitting new rings.  It seems that the car must have a non standard differential in it. In 4th gear at 55 mph the tach is reading 4050 rpm, which seems high. I have checked the tach with a digital tach, and it is reading correctly. I had heard that this car might have once been used for racing, so perhaps it has a high (or should I say low?) ratio differntial in it, althought I thought the 2000's had the highest ratio diffs, 3.54:1, and I am guessing that this diff might be 4.00:1.  I have read in an old road report that 4th gear should give 19.8mph per 1000rpm, so 60mph shoud be about 3000 rpm. Am I overlooking anything here? The gear box looks like the spare one which was sent with the car. The car has dunlop brakes on the rear. Does anyone out there have a good spare differential, or any thoughts about my numbers here?


Thanks,


James.

My 2000TC reads 3000 RPM's at 55MPH.  It's all original with no
modifications.  Hope this helps.

I had a similar concern when I bought my 2000TC a year or so ago.

I had been used to driving modern auto 6cyl cars and forgot that the 4cyl is a bit more active under the hood, so when I heard the revs I thought my gearing was off. I was convinced, especially as the tacho agreed with me and overstated the rpms. And I did an electronic rpm check which also indicated that the tacho may be in error.

To resolve the problem I borrowed a gps system, which shows speed by gps satellite. I set the car at 2000rpm, drove down a straight road and low and behold I was doing exactly 2 x 19.5 = 39mph !!!!  Speedo was right all along, tachometer wrong, differential standard....doh 

Not sure if this helps you, but I was curious to see a similar question!

PS. I assume that all gearboxes in top gear would give a 1:1 ratio???

Why not remove the plugs, jack the rear and wind over the engine?by hand in 1 to 1 top gear?measuring the ratio of wheel turns to engine turn. If?the ratio is?1000 rpm out (25%?) it should show up after about 2 or 3 turns.

Rover ones do.
Some front wheel drive vehicles don't.

Hi All,

I did some research a while ago on this as I had the same issue on my TC. The speedo turned out to be pretty much bang on. The tacho was less accurate than a 15 day weather forcast. I used a laser tacho to calibrate the Smiths dash tacho. 850 rpm read as 1,100 rpm on the dash and at 2,000 rpm the dash showed 2,600 rpm! So yep, the Smiths tacho has some issues, but can be adjusted somewhat.

As to noise from the 2000 TC engine, there is a well known issuse with harmonic resonance between 60 and 70 mph, in fact it was mentioned in some road tests at the time. If you have somewhere you can get away with it, try cruising at over 80 and you'll be surprised how quiet it suddenly gets. I thought the engine had fallen out!

Cheers,

StevenD

To, James
         Whats the history on the Rover, the gear ratio differs on certain rover,, such as the SC2000 Automatic to the TC 2000 to the 3500 v8 P6,,,  check the differential casting and the numbers on it, they very,, if you know the difference on them as I do.  Tire size also matters..  hope this helps  
   From Nelson O'R.
 


I have been out driving my Rover 2000 TC, breaking in the motor,
after fitting new rings.  It seems that the car must have a non
standard differential in it. In 4th gear at 55 mph the tach is reading
4050 rpm, which seems high. I have checked the tach with a digital
tach, and it is reading correctly. I had heard that this car might have
once been used for racing, so perhaps it has a high (or should I say
low?) ratio differntial in it, althought I thought the 2000's had the
highest ratio diffs, 3.54:1, and I am guessing that this diff might be
4.00:1.  I have read in an old road report that 4th gear should give
19.8mph per 1000rpm, so 60mph shoud be about 3000 rpm. Am I overlooking
anything here? The gear box looks like the spare one which was sent
with the car. The car has dunlop brakes on the rear. Does anyone out
there have a good spare differential, or any thoughts about my numbers
here?


Thanks,

Hi Gianluca,

I wonder what it would be worth if it had the original 6 clyinder, three speed manual transmission, etc., with only 28,000 miles on it. That one is very heavily modified. It looks like only the body is 1949. New is was in the $2,000 class or slightly less in 1949-50.

Dear Slats, 
Very kind of you.

It is a splendid car, never seen one here.

I know there was a similar car which is now exposed in metropolitan museum, it has automatic gearbox ( maybe 6 vitesses 9 nearby the steering wheel.

It is a masterpiece.
Do you remember the name of ten car?

Best regards, gianluca.

Hi Gianluca,

I wonder what it would be worth if it had the original 6 clyinder, three speed manual transmission, etc., with only 28,000 miles on it. That one is very heavily modified. It looks like only the body is 1949. New is was in the $2,000 class or slightly less in 1949-50.

Gianluca,

That car is or was a Chevrolet and originally had a stright six cylinder, overhead valve engine of about 230 cubic inches. Chevrolet did not have an automatic transmission availble until 1950 and it was called power-glide. It was a really slow unit, two speed automatic. Chevrolet was an entry level car, a worker class family car at the time.

please remember that the tacho is driven by the coil current pulse , sensed by a current transformer in the instrument.

if the ignition system has been modified to electronic and the width of the pulse?is way off?the original point contact angle ( or on off percentage , as you wish ) the tachometer will most likely give you back your phone number .

Hi All,

I did some research a while ago on this as I had the same issue on my TC. The 
speedo turned out to be pretty much bang on. The tacho was less accurate than a 
15 day weather forcast. I used a laser tacho to calibrate the Smiths dash tacho. 
850 rpm read as 1,100 rpm on the dash and at 2,000 rpm the dash showed 2,600 
rpm! So yep, the Smiths tacho has some issues, but can be adjusted somewhat.

As to noise from the 2000 TC engine, there is a well known issuse with harmonic 
resonance between 60 and 70 mph, in fact it was mentioned in some road tests at 
the time. If you have somewhere you can get away with it, try cruising at over 
80 and you'll be surprised how quiet it suddenly gets. I thought the engine had 
fallen out!

Cheers,

StevenD

  Why not remove the plugs, jack the rear and wind over the engine by hand in 1 to 1 top gear measuring the ratio of wheel turns to engine turn. If the ratio is 1000 rpm out (25%?) it should show up after about 2 or 3 turns.

  I had a similar concern when I bought my 2000TC a year or so ago.

  I had been used to driving modern auto 6cyl cars and forgot that the 4cyl is a bit more active under the hood, so when I heard the revs I thought my gearing was off. I was convinced, especially as the tacho agreed with me and overstated the rpms. And I did an electronic rpm check which also indicated that the tacho may be in error.

  To resolve the problem I borrowed a gps system, which shows speed by gps satellite. I set the car at 2000rpm, drove down a straight road and low and behold I was doing exactly 2 x 19.5 = 39mph !!!!  Speedo was right all along, tachometer wrong, differential standard....doh 

  Not sure if this helps you, but I was curious to see a similar question!

  PS. I assume that all gearboxes in top gear would give a 1:1 ratio???

  Adrian

  I have been out driving my Rover 2000 TC, breaking in the motor, after fitting new rings.  It seems that the car must have a non standard differential in it. In 4th gear at 55 mph the tach is reading 4050 rpm, which seems high. I have checked the tach with a digital tach, and it is reading correctly. I had heard that this car might have once been used for racing, so perhaps it has a high (or should I say low?) ratio differntial in it, althought I thought the 2000's had the highest ratio diffs, 3.54:1, and I am guessing that this diff might be 4.00:1.  I have read in an old road report that 4th gear should give 19.8mph per 1000rpm, so 60mph shoud be about 3000 rpm. Am I overlooking anything here? The gear box looks like the spare one which was sent with the car. The car has dunlop brakes on the rear. Does anyone out there have a good spare differential, or any thoughts about my numbers here?


  Thanks,


  James.

I've just spent the day in the archives at BMIHT and had a little fun reading the 433-series build book along with about seven/eight years worth of car registrations.

Found some rather interesting things, such as registrations related to one of the Turbine cars, and four P8's - three of which were subsequently scrapped.

I was mostly searching for the NADA spec cars, and came up with the following:

433-series, Auto LHD export
431-series, Auto RHD - none ever produced

433002043A, final NADA produced 23/8/71-24/8/71, Red, sent to Germany

In addition to the majority sent to Canada and the States, there were also:
1 to Kuwait
1 to Holland
4 to Japan
1 to Spain
2 to France
14 to Switzerland
2 to Denmark
Several dozen to Germany, along with others sold to military personnel with UK regs, but probably ended up in Europe/Germany

One question that I have for anyone who in around the UK - does anyone know if the DVLA records are able to show whether a car is LHD or RHD if the chassis/vehicle number is provided, along with date of build etc? And how would I find/get that information..?

Apparently six or seven RHD NADA cars were converted by Rover's Engineering Dept, along the same time that mine was converted. I've found the records showing that Sir George Farmer was issued with my car, and have found references to a series of NADA cars assigned to the Engineering Dept.. therefore, if I can find out if they were LHD or RHD, I might be able to solve another little mystery


Cheers,

Chris

Chris
I can say fairly catagorically that DVLA will not have that sort of info.  
They may record this on new cars in the 21st century, but certainly not in the  
early 1970's.
 
In my last 'Driving Force' in July 1970, by inginuity and some intelligent  
guesswork, we came up with the full list of P6 commission numbers up to  1970:
 
400 - 2000SC Home Market  (62986 built)
 
401 -  2000SC RHD export (5006 built) 
402 -  2000SC RHD CKD (unknown quantity)* 
403 -  2000SC LHD export (11027 built) 
404 -  2000SC LHD CKD (unknown quantity)* 
405 -  2000SC auto Home Market (13476 built) 
406 -  2000SC auto RHD export (1554 built) 
407 -  2000SC auto CKD RHD (unknown quantity)* 
408 -  2000SC auto LHD export (1486 built) 
409 -  2000SC auto CKD LHD (unknown quantity)* 
410 - 2000S  Home Market (12 built)  
411 - 2000S RHD  export (not built) (guesswork)  
412 - 2000S RHD  CKD (not built) (guesswork) 
413 - 2000S  LHD export (3 built) 
414 - 2000S LHD  CKD (not built) (guesswork) 
415 -  2000TC Home Market (35686 built) 
416 -  2000TC RHD export (3231 built) 
417 -  2000TC RHD CKD (unknown quantity)* 
418 -  2000TC LHD export (11851 built) 
419 -  2000TC LHD CKD (unknown quantity)* 
425 - 3500  Home Market (16986 built) 
426 - 3500  RHD export (1866 built) 
427 - 3500  RHD CKD  
428 - 3500  LHD export (3428 built) 
429 - 3500  LHD CKD (unknown quantity)* 
430 - 3500S  UK (1 or 2 rumoured to have been built, totally  
unsubstantiated) 
431 - 3500S RHD  Export (not built) 
432 - 3500S RHD  CKD (not built) 
433 - 3500S  Federal LHD (2043 built) 
434 - 3500S LHD  CKD (not built) 
*BMIHT at  Gaydon do not hold records for the CKD kit cars - Rover obviously 
had the theory  that if they weren?t  assembling the cars there was no point 
in keeping records of  them. 
The 430-434  series would appear to be the 3500S (the automatic luxury Series 
I V8) - not the  manual Series II with the same name (confused, you will  
be!) 
When you  put the pieces together (the logic being that 412/413 and 414 are 
planned, but  unbuilt 2000S?s) something springs to mind - what was due to be 
in the  420/421/422/423/424 series?  
Was it a  manual 3500 Series I??? (this I think is likely - we know they 
couldn?t get a  strong enough manual box for the car until they used the modified 
2000 one in  1971?) 
Cheers 
Nick

Chris, Does this mean 2043 of the 3500S were sent to the US, or were part of 
those sent to Canada? I knew they were rare, but never knew exact figures.

Chris, Does this mean 2043 of the 3500S were sent to the US, or were part of

those sent to Canada? I knew they were rare, but never knew exact figures.

I have a parts manual issued September 1966, Part No. 4816
On page 135, there is a note:
Switch for flashers and horns**545135.. except America. Dollar area
Switch for headlight flasher and foglamp**551238**America. Dollar area

My submission is that "NADA" meant:
North America Dollar Area, meaning U.S.A. and Canada
(ie not Mexico)

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] P6 boot lid alignment
Message-ID: <3D209B522A424508892C7DDFB78B27FB@VISTA>

My SC would take water in the boot when there was a strong wind with rain.
So I finally decided to act (this year we have had lots of that).
I lay in the boot while son closed it and hosed.
The hosing turned out to be optional, from inside I could see daylight 
around most of the RHS.
Took the lid off, examined hinges.
It looked like there were washers under the right hinge, and the RHS of the 
lid needed to be lower.
Took hinge out (noting the generous 1mm clearance this time).
No washers - the mounting point was just high.
The boot lid and hinges are one of the very few non adjustable parts of the 
P6, but they often need it.
So I measured the hinge and it in the vyce to rebend it.
I opened up the bend to the lid mount section, and closed up the u bend.
All went well.
The lid now sits down.  The RHS rear needs to be closer in, so I will file 
the hinge mounting holes so I can slide it forward (ie. make it 
adjustable!).  I have done that before, with success.
Stay tuned.

James,

2043 NADA-spec 3500S's were built in total. Out of those, most were sent to
the US and Canada - about a 70/30% split I believe

NADA = North American Dollar Area

Regards,

Chris

Chris, Does this mean 2043 of the 3500S were sent to the US, or were part of

those sent to Canada? I knew they were rare, but never knew exact figures.

Gianluca,

N/S/R would be "Near Side Rear".  (N/S/F = Near Side Front, O/S/F =  
Off Side Front, etc.)

Unfortunately, I can never remember which side is the Near side...

Mark

Hi Gianluca,

NSR = near side rear
OSR = off side rear

Near side = Left hand side
Off side = Right hand side

FRONT SUSPENSION JOINT DUST COVERS SPLIT = They are talking about the rubber boot over the ball joints on the front suspension. 


Hope that hopes you,

StevenD

Hi there

I always thought that near side and off side used the postion in the car
relating to the pavement/kerb side when driving in the UK (on the left).
Hence near side (nearest the kerb) means the passenger side (left hand side
of the car) and off side (off the kerb) referred to the right hand, driver's
side as he sits on the side nearest the centre of the road but furthest away
from the kerb.

Best regards

Stephen Smith

Barry, try going to a hydraulic hose place. They can usually make one up for you with your fittings. Good luck.
