Eric,

Please let Carlin H. Freeberg know that someone is spamming Rovernet 
members with low-brow political conspiracy-theorist emails using his 
email address as sender. Presumably, someone has hacked into his files 
in order to misuse Rovernet contact information. Hope this is not the 
beginning of a flood of spam.

Glen

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] "Rabbit Ears" and clunking differentials,
	mystery solved
Message-ID: <COL111-DS255BEAE2C5928078EB58D183480@phx.gbl>

Fellow Rovernutters  (Glen of course being the biggest nut of all!)

First, thanks to all of you once again for all of the help and suggestions 
regarding my clunking differential.  Second, I must give all of the credit 
for the solution to the inimitalbe Ruth of ABC----she is simply brilliant.

After checking all the suggestions from everyone, Ruth suggested that I take 
down the 'Rabbit Ears', I.e., the differential plate which hangs from the 
bolts that are accessed in the boot.  I have never been happier in my 
Rovering life to see two clean breaks on the left side of the plate (where 
the most torque goes) on the upper and lower bolt holes.   For all of you 
who have perhaps 'settled' for the idea that your car 'just clunks anyway' I 
would strongly recommend you consider checking the differential plate.

I found a local chap who can weld anything.  We welded both cracks and then 
cut two small plates of 1/8" steel and welded them over the old holes (they 
had been badly 'ground' larger by the shifting bolts due to the cracks), 
redrilled the holes, and voila!  I can now hang a Sherman tank differential 
from those rabbit ears and they'll never crack again.   As an aside, after 
almost 40 years, the right side holes are unscathed.

I have seen one "tear" rather than break cleanly.
We fitted another one after I added a modification.
I welded a plate across the back of it on the left side thus making it a box 
section.
It is only mild steel.

LANCE,

Nice to see a new (at least to me) problem with a neat solution. A 
worthwhile contribution to the Rovernet archives. Many have attempted to 
"imit" Ruth over the years, but she truly is inimitable!

     Eric, Peter and all,

                                 I too was wondering what I was missing out 
on. I don't even get Viagra ad's anymore. And, I don't even have canned 
pork in the house.....

   Regards,

   PS. Eric, I have just got to get onto the picture list, I have a few 
images to share. Managed to get to the Cootha Classic last Sunday arvo for the 
top Twenty. Crowd favourite had a SuperCharged Rover V8 bolted to the back 
of, wait for it, a Suzuki  MightyBoy Shopping Cart. Now that's different!

Bill, 



It is probably not a big thing. I did the same on my MGB after reading the instructions. The "O" rings should be replaced and should be available almost anywhere. I believe that the concern regarding taking them apart is the alignment, but it is pretty straight forward to me. I think that you would have to work at miss-aligning them.

When re-assembling the calipers, I believe you must use brand new bolts. Many calipers are designed so that torqueing the bolts properly actually puts them into ?strain? ? the metal actually stretches, and they will lose strength if torqued again.  Am I right?

  Hi Eric,
             looks like this reply will go to all RoverNet. I have bit the 
bullet and sent my stuff to Yahoo which should come to you first, I hope. I

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know the correct advance curve for a 1968 nada 2000tc with  
10.1:1 compression? Having some trouble and I think it's related to an  
old dizzy advance mechanism. On that note has anyone tried the 123  
ignition electronic distributor?

Many thanks in advance,

Steven

Mark,
Yes, I received an approval request from the Yahoo group server so you're onboard. You can post pictures for other members to see.? I am not an expert on Yahoo groups but it is useful as a back-up in case the main list stops working for some reason or other.
?
The picture posting option is a bonus.

Hi Rovernetters........

Are Rover TC (1971 Series II) front shock bushings exotic in any way or "off 
the shelf"?  Anyone know a cross reference for them - another more common 
application to ask for?

Hoping to make them right by the weekend for the drive to the Third Annual 
Roverphyles' meet at Dirk's in Fitchburg.

Hank

I have one, Ben. and am reasonably sure that I will never use it.  I salvaged it from a wrecked car, and it is in good condition.  I can let you have for the cost of shipping plus whatever you wish to pay for it.

Hi All,

Sorry to reply to my own posting but I have found specs on the TC advance curve and thought I should share details are:

 Lucas 25D4 distributor P/N 41199A 

No advance below 450 RPM
3.5 deg adv @ 600
11 deg adv @ 900
15 deg adv @ 2500

Vacuum adv code 5/8/3 (z)

I'm seriously considering a new electronic dizzy, at the moment I have three candidates I'm looking at:

The 123 Ignition fully electronic dizzy with electronic mappable advance curve, (Downside is cost $390-)
The Mallory Unilite electronic dizzy (optical trigger) with adjustable mechanical advance (About $400-)
And the Pertronix 'Flame Thrower' (horrible name) electronic (magnetic trigger) with mechanical advance. (About $200-)

At the mo the Pertronix wins on price but I'm not sure about the magnetic (hall effect) trigger, has anyone else tried one of these guys?

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Steven

Steve, 



I would have the unit checked on a distributor tester, if you can locate someone in your area with either a Sun or Allen machine. I got into this rather heavily over the past two years and now have two Allen testers to play with. They can check both the mechanical and vacuum advance units and plot the curve. Sometimes tearing them down and giving it a good cleaning and proper lube can make a large difference. There is a rebuilding service at www.advanceddistributors.com that will rebuild your unit for about $130 (worst case situation). He has a form on his we site that requires you to furnish information such as compression ratio, cam, etc. He will then rebuild your distributor and re-curve it to the proper specifications including adjusting for today's lousy fuel quality. Jeff really does know his stuff from the conversations that I had with him. He can also rebuild a vacuum advance unit for about $30. A new one for an MGB goes for about $80 these days. He is located at 1149 Quincy St. Shakopee, MN 55379, PH 612-804-5543. He is out of touch until the 11th according to a note on his web site. Give him a call. I would be glad to run your dizzy on one of my machines, but the shipping charges these days are terrible.

Hall effect triggers are used by most EFI systems.
The variable reluctor sensor is losing the battle there.

I'd go with the 123 and choose curve 0, and set it to 6 degrees static.
The vacuum advance is down on the book figure, however I would try it.

OK I guess my next quesion is going to be where can i get the rubber o rings for the inside of the calipers now.......they are approx 1/2 inch in outer diameter...inner diameter is 5/16 and they are approx 1/16 in thickness...........

I still fail to see why you wouldn't take them apart to rebuild if they have this seal inside..........poor thought design......if the one surface had a lip then the other would fit into it and voila..........they are much easier to work on and clean apart also

Hi PVS

Have you tried the 123? Just interested in any feedback.

Slats, your  recommendation sounds useful. I'll give Geff a call as  
our Jeff McCarthy also mentioned him having rebuilt his 3500s dizzy.

I use Petronix on my P3 and it is the best investment I have made on the car.  However, this does not mean it will solve your dilemma on a P6.

The 123 Ignition fully electronic dizzy with electronic mappable advance curve, (Downside is cost $390-)
The Mallory Unilite electronic dizzy (optical trigger) with adjustable mechanical advance (About $400-)
And the Pertronix 'Flame Thrower' (horrible name) electronic (magnetic trigger) with mechanical advance. (About $200-)

At the mo the Pertronix wins on price but I'm not sure about the magnetic (hall effect) trigger, has anyone else tried one of these guys?

Look forward to hearing from you all!

Steven

A certain Rover agent in Sydney would split calipers, so it can be done.

  OK I guess my next quesion is going to be where can i get the rubber o rings for the inside of the calipers now.......they are approx 1/2 inch in outer diameter...inner diameter is 5/16 and they are approx 1/16 in thickness...........
  I still fail to see why you wouldn't take them apart to rebuild if they have this seal inside..........poor thought design......if the one surface had a lip then the other would fit into it and voila..........they are much easier to work on and clean apart also

The shock absorber plot thickens.  It looks to me as if the car has the 
wrong shocks; compressed length is 11 3/4" stud center to stud center.  The 
twin to that car sitting around here with weight sitting on its suspension 
is about the same length in what must be the middle of it's travel.

I've seen new shocks discussed  on our web site before, but didn't pay 
attention because I didn't think I had the need then.  Anybody know what was 
recommended for the front of these cars?

And one local auto supply (NAPA) tells me that new bushings can't be ordered 
separate from the whole shock kit.

Thanks.......

Hank

Subject: Calipers and Distributors

Although it's been years since I had a set of 3500S calipers apart (in
preparation to putting them on my 2000 TC) I seem to recall that the
internal 'O rings' are not really O rings.  Clearly they are round but their
cross section is square and replacing them with a standard, round cross
section, O ring that is simply the proper diameter may not provide adequate
sealing.  So... reuse the originals if possible, I did and they are still
tight, but if you replace them with O rings be prepared for leaks.  

Regarding the TC advance curve...  the real question is where are you going
to set the initial timing?  Does anyone know whether the advance curve is a
characteristic of that particular engine design or is it a function of the
specified octane rating?  If the answer is required octane rating and since
100 octane is no longer generally available... then you're going to have to
live with constant pinging.  

How do you guys address this issue?

1.  "Square" section O rings start life as round section... and get 
compressed.
I have seen this on the P6 oil feed to the head seal.
I put them in so knew what the section was.

2.  The advance curve was an approximation from the factory.
Weights and springs produce a 2 pole curve.
What is wanted is (at least) a 4 pole curve, which a microprocessor can do.
So, you want -10 at idle, then low advance through 1000 to 2000rpm
and increasing up to 5000rpm.
Fuel changes complicate this, and really mean a remap is desired.
Generally the idle advance was way below this, as the only way to prevent 
pinging at 1500 - 2500rpm even on 98 octane.

Hi Hank,
As I recall there was some dispute over the P6 front shocks.  Some 
claimed the Koni shocks listed were valved backwards for use on a P6.  
Remember they expand on jounce and compress on rebound, unlike most, if 
not all, conventional shock installations.  A 50/50 valving should 
work...or am I getting senile?  Don't anyone answer that.

Roving toward RoveAmerica,
Kent K.

However, in this case, the Oring does start out life as a square  
section. The "crossfeed seal" can be seen here (Or rather, one from a  
current Girling caliper. I think it is the same for all, but not  
sure). http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=1144

50/50 obviously will work fine. The Koni issue, I believe, is that the  
shocks are valved correctly with regards damping, but the adjustable  
aspect is on the rebound which is backwards.

Dad and all,

I have a pair of shocks here sold to me at an autojumble in England as 
new P6 front shocks.  They are labeled Monroe Belgium and have numbers 
B8E73 and 3208 on them.  They unfortunately have no bushings.  They feel 
like they have more resistance extending than compressing.

I may be able to get these shocks to you before the meet, or at least at 
the meet.

A quick look on Moss Motors website and they do not list bushings 
separately for rear shocks.

Does NAPA or any others list shock bushings by dimension rather than 
application?  Maybe something oversize could be cut down.

Hi Hank,
As I recall there was some dispute over the P6 front shocks.? Some claimed the Koni shocks listed were valved backwards for use on a P6.? Remember they expand on jounce and compress on rebound, unlike most, if not all, conventional shock installations.? A 50/50 valving should work...or am I getting senile?? Don't anyone answer that.

Roving toward RoveAmerica,
Kent K.

There is only one alternative to Yahoo groups that I know, Google
Groups.

I administer two mailing lists, one uses Yahoo, the other I have set
up in Google. There is little real difference between them I have
picked. Both require a log on to get to the posting pages for pics and
files.

BTW one of the groups I administer is for Rover 75/MGZT owners. If
there are any of these on the list that would like to join let me
know.

One alternative to picture posting may be to set up a Flickr photo
sharing group. It is pretty easy to do, and to administer. Flickr is
owned by Yahoo, so if you already have a Yahoo log on you can log on
to Flickr as well.

The Yahoo group I am suggesting is a back-up list to the main Rovernet list.? That would be the group of people I could contact to explain why the main list went t******ts up.? :-)

It *also* happens to have photo posting/viewing options.

They're worth what someones prepared to pay ;) (flippant answer)

You could Ebay them to see the 'market' value. (serious answer)

Seriously though Ben I will have need of a pair in the future as part of my '64 rebuild. What make are they? Genuine Rover or Quinton Hazell? There are some remanufactured ones on Ebay but the quality of these always worrys me as past experiences of 're-manufactured' parts suggest the quality of them can be considerably less than the original, in the case of a top ball joint failing after 18 months.

I now find myself in the situation of having to buy a new rear spring for the P4 as the top leaf has broken and it's failed is annual Ministry test (MOT). have no choice but to cross fingers and but a pattern part. :(

You can get the bushings as separate items from me in the UK. I also have some complete original Woodhead shock absorbers.

The shock absorber plot thickens. It looks to me as if the car has the wrong shocks; compressed length is 11 3/4" stud center to stud center. The twin to that car sitting around here with weight sitting on its suspension is about the same length in what must be the middle of it's travel.?
?
I've seen new shocks discussed on our web site before, but didn't pay attention because I didn't think I had the need then. Anybody know what was recommended for the front of these cars??
?
And one local auto supply (NAPA) tells me that new bushings can't be ordered separate from the whole shock kit.?
?
Thanks.......?

Hi Pierre
           I'm not sure how to tell the difference, these appear to be good quality. They are marked on the bottom of each end 'Made in Great Britian'. and on the rubber boots they are marked 09-121-9.

Hi Alan
          Sorry about your P4 rear spring, I had several here (gone now) but you can probably buy one in the UK cheaper than the cost of postage from here!!! I think these tie rods are original equip, they certainly look to be good quality. However there appears to be lots of good used ones available, I have at least two more here and plenty more out west.
                  Cheers Ben

Well Ben I still have my fingers crossed as Pierre thinks he may have one in storage. As you say I'm more fortunate than some who would have to pay a fortune to ship from the UK. 

I'm sure if you list the side rods they will sell even if the shipping is a bit on the 'expensive' side. International shipping is a strange business with different countries having differnet 'money saving' schemes In UK it's the 'small packet' so under 2kg then it is quite cheap but over and it soon ramps up and lets face it how many parts are under 2kg?

I suppose you could always toss them in the sea and rely on the Gulf Stream.... :) 

Regards

Alan (partviking)

Dear Ben,

If they have the part number you mentioned on them, they are almost certainly genuine ones.? The nasty repro ones are made up from two track rod ends attached to a bar, so if they are one piece castings they are certainly better than that.

Regards,

Pierre

Hi Pierre

?????????? I'm not sure how to tell the difference, these appear to be good quality. They are marked on the bottom of each end 'Made in Great Britian'. and on the rubber boots they are marked 09-121-9.

Thanks to all for the shocking responses.

Steve, it would be great if you could bring those shocks to Dirk's this 
weekend.

In the meantime I'll piece something together from Plan B or C.  I'll take 
the drive out to the barn this afternoon to see what shocks linger on old 
suspension units out there, the newest of which may be from the Dan's 3500 
we broke up a while ago.  I wonder whether they would fit dimensionally, 
even if the damping is perhaps stiffer.  There are others from cars we 
stripped up to 30 years ago.  I wonder at the odds of any working units on 
those.

Then there is the "twin" car here with close to 100k miles on it, but no 
rust.  Those shocks could be pulled and may sufficiently work for the short 
term.

As to bushings I've found some thirty year old NOS bushings around which 
will work for a bit it the hard rubber can be compressed enough to get the 
cotter in place on the bottom stud.  The nut on the top stud surely will 
compress the hardest bushings enough to work for the short term.  A couple 
of these NOS bushings are "hard as a rock"!

Given your numbers, Steve, I'll stop at the local Monroe dealer to see if 
they could possibly be ordered.

I can see this saga will continue for a while, but the car will get to 
Fitchburg!

Hank

   Hi All,
            My money is on the 123. If you have a Carb. car, you pull the 
Kettering Stuff and drop the 123 in the hole. Make sure you have the right 
bit with the right gear on the bottom.  From memory the 123 has 16 immediately 
diallable advance curves. 

    So, if you get the right 123, installed, you go for a drive, to dial it 
in. Then you realise the other probs that you have to solve. CD type carbs 
are so hard to get perfect but then Webers you need boxes of jets, emulsion 
tubes, chokes and maybe even completely different bodies. 

   Sort the 123, then the CD's (or S.U.'s), go over them again and drive 
the gadget. If things are not coming right check comps, valve timing and bump 
lift. A fail here prob means a head off for "FingerNail"  Bore Test. Petrol 
test on the Valves and a Dial Guage  on the Bump Stick.

    If I get far enough down the track and build a Full House Carb Rover 
V8, I'll drop 123 in if I can afford it. I'll try Jaycar kit stuff first if I 
have the time. 123 in Oz. is about 2/3 of a weeks take-home pay in my round 
town death trap. 123 is probably worth it for the reduction in pain and 
suffering.  I have said enough.

    Regards,
                   MWJ.

I am still mystified as to why one would choose an after market distributor over having the original rebuilt to the proper specifications at one-third of the cost. The originals were good for many hundreds of thousands of miles and can be converted to electronic with a Pertronix for under $100.

Ben,
The picture of one repro side rod I have seen on eBay and on the producing company's website looks like two track rod ends with a short connecting bar. I haven't seen one "in the flesh".? That production method would suit an "economy of scale" as they also sell.............track rod ends? :-)

Hi Slats,

as I've mentioned I've had very little luck with a Pertronix unit used with my dizzy and a dynamo charged system. It may be an issue somewhere else but I think not. So Say I got another Pertornix unit (as I have donated my old one to a friend's car) That's $100- add the cost of a rebuild and re-curve $100- to $130- We're up to $230-. The gap has closed a bit.

Now if I buy an after market dizzy that allows me to modify the curve with relative ease while it's still installed in the car that helps for a number of scenarios. 

(1) I find that the curve on my car as set by the factory is not suitable for today's fuel or driving conditions.

(2) I decide to move home to the UK and bring the car with me (I would choose to do it as I'm already very fond of my car, besides if I didn't the wife would leave me for the car :-) ) I would need to re-curve again.

(3) If do get the chance to try 100 octane under certain shady circumstances and would like to see how the car is meant to run. I can easily change the curve for that period.

Now I know that Jeff at advanced distributors is really good and as yet I haven't made a definate choice to go down the aftermarket route but I have pretty much had it with my 25D4 and it's strange behavior.

I'll give Jeff a call once he's back from vacation (this Thursday I think) and see what happens. But it doesn't hurt to check out the options, especially if I have the above scenarios to consider.

Thanks for your comments though, they do make me think about these things a little harder and make sure I'm doing the right thing.

Cheers,

Steven

 There are lots of people in the UK who can rebuild leaf springs , fabricate new leaves etc , look in the small ads of The Automobile [ The superior motoring magazine for ? our type of motor car ? ], or Practical Comics ? the Bodgers magazine; to find a  local shop

They're worth what someones prepared to pay ;) (flippant answer)

You could Ebay them to see the 'market' value. (serious answer)

Hi Steven, 



If the Pertronix worked in the other car, then it was not the Pertronix that was the problem. It may still be an ignition problem however. All the Pertronix does is replace the mechanical switch (the points) with an electronic one. And all either of them do is create a 12 volt DC square wave for the coil (a transformer) to amplify into 20,000-30,000 volts. The mechanical and or vacuum advance can make quite a bit of difference. I have torn down probably 25 to 30 25D4's over the past few months and some of the things that I found are astounding. The mechanical portions are very easy to analyze to wear, sticking, etc. In reality the only really big thing in the distributor, are the springs and cam. If all is free to move and not overly worn, the cam limits how far the maximum mechanical advance will travel and the springs govern the rate. There are only?two types of weights that I have seen, so that is not a big factor. The cam has a number stamped on it that gives the maximum number of degrees that it will advance. If you want more, you simply grind off a little metal and it will advance further. If you want less, weld a little metal on or put a sleeve on the post that it contacts. If you have the correct cam and weights, all that leaves?are the springs. You can basically make any 25D4 into whatever you want it to be by changing the cam, weights and particularly the springs. So, Jeff could modify yours to meet the specifications that should be correct for you engine and fuel very easily. That is after ensuring that all else (bushings, freedom of movement and correct components) is as should be. The problem may or may not be the distributor. I recently worked on my wife's 92 Toyota Previa, that was running poorly. All it took was a new set of spark plugs.?It only had 106,000 on the plugs. I must say, 210,000 miles on the vehicle and I have had to change the plugs twice already. I miss-read the owners manual, it says 100,000 kms not 100,000 miles. It is a real bother to change those plugs with that mid-engine mounting. First you remove the passenger seat, than a panel, then a cover, etc, etc. It is about a two hour job to change four plugs. 



I would bet that if you giot into your distributor, you will find that it probably has the cam stuck to the center shaft and it will not turn freely. That is why you are supposed to put a drop or two of oil down on the screw under the rotor. If you do choose to investigate and attempt repairs yourself, use a little (very little)distributor cam grease (lube) on any surface that shows signs of rubbing or wear. You might be amazed at the results, when everything is free to move. A Pertronix would do nothing for these types of things. Good luck.

Hi Slats, 

as I've mentioned I've had very little luck with a Pertronix unit used with my dizzy and a dynamo charged system. It may be an issue somewhere else but I think not. So Say I got another Pertornix unit (as I have donated my old one to a friend's car) That's $100- add the cost of a rebuild and re-curve $100- to $130- We're up to $230-. The gap has closed a bit. 

Now if I buy an after market dizzy that allows me to modify the curve with relative ease while it's still installed in the car that helps for a number of scenarios. 

(1) I find that the curve on my car as set by the factory is not suitable for today's fuel or driving conditions. 

(2) I decide to move home to the UK and bring the car with me (I would choose to do it as I'm already very fond of my car, besides if I didn't the wife would leave me for the car :-) ) I would need to re-curve again. 

(3) If do get the chance to try 100 octane under certain shady circumstances and would like to see how the car is meant to run. I can easily change the curve for that period. 

Now I know that Jeff at advanced distributors is really good and as yet I haven't made a definate choice to go down the aftermarket route but I have pretty much had it with my 25D4 and it's strange behavior. 

I'll give Jeff a call once he's back from vacation (this Thursday I think) and see what happens. But it doesn't hurt to check out the options, especially if I have the above scenarios to consider. 

Thanks for your comments though, they do make me think about these things a little harder and make sure I'm doing the right thing. 

Cheers, 

Steven

Thanks for the tip Patrick, 

The problem I had was getting the old one off, getting it rebuilt and getting it back on within the 10 day period to avoid the ?54 re-test fee. In the overall scheme of things not fortunes but nice to avoid having to pay it if you can.

Fortunately Pierre Janusz has come through with one which I'm collecting tonight, I can then get the old one rebuilt by Brost Forge in London (recommended by two P4 forum members) at my liesure and replace the other side as I'm sure poor old Aunty will be a little 'drunk' at the rear end once the new on is on!

Regards

Alan (partviking)

 There are lots of people in the UK who can rebuild leaf springs
, fabricate new leaves etc , look in the small ads of The Automobile [ The
superior motoring magazine for ? our type of motor car ? ], or Practical Comics
? the Bodgers magazine; to find a  local shop

HI Slats,

I don't know if my friend has fitted the pertornix (hes back home in London, i'll have to email him). But it seemed that the dwell (virtual I know) was too narrow. The Crane unit I fitted however worked great apart from an irregular spark on No.1 plug. I think that was down to internal arcing to the mounitng hardware for the optical trigger inside the cap. I used silicon rubber as a insulator (At Crane's service tech's suggestion) and that certainly helped the situation, but not completely.

I think I'll give Jeff a call tomowwor when he's back. I know the cams are fine, and they move freely, my guiess is the springs have had it and some!

Cheers,

Steven

Early P6 systems gave Rover a few headaches (as well as their customers) as they struggled to get rid of the droning resonance that afflicted the cars. They eventually settled on a 2 can system which had the tailpipe silencer and the other short one as it goes over the driveshafts and then eventually changed to the 3 can system that added the small silencer under the gearbox . Both had a straight through pipe to the first silencer.

However they all fit (though not all the parts may be interchangeable) and personally I quite like the 'throb' of a 4 pot P6. My 64 car has the silencer in the downpipe between the naifold and the starter motor and sounds Grrreeaaattttttt! :)

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a source for the lower heater hose for the P6 2000 TC.  My September 74 book refers to the part number as 574876.  No go with Scotts.  Can it be made from a more common V8 hose ?

Also the 90 degree hose from the top of the thermostat housing that connects with the steel pipe that extends down the length of the block and into the top heater hose.  Part number 574873.

Thanks   

Cheers from Oz

Ruth or Pierre can help you out. Both hoses are tough to fake, they  
both have different diameters at either end.

Some time ago, I took a diagram of the S-shaped heater hose for theV-8 to a
rubber company in Dayton Ohio. They made 2 for me, free of charge! I may
still have one, if anyone needs.

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know of a source for the lower heater hose for the P6 2000 TC.
My September 74 book refers to the part number as 574876.  No go with
Scotts.  Can it be made from a more common V8 hose ?

 

Also the 90 degree hose from the top of the thermostat housing that connects
with the steel pipe that extends down the length of the block and into the
top heater hose.  Part number 574873.

 

Thanks   

 

Cheers from Oz

The last time I replaced those hoses on my Rover 2000 automatic, I matched them up at Sprint autoparts. I think that the heater hoses are common to a JD Camira, and an XF Falcon. I did write down what they were, but that note book is over the other side of the world. Find a friendly parts store which will let you got out the back and match up through all the hoses they have there, and you should be able to find one which matches. Sprint Edwardstown, Adelaide is where I did this.

James.

Hi
 
I am restoring a 3500S in Los Angeles but this is not mine. Funnily enough mine will be black too but it won't be a right hander like this one. And it won't look as good as this either I am sure. And I thought my car was rare in LA. Not as rare as this!!!! Nice job, whoever owns this......

It's odd that they went to all that trouble and didn't get the steering

This is my Rover P6B, I drove her the 125 miles each way to the LA Concourse 
on Sunday and received 2nd place in class for my efforts..

Glenn, I have to tell you, the steering is on the "right side" not the wrong 
side or even the
other side"

She has all Rover original options including power steering, Rover factory 
air conditioning, power windows, the original leather seats, leather bound 
steering wheel, touring kit on the boot, Lucas lights (which work as does 
the clock which surprises the judges, I restored the clock movement myself). 
I brought her with me when I moved to California, hence the steering wheel 
is on the "right side".

David

Adrian,

now I know where to keep an eye out for wire wheels...
I live in the Santa Ynez valley if you are ever this way.

If you are hoping to show your P6 and it will have wire wheels don't have 
them chromed or use a stainless steel exhaust system, if you do you will 
loose points.
The judges commented they were pleased to see paint on the wheels and steel 
mufflers.

Nice car!

Let me know where you live; I will come round and steal your wire wheels for 
my '69!!  If you come back and find the car on bricks you know who's been 
'round to call.....

Adrian (also expat, of course)

David,

This is a real beauty! I speak as one who was unable to adjust to 
driving my RHD P4. I'm a Wilson, but my English genetic mix must be 
somewhat watered down!

Hi, guys......I am rebuilding a Girling rear caliper and need the small pin that operates the lever within the caliper housing.  It is about half an inch long, one end bevelled to engage the spot on the lever.  If anyone has one, please tape it against a cardboard and mail it to me
at l975 Dogwood Drive, Courtenay, B. C. V9N-3B1 Canada.
Contact me first at ianalice at shaw.ca and I'll arrange to send you it's cost plus postage.   Thanks in advance,     Ian Potts

I tried the same thing a while back and you don't have to take the whole carb off, only the inlet section fixed by three bolts (one of which is a pain to remove). I was also trying to find TDC and I gave up as the valve movement is so tiny it was impossible to do it. I wanted to do it properly and use a stop in the spark plug hole but I could not be bothered to take the radiator and the air conditioning cooler off to get at the flywheel. So I still don't know exactly where it is!

I can move the flywheel with a socket..but I am not 100% sure if the TDC is on the intake or exhaust stroke...so by seeing the valves I figure this will be the way to be sure.

 I gave up on removing that carb neck...I presumed it was not possible...but now I will go back and try to get it off again ...thanks.

Message-ID: <c54.4ed97be6.3766479c@aol.com>



   Slats and all,
                       Yes, it is a decision. I have several SD1's. One of 
which I plan to keep completely original and get up to Concorse condition. 
All components Original. Maybe upgrade some internals but externally as new. 
Pass any Concorse inspection.

    The SD1 has several Achille's heels, injection and ignition  parts that 
don't last and are now unobtainable. Problems.

   When we get back to basic post Model T Kettering Spark makers, 
especially those from the Lord of Darkness, we are really going to have to keep an 
eye out for modern improvements.

   In the days when I was on the spanners, a hundred thousand mile dizzy 
was in a car that was 5-9 years old. There were exceptions such as Taxi's,  
which had their own maintenance regimes and the "Rep's" and Outback cars. A 
car that had been around "The Clock" was almost stuffed.  The diff was 
probably OK, the body was tired and worn, dirty, chipped. A Manual GearBox needed 
help, had already had a clutch. Auto's had bigger probs, completly 
inscrutable. The head had been off for burnt Valves that also showed up a worn bore.

   You could drop a long motor in these things but they were never "Born 
Again". All the bits that you screwed back in let them down. They did go 
better but never went as new. The "OverHauled- ReGround" Bump Stick still had a 
worn dizzy drive gear on it.  The dizzy dropped back in had a gear on the 
bottom that was three times more worn. Then there is the bush that has been 
shoved off to one side and all the slop that introduces.  Then there are the 
advance plates, points cam, shaft etc. etc. etc.

    How much money do we have to spend to fix a worn dizzy. In Oz the Pro 
Spanners are charging $70 - 105  per hour Oz.  An Oz Dollar gets about 80 US 
cents at the moment.  How many hours are we going to spend fixing tired 
dizzies?   Slats, the bloke you advertise is either very heroic or is taking 
shortcuts. His Dizzy is about $225 Oz including Vac..  A 123 is about $800 Oz 
and you can dial your own.. Brand New. We are not stuck with our ole mates 
guess at how our own donk works.  Then there is them worn points plate bushes 
that never seem to get fixed. We have our Kettering points opening and 
shutting with the condenser to look  after the electrical bounce like turning a 
tap off hard.

   Pertronix only replaces the Kettering Switch and condensor. All them 
other worn parts are still there. They do have their place, all you are 
replacing is the points. Easy.What about the springs, weights, pivots,etc. All been 
whirling around for decades.

  The 123 is a drop in replacement for an entire ignition, without going to 
a dizzy - less setup. Something like a spark box on the early Cozzie 
DFV's..

    My only objections to 123 are cost, haven't had my hands on one and in 
certain circumstances, the Concource Problem. Slats, if I get into the 
situation where a 123 is the obvious solution, I will buy one. Give me a couple 
of years.

    Could say some more but the memory has shrunk.

    Regards All,
                       MWJ.

    P.S.
           A little bit distracted at the moment. Have Le Mans Finish on 
the other screen. Sad, looks like Audi is going to get knocked off ( I have 
two Audi's) but it appears David Brabham, son of Jack, has been a driver of 
the leading Car.  38 minutes to go.

   Regards All.

With respect to the 3500S TDC search:  what about viewing the mark on the
crank pulley against the timing marks on the timing cover?  Is this
method close enough?   I imagine with the A/C and power steering that
viewing these might be a bit difficult...

 That works fine however how do you know for certain if it's on the exhaust or intake stroke ?? I have tried it that way and I am almost (key word) but not 100% sure...

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I am trying to do the same to my 3500S. I also have the 2000TC/3500S combo here in LA. I am thinking about having the interior re-upholstered and i love the color you selected, but the only thing that I am concened about is the price. What sort of wallet damage could one expect for the seats and door cards? 
 
PS. What's the exterior color? I like that too!

I just got back to the computer after enjoying all day Saturday at 
RoveAmerica 2009 hosted by Dirk Burrowes in Massachusetts. I was only 
able to be there for one of the three days (and yes, it was the day that 
featured all of the free food), but I had a simply wonderful time. I 
attended with my wife, Claire, my son, James, and my dog , Sherman (the 
dog is adopted; I didn't choose that name). All of us were made welcome 
and catered to for the whole day. As Rover meets go, this was a pretty 
spectacular event. I  believe that around ten people arrived in Rovers 
of all sorts. These complimented Dirk's personal collection which is 
extensive. Dirk has some pretty special cars including three pre-war 
Rovers, two Cyclopses, and an exquisite little P3 75 which was in pieces 
only two weeks ago when I had a chance to stop by and visit Dirk.

As I said, RoveAmerica 09 was a pretty spectacular shindig. The great 
thing about an event like this is that between the food, the cars, the 
people and the venue, it's not too hard to justify spending some serious 
travel money and using some precious vacation time in order to attend. I 
only traveled a few hundred miles, but I was finally able to meet  some 
good Rover friends that live at a great distance. Some of you who have 
been on the Rovernet for a long time may be surprised to hear that I had 
never met Eric Russell (Vancouver, BC), Kent Kinard (San Antonio, TX) or 
Bill Daddis (Toronto, Ontario) in person. It was great to finally shake 
a hand or share a bear hug with someone you've been talking to on the 
internet for thirteen or fourteen years. I also had an opportunity to 
spend a little time with some Rover friends I hadn't seen for a few 
years and had fallen out of touch with. For me, this was a special and 
moving experience.

There were a number of cars at this meet that might earn top honors in a 
concours judging and several that had traveled around the world once or 
twice to get to Fitchburg, but the highlight for me was seeing Dave 
LaChance coming down the road in his April Yellow 2000TC. Several years 
ago, Jose Scoseria and Tony Lavigna met me down in Falls Church, VA and 
helped me get this car out of the garage where it had sat for over 30 
years and onto their trailer. I had promise the original owners that 
their beloved Rover would go to a good home and not end up in some junk 
yard. I didn't have the energy to do the job myself, but when Dave 
LaChance was looking for a Rover, I passed it on to him. I'm very proud 
that this slightly sorry-looking but rust-free beauty is now a runner 
and will evade the crusher for a good many years. Without the help of 
Jose and Tony, I could never have gotten this car back to my garage and 
save it from being scrapped. I hope they are reading this and feel as 
good as I do that it is running again.

Well, anyway, Rover people are the best! Thank you, Dirk for sponsoring 
and organizing RoveAmerica 09.  We had a great time!

Which is why I have put in a Wolf ECU and electronic distributor. Goes
like the wind now, mind you it is a 4l warm motor, 5 sp gearbox.


Not bothering with concours condition, already too many of them in the
Club. I am going racing!! The old girl has been taken off the road for
a while, will put her on Club Plates. Going to strip her down, put a
roll cage in, racing seats and harness, sticky tyres and off I go.

Hi Adrian, 

I wonder if ....... you unscrew the first plug until it is nearly out.  Turn the crank and you should hear air hissing past the plug threads on the compression stroke.  On the exhaust stroke the exhaust valve is open and there will be no build up of pressure to so there will be no such noise.  What does everyone else suggest? Cheers Rog

  I can move the flywheel with a socket..but I am not 100% sure if the TDC is on the intake or exhaust stroke...so by seeing the valves I figure this will be the way to be sure.
   I gave up on removing that carb neck...I presumed it was not possible...but now I will go back and try to get it off again ...thanks.

I was also trying to find TDC and I gave up as the valve movement is so tiny it was impossible to do it. I wanted to do it properly and use a stop in the spark plug hole but I could not be bothered to take the radiator and the air conditioning cooler off to get at the flywheel. So I still don't know exactly where it is!

Bill,
      Be careful here, that looks like 2000 3.54 rear end to me, oil filler 
is in the wrong place and the front mount is a 2000 the 3500 goes almost 
right across the car.
Just my observation.
Barry

Hi 

 Does any one have a reference number for an "Off the shelf " replacement
fan belt ??? This must be a common spare used by r V8 Land rovers early
range Rovers . MgB v8s , even elderly Buicks etc ???My belt is probably the
original and is showing signs of terminal , ever increasing stretching under
load .

 It's either that or the Prince of Darkness is about to cook my alternator
!!

Cheers

They used to actually sell a device you screwed into the spark plug hole 
that would whistle as you approached TDC on the compression stroke. I 
came into this late, Dennis, but wouldn't you be able to determine TDC 
for your cylinder by checking the position of the distributor rotor 
relative to the correct spark plug wire as the piston hits the top of 
its travel? Should only be pointing at that wire at the top of the 
compression stroke. Sorry if you've already covered this or if I'm 
working on incomplete information.

That would work fin Glen but what has happened to give a bit of background ...I store my Rover inside every winter and in the spring (a couple of years ago) I started it and realized there was no oil pressure...I shut it off (forgetting that I had disconected the sending unit wire the previous fall) and never got back around to working on it untill late fall...by then I decided to try pumping the oil from the base of the distributor...good plan ...then I remembered what I had done ...lol... 

 Now since I had the distributor already off my father figured it was a good thime to upgrade the ignition...wrong !! this started a chain of events that only two guys with crappy memories could create...lol

 So eventually we got the distrubitor in place and the car was running (kind of rough ) and suddently (like the key was turned off) it quit...it would try to start yet it would not run...no backfires yet a mystery. We then set the dist again ...still nothing ... we then decided that perhaps the timing gear/chain may be the culprit...I bought a new set and now before I install it I wish to try just once more to set the timing ...I removed the valve cover and if the valves are open (I think that's right...the book will confirm) and the flywheel is at TDC...the distributor should be able to set in place and point directly at # 1 cylinder..should it not ?  If it won't then I presume this will be confirmation that the timing chain/gear set has jumped...again ...am I correct ???

Not if the valves on #1 are open!
They should be firmly shut with flywheel at TDC, then the dizzy points at #1 plug lead.
#6 valves will both be open.

Not if the valves on #1 are open!
They should be firmly shut with flywheel at TDC, then the dizzy points at #1 plug lead.
#6 valves will both be open.

That would work fin Glen but what has happened to give a bit of background ...I store my Rover inside every winter and in the spring (a couple of years ago) I started it and realized there was no oil pressure...I shut it off (forgetting that I had disconected the sending unit wire the previous fall) and never got back around to working on it untill late fall...by then I decided to try pumping the oil from the base of the distributor...good plan ...then I remembered what I had done ...lol...

They used to actually sell a device you screwed into the spark plug hole that would whistle as you approached TDC on the compression stroke. I came into this late, Dennis, but wouldn't you be able to determine TDC for your cylinder by checking the position of the distributor rotor relative to the correct spark plug wire as the piston hits the top of its travel? Should only be pointing at that wire at the top of the compression stroke. Sorry if you've already covered this or if I'm working on incomplete information.

Dennis,

Here's a classic overly long Wilson epistle. You probably know this 
stuff, but maybe there's someone out there who knows even less than I do 
who will benefit from this exercise in wordiness. At worst, someone who 
knows what they are doing will speak up and correct me.

I've done all of those things along the way. I've removed the dizzy and 
cleaned off my reference mark. I've also managed to get the plug wires 
in all the wrong places.

Point 1:  At TDC, the valve stems should be fully up with the rocker 
arms not pushing them down. The valve springs hold them up. If I 
remember correctly, there may even be the slightest bit of open space 
between the rocker arms and the tops of the valve stems.

Point 2:  Because there is an angle to the teeth of of the distributor 
drive, the distributor shaft and rotor will always turn a little bit as 
the gears engage at the bottom. So, you have to position the distributor 
so that the rotor is a little bit ahead of where you think it will end 
up. As you push the dizzy in, the rotor will turn a few degrees.

Point 3:  A lot of this is pointless if you have installed the ignition 
wires in the wrong places. You need to check the firing order and run 
the wires accordingly. If the wires are already in place, you need to 
have the distributor body "in the ballpark" so that you have enough 
range to finalize the timing by rotating the body.

Point 4:  On your last point, I may be a bit hazy. Maybe Kent will be 
back online soon! The timing chain really sets the timing between the 
crankshaft and the camshaft. If this relationship is not correct, the 
valves will not be closed when the piston is in firing position (TDC). 
This is essential. You can carefully insert a long thin screwdriver or 
metal coat hanger in through the spark plug hole. As the piston comes 
up, the wire or screwdriver will rise to a certain point and then start 
to go back in. When the piston is at its furthest travel upwards toward 
the spark plug, you are at TDC. At that point, look at your valves. If 
you are at TDC on an IGNITION stroke, the valve stems should be fully up 
indicating that the valves are closed. If the piston is at the top of 
its travel on an EXHAUST stroke, the intake valve will be closed (stem 
up) and the exhaust valve will be open (stem down). 

If you have any other valve positions than the two described above, you 
would have to have slipped a number of teeth with the timing chain. I 
assume that if you are a tooth or two off in one direction, the engine 
would run poorly. If you were a tooth or two off in the other direction, 
you could end up with the spark plug igniting the mixture early enough 
to be forcing the piston down as it is mechanically driven up.

The mechanical timing between the crankshaft and camshaft is either dead 
on or it's off with a standard non-adjustable timing chain. If the 
screwdriver is at its peak sticking out of the hole and the valves are 
closed, you are probably okay. (You could always pull the entire front 
of the engine off to look at the gears, to be100% sure.) I'm not sure 
how often the 3500S engines jump teeth on the timing gear, but I would 
think that it is not that common because all the bits are solid metal. I 
might expect some slop or inconsistency in the timing due to the chain 
stretching over time, but you might never notice it. The SD1 engine left 
the factory with a crappy timing gear made out of fiber. These always 
went bad at some point.

If it looks like you are at TDC with the screwdriver test, it is 
worthwhile to try setting the spark timing. In the simplest terms, 
ignition should occur at TDC with both valves closed. Your engine will 
run at this setting. To optimize power and driveability, you should set 
the timing as the manual states, either a few degrees before or after 
TDC. This is done at a low rpm when the distibutor weights are not 
spinning fast enough to be affecting the position of the points, and 
with the vacuum advance disconnected (plug the rubber tube because it's 
a vacuum leak) so that the vacuum advance is not changing the position 
of the points.

If my brain's working tonight, the static timing is on when the valves 
are close, the piston is at TDC, and the ignition points are just 
opening (firing).  So, rotate the engine to be at TDC on the ignition 
stroke. Put the distributor into the hole in the engine and fully seat 
it. Now, figure out which is the correct wire to go to the cylinder you 
are working on. Maybe put a mark on the distributor body below this wire 
so that you have a reference point when the cap and wires are off. Turn 
the distributor body until the rotor is causing that wire to get spark. 
That's your static timing. If you can't rotate the distributor body far 
enough in either direction to achieve this, you can pull the distributor 
carefully up with you hand on the rotor. The rotor will turn as you 
lift. When it stops turning, the gears have disengaged. Now carefully 
rotate the rotor a few degrees in the direction it needs to go. Hold it 
there and reseat the dizzy, allowing the rotor to rotate a little as the 
gears re-engage. You should now see that the rotor is closer to or 
farther away fro where you want it. If it's within the range of 
adjustment you have when you rotate the dizzy body, your in business. 
When you start the car and do the dynamic timing with a timing light, 
you will have to rotate the body again a few degrees in one direction or 
the other. For this reason, you need to be more or less in the center of 
what you can adjust with the distributor body.

Obviously, someone could have put the wires in the wrong places on the 
distributor cap. If it looks like everything is correct and distributor 
is sitting in a more or less normal position and your rotor is pointing 
at wire for some other cylinder, it's possible that all of the wires 
have to be moved around on the distributor cap.

Now for the punchline you've all been waiting for...

Damn! There isn't one. You've wasted an hour reading this drivel!

Amen to that! 

Using the timing marks, both valves up on #1, piston at TDC on #1, rotor 
points at wire to #1.

I don't think there's a mark on the V8 flywheel as there is on the TC, 
but there are timing marks. If you've screwed up as many things as I 
have, you should probably still use the old screwdriver in the hole 
trick to be sure the piston is fully up when the plug will fire.

I'm baaaack.

A bit wordy, but pretty accurate.  There will be no clearance between 
rockers and valve stems even at TDC on the V8's because of the hydraulic 
lifters (the lifters actually have a slight amount of preload that holds 
the clearance at zero.)

It's been a while since I have done my spiel on V8 top ends, so here 
goes again. (I'm no less wordy than Glen.)

If you have any reason to work on the top end of a V8 _that has never 
been worked on_ before, there are some things that I strongly 
recommend.  If you try to cut corners here, you will probably wind up 
doing some of the same disassembly over again rather soon.

1.  Pull the heads and do a valve job.  Install hardened seats on 
pre-'80 engines (some would say pre-'82, but I think our NAS SD1 heads 
are OK).  Install oil restrictors in the block to head passage to reduce 
the amount of oil going to the rocker shafts.  The oil restrictors make  
rocker and rocker shaft replacement far less critical.

2. Before reinstalling the heads, set the engine to TDC on number 1 
cylinder using a dial indicator and then _don't move the crank_.

3.  Replace the camshaft with a stock 3.9 L cam.

4.  Replace the timing chain set, preferably with a true roller set.  
The stock chain stretches and will jump time. Install the new set 
following instructions in the shop manual.

5.  Install new lifters (never reuse an old lifter) that have been 
soaked or primed. (It is probably not necessary to check lifter preload 
when using a stock or aftermarket cam with stock .390" of lift.)

6. Install the heads using studs. Run a bottoming tap in the block 
holes.  Torque the studs to 10 ft. lbs.  Use only the ten uppermost bolt 
holes on each side (there are fourteen holes per side on pre-'95 
engines).  Torque nuts to spec.

7. Install the front cover and slip the crank pulley on the crank.  
_Don't let the crank move._ Check the relationship of the TDC mark to 
the pointer and adjust the pointer or re-mark the pulley as necessary.  
Then torque the damper retaining bolt to spec.

8. Now that you are absolutely certain that you have a reliable TDC, 
reread Glen's remarks on scratch timing.

Do not touch the bottom end of a 3.5 or 3.9 unless you have less than 10 
psi oil pressure at idle.  Even then, try replacing the oil pump gears 
or even the whole front cover  and install the oil restrictors in the 
heads first.  Avoid going into the bottom end unless you cannot get the 
oil pressure up another way.

If you must rebuild the bottom end, you will also need to replace the 
cam bearings, enlarge and modify some oil passages, and install oil 
restrictors in the heads.  Install main cap studs.  This assumes that 
your main caps have not fretted and are still tight in the block.

Roverly,
Kent K.

The 123 is undoubtedly a great, albeit costly, option.

For less than a third of the price you can buy a new Lucas 35D8 distributor from Land Rover parts suppliers, and modify it to work optimally for your engine by setting up your own advance curve.

Standard 3.5 Lucas distributor normal bob weights allow 34 degrees total advance (26 degrees mechanical advance + 8 degrees static advance) at about 4,500 rpm.     The 3.9 distributor runs 32 degrees advance.

A 4.6 engine ideally needs 28 degrees of total advance for optimum performance.

On my 4.6 SD1 I set the Lucas distrubutor at 10 degrees BTDC at idle (750rpm) and then modified it to limit the mechanical advance  to18 degrees (10+18=28). To get this I had to restrict the sweep of the bob weights by fitting a metal sleeve over the stop pin to limit the mechanical advance from 26 degrees to 18 degrees.

I then purchased an inexpensive Moroso distributor advance springs kit from the local speed shop ($20) - PN 72310 (which is for a GM HEI dissy but will fit Rover's Lucas dissy), and some 6 inch diam MSD timing tape which I attached  to the crank pulley. This is used with the aid of a hand operated timing light to regraph the distributor.

The two Lucas springs are changed for one "light" and one "medium" Moroso springs (there are six to choose from in the pack) so the mechanical mechanism advances at a faster rate to its fully advanced state of 28 degrees. This all needs to be in by 2500 - 3000 rpm.

I ditched the vacuum advance as the Lucas mechanism is set up for SUs and I'm running an Edelbrock that pulls far too much vaccuum for the Lucas dizzy.

The Lucas vacuum advance will typically provide between 12 and 16 degrees of additional advance over and above the built in mechanical advance which is excessive if you are using an initial advance figure 10-12 degrees. On the nose of the cannister you will find 3 figures, along the lines of 5 17 6. The first two figures relate to the measure of vacuum in inches of mercury, while the last digit refers to the amount of advance provided at the distributor. So 6 degrees at the distributor will show 12 degrees on the crankshaft.

All this makes the engine a lot more responsive, with more torque in the 1,000 - 3,000 rpm range.

   Slats and all,
                       Yes, it is a decision. I have several SD1's. One of which I plan to keep completely original and get up to Concorse condition. All components Original. Maybe upgrade some internals but externally as new. Pass any Concorse inspection.

    The SD1 has several Achille's heels, injection and ignition  parts that don't last and are now unobtainable. Problems.

   When we get back to basic post Model T Kettering Spark makers, especially those from the Lord of Darkness, we are really going to have to keep an eye out for modern improvements.

   In the days when I was on the spanners, a hundred thousand mile dizzy was in a car that was 5-9 years old. There were exceptions such as Taxi's,  which had their own maintenance regimes and the "Rep's" and Outback cars. A car that had been around "The Clock" was almost stuffed.  The diff was probably OK, the body was tired and worn, dirty, chipped. A Manual GearBox needed help, had already had a clutch. Auto's had bigger probs, completly inscrutable. The head had been off for burnt Valves that also showed up a worn bore.

   You could drop a long motor in these things but they were never "Born Again". All the bits that you screwed back in let them down. They did go better but never went as new. The "OverHauled- ReGround" Bump Stick still had a worn dizzy drive gear on it.  The dizzy dropped back in had a gear on the bottom that was three times more worn. Then there is the bush that has been shoved off to one side and all the slop that introduces.  Then there are the advance plates, points cam, shaft etc. etc. etc.

    How much money do we have to spend to fix a worn dizzy. In Oz the Pro Spanners are charging $70 - 105  per hour Oz.  An Oz Dollar gets about 80 US cents at the moment.  How many hours are we going to spend fixing tired dizzies?   Slats, the bloke you advertise is either very heroic or is taking shortcuts. His Dizzy is about $225 Oz including Vac..  A 123 is about $800 Oz and you can dial your own.. Brand New. We are not stuck with our ole mates guess at how our own donk works.  Then there is them worn points plate bushes that never seem to get fixed. We have our Kettering points opening and shutting with the condenser to look  after the electrical bounce like turning a tap off hard.

   Pertronix only replaces the Kettering Switch and condensor. All them other worn parts are still there. They do have their place, all you are replacing is the points. Easy.What about the springs, weights, pivots,etc. All been whirling around for decades.

  The 123 is a drop in replacement for an entire ignition, without going to a dizzy - less setup. Something like a spark box on the early Cozzie DFV's..

    My only objections to 123 are cost, haven't had my hands on one and in certain circumstances, the Concource Problem. Slats, if I get into the situation where a 123 is the obvious solution, I will buy one. Give me a couple of years.

    Could say some more but the memory has shrunk.

    Regards All,
                       MWJ.

    P.S.
           A little bit distracted at the moment. Have Le Mans Finish on the other screen. Sad, looks like Audi is going to get knocked off ( I have two Audi's) but it appears David Brabham, son of Jack, has been a driver of the leading Car.  38 minutes to go.

   Regards All.

Quick update on my question. After hearing from Slats and Geoff McCarthy I spoke with Jeff at Advanced Distributors. So I'm sending the old 25d4 to Jeff tomorrow. I would prefer to keep things somewhat original under the bonnet.

On another note, does anyone know where I can get an exhaust system on the north east coast of the US? Our drive back from Cape Cod today became considerably louder because of a failing first box. 

Cheers and have a good night,

Steven

Which is why I have put in a Wolf ECU and electronic distributor. Goes like the wind now, mind you it is a 4l warm motor, 5 sp gearbox.


Not bothering with concours condition, already too many of them in the Club. I am going racing!! The old girl has been taken off the road for a while, will put her on Club Plates. Going to strip her down, put a roll cage in, racing seats and harness, sticky tyres and off I go.

Hi Netters,
I'll echo Glen's remarks.  RoveAmerica was outstanding!  Dirk is the 
perfect host and his collection is the perfect venue.  It is now a world 
class collection and the addition of the Streamline will make it more so. 

It was great to meet Glen after all these years and I was overjoyed to 
see that he is doing well.  I am always interested in how people get 
into Rovers and am curious about the results of the interviews that were 
conducted at RoveAmerica.  Most of you have been enthusiasts for many 
years and purchased a Rover new or "inherited" the cars from family or 
have some sentimental attachment to them.  Relatively few of you have 
come to Rovers after indulging in other brands.

Since I am one of the few, I was very interested to meet Real Forest 
from Montreal.  Real has an extensive collection of British, French and 
Italian cars ( I forgot to ask if he has a Lancia Appia.) and has come 
to Rovers most recently.  He and Claire drove a P5 Mk. III stick shift, 
a very solid California car.  It is very important to understand how 
people like Real come to Rovers...what attracted them to the marque.  
Most of us are getting up in years.  How do we maintain the interest in 
the marque and who will we pass our cars along to?  There were some cars 
in progress at RoveAmerica and there are some younger enthusiasts out 
there, many of whom are struggling in the present economy.  I hope we 
will continue to encourage them and recruit more. Thanks to Eric Russel 
and RoverNet for doing a great service to us all by keeping us connected 
and giving the next generation access to a wonderful tradition.

Eventually, the automobile as we know it will cease to exist or morph 
into something unrecognizable.  Until then we have a unique contribution 
to make to automotive history and enjoyment.  Thank you all for your 
hard work and thank you Dirk for a wonderful weekend.

Roverly,
Kent K.

Glen and Kent have certainly found the right words to describe '09 
RoveAmerica.  It was a great gathering of souls coming together with a 
common focus on Rovers and humanity - and the humanity behind the Rover 
enterprise from the beginning.

The efforts of Dirk, his family, and vy-tek personnel, Joe Allan, and many 
others are much appreciated.

Kent,

It is unfortunately a continuing problem for all Rover clubs I think.
While we (RCCA) are now getting an increase in membership from Rover
75 owners, as we know there will be no more Rovers, so the source of
new members will probably start drying up.

Encouraging younger members is hard. Younger people tend to be
interested in other types of cars, and dare I say it are discouraged
by their peers from buying old Rovers.

Perhaps us like the cars will disappear in time!!

Hi Kent
            I was very interested to read your email on 'RoveAmerica' 
regarding Real Forest and his P5 mk3. Unless he has more than one this is 
the car I sold to him three or four years ago. It was gray with red interior 
(recently re-done in leather touch upholstery) a four speed with overdrive. 
I'm not sure this car was ever from California, I do know it spent the great 
part ( circa 1973) of its life in Yarmouth Nova Scotia. It belonged to the 
owner of the Yarmouth Grand Hotel, when he died the car sat in the garage 
until his wife was moved into a nursing home and the car was sold at an 
estate auction. A local garage bought it but couldn't get it running, I 
bought it from them in 2000 and had it trailered home to PEI. Replacement of 
exhaust valves and some other work on the overdrive and it worked great. In 
2004 John Burkhard came all the way up to the island to buy it. On the day 
he drove off it broke down and no amount of worked revealed the problem. 
Gave John his money back and later (much later) found the jet needle had 
slipped out of place about 1/8th inch. Once correct everything worked fine, 
I re-advertized and this time Real bought it. I drove the car over to N.B 
for pick up by a Classic car trailer firm. As the driver moved the car onto 
the ramps to load, it stopped dead and refused to re-start. I thought Oh! no 
not again, anyway long story short.  I'd installed petronix and the rotor 
button had cracked (common fault with using Petronix) had a spare with me 
and the car finally reached Montreal.
                                              Regards Ben (irishrover)

I am late coming to the topic of RoveAmerica '09 as Linda and I blasted down the highway for an overnight trip to the tip of Cape Cod.? Since Glen, Kent, and Hank, have pretty much said what I wanted to say, I'll only be able to add little to the remarks.
?
I was "gob-smacked", extremely impressed, and otherwise thrilled by the event that Dirk hosted in Fitchburg. His commitment in energy and treasure to produce such an event is above and beyond the call of duty.? That weekend was the centre of the Rover universe in North America.? I felt a strong sense of camaraderie and positive energy from all the attendees. I had met some of the Rover folk last year and was delighted to see them again.? In addition, I had the opportunity to meet even more Rover enthusiasts as the number of Rovers driving into the lot increased in number on the Saturday.
?
It is a great event for all Rover enthusiasts, and I appreciated the major effort of some of the members as they rushed to complete their restorations and drive their cars to Fitchburg before all the bugs were worked out.? They wanted to be part of the excitement and I much appreciated their commitment.
?
I look forward to participating in discussion and planning to help encourage Dirk to produce? a RoverAmerica '10.? 
?

Eric 
(still in Fitchburg)

I went with the Edelbrock on the 4.6, recurved my dissy to suit the engine spec, fitted it with a Lumenition optical trigger mated up to an MSD6A CDI and Blaster 2 coil with the Aussie made Eagle Blue 8.8mm spiral core leads.

IMO the three most significant items in getting the RV8 to go are:
1. engine capacity, bigger the better for torque;
2. cylinder heads - the real Archilles of the V8 - I use '64 Buick 300 but there's new designs coming soon from TA Performance based on the Buick V6 which will reportedly match the Wildcats but sell for much less than their price;
3. cam - there's lots to choose from in UK, US, Oz - I chose Crane.


For racing, as you rightly point out, you need to significantly lighten the SD1 - mine's down to under 1200kg with f/g bonnet, hatch, spoilers, perspex, etc, and fit a lower FD - I use the 6 cylinder 3.45:1 or TR7 3.9:1 and a Quaiffe lsd.
Helps eliminate the understeer too.

Which is why I have put in a Wolf ECU and electronic distributor. Goes like the wind now, mind you it is a 4l warm motor, 5 sp gearbox.


Not bothering with concours condition, already too many of them in the Club. I am going racing!! The old girl has been taken off the road for a while, will put her on Club Plates. Going to strip her down, put a roll cage in, racing seats and harness, sticky tyres and off I go.

Hi Alan
           You are probably right, but when she reduces one to tears it must 
be time to move on!!! On the night it failed when loading for Montreal it 
was late, dark and very cold (Late Nov) there was ice forming on the car. My 
flash light battery was on its last legs, the truck driver was anxious to 
get underway. I couldn't test the petronix so changed it back to 
points-condenser using only a screw driver, guess at the gap etc. After I 
done all that we discovered the cracked dist cap.
I really don't miss her
                           regards Ben (irishrover)

We are more or less 30 enthusiasts, and for us it is beautiful to know thet on the other side of the world there are people who share our passion.

Please feel free  to tell me yes or no.

Oggetto: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] RoveAmerica '09

Hi Netters,
I'll echo Glen's remarks.  RoveAmerica was outstanding!  Dirk is the perfect host and his collection is the perfect venue.  It is now a world class collection and the addition of the Streamline will make it more so. 

It was great to meet Glen after all these years and I was overjoyed to see that he is doing well.  I am always interested in how people get into Rovers and am curious about the results of the interviews that were conducted at RoveAmerica.  Most of you have been enthusiasts for many years and purchased a Rover new or "inherited" the cars from family or have some sentimental attachment to them.  Relatively few of you have come to Rovers after indulging in other brands.

Since I am one of the few, I was very interested to meet Real Forest from Montreal.  Real has an extensive collection of British, French and Italian cars ( I forgot to ask if he has a Lancia Appia.) and has come to Rovers most recently.  He and Claire drove a P5 Mk. III stick shift, a very solid California car.  It is very important to understand how people like Real come to Rovers...what attracted them to the marque.  
Most of us are getting up in years.  How do we maintain the interest in the marque and who will we pass our cars along to?  There were some cars in progress at RoveAmerica and there are some younger enthusiasts out there, many of whom are struggling in the present economy.  I hope we will continue to encourage them and recruit more. Thanks to Eric Russel and RoverNet for doing a great service to us all by keeping us connected and giving the next generation access to a wonderful tradition.

Eventually, the automobile as we know it will cease to exist or morph into something unrecognizable.  Until then we have a unique contribution to make to automotive history and enjoyment.  Thank you all for your hard work and thank you Dirk for a wonderful weekend.

Roverly,
Kent K.

anyone would object to the use of their names, but maybe the email 
addresses don't need to be advertised. It would probably be a little bit 
silly for us to be overly concerned with privacy since we have been

are people on distant planets reading our posts using some sort of 
interstellar wireless connection. I hope they treat their abducted

It was good to meet may fellow Roverites at Rover America 2009. Thanks to Dirk for putting it on.

My Rover did make it home despite its somewhat reluctant starter
motor. I had to take to it with a hammer once, and I roll started it
twice. I changed over to my spare starter motor today, which is a Lucas
M100 starter motor, with the correct 10 tooth pinion fitted. I bought
this starter off ebay some years ago for a Rover 2000 TC, second hand.
My Rover in Australia has been running with a Land Rover 6 cylinder
starter motor for about the 10 years. Is the Lucas M100 starter off a
Land Rover 6? It looks like the one in Australia with the thicker front
casting where it mounts onto the bell housing. It certainly cranks the
car over very well. I had 2 starter motors in over 3 years have the
casting at the front crack. Then the bolts work their way lose and the
pinion starts making strange noises with the motor running. The LR 6
cylinder starter motor is the solution I was recommended in Australia,
and I think that is what I have bought off ebay, even though it was sold for a Rover 2000 TC, as I can not find any
mention in my books of the M100 starter ever being fitted.

James.

I agree with protecting email addresses although they can be determined through member email and archive if a person is a subscriber.? We're somewhat trusting here. I think my SPAM mail received is?generated by too high a profile elsewhere than the Rovernet.
?
I am also sure that Dirk would be delighted for Italian Rover enthusiasts?to attend?next year's meet.? Watch for announcements on the Rovernet and on the RoveAmerica and RCCC websites.

Glen, 



Gianluca is a government attorney in Italy. He was trained to think like that. Actually, he is a really nice guy in spite of his occupation. It is primarily in the US that attorney's have such a poor reputation. 



Marie and I met him a few years ago, on one of our visits to Rome. Hope to see him again on our next visit.

Dennis, 



Not trying to be a wise ass, but did you check to make certain that the connection for the points and condenser (capacitor) was not grounded. I have in fact done it once. This of course gives zero spark. On a Lucas distributor, it is very easy to do when installing the spacers and insulators. I alway look for the simple more obvious items first.

Well, you have to love a guy that sends a Christmas greeting every year 
without fail! I might like him even better if his name was Antonio 
Pollaiolo, which is my favorite name from Art History class. To 
pronounce it correctly, you have to hold the last "L" on the roof of 
your mouth for a minimum of three seconds!

It's always good to hear from Gianll...lluca!

Hello All,

Thank you for the kind comments regarding the event. It is truly a pleasure
for me to do this and I look forward to seeing everyone at the event as this
keeps me going on my projects for the entire year. In the 3 short years I
have been hosting this event I feel I have made a number of life long
friendships and I know others have as well! So this is more then just a car
show. 

I think the event is nearing critical mass and the momentum will be self
sustaining. I will be keeping up my "marketing efforts" with the ad hock
newsletters and email reminders to everyone.

Gianluca, you are of coarse welcome to use my comments or anything on the
RoverAmerica website in your quest. If you would like proper Italian text on
the RoverAmerica.com website please provide it and I will reformat a page
for you with your provided text.

Thanks again to all who attended and to those still on the fence your really
missing a great time so start planning for next year
RoveAmerica 10

Dirk

It was good to meet may fellow Roverites at Rover America 2009. Thanks to
Dirk for putting it on.

My Rover did make it home despite its somewhat reluctant starter motor. I
had to take to it with a hammer once, and I roll started it twice. I changed
over to my spare starter motor today, which is a Lucas M100 starter motor,
with the correct 10 tooth pinion fitted. I bought this starter off ebay some
years ago for a Rover 2000 TC, second hand.
My Rover in Australia has been running with a Land Rover 6 cylinder starter
motor for about the 10 years. Is the Lucas M100 starter off a Land Rover 6?
It looks like the one in Australia with the thicker front casting where it
mounts onto the bell housing. It certainly cranks the car over very well. I
had 2 starter motors in over 3 years have the casting at the front crack.
Then the bolts work their way lose and the pinion starts making strange
noises with the motor running. The LR 6 cylinder starter motor is the
solution I was recommended in Australia, and I think that is what I have
bought off ebay, even though it was sold for a Rover 2000 TC, as I can not
find any mention in my books of the M100 starter ever being fitted.

James.

I agree with protecting email addresses although they can be determined
through member email and archive if a person is a subscriber.? We're
somewhat trusting here. I think my SPAM mail received is?generated by too
high a profile elsewhere than the Rovernet.
?
I am also sure that Dirk would be delighted for Italian Rover enthusiasts?to
attend?next year's meet.? Watch for announcements on the Rovernet and on the
RoveAmerica and RCCC websites.

The 2000s have 11 teeth, P4s have 10.
I used a P4 starter for years on my TC and I suspect they are better.
I have never had a starter crack where you said, usually the shafts bend or the pinions split.
I am suspicious of the bellhousing it bolts to.

It was good to meet may fellow Roverites at Rover America 2009. Thanks to Dirk for putting it on.

My Rover did make it home despite its somewhat reluctant starter motor. I had to take to it with a hammer once, and I roll started it twice. I changed over to my spare starter motor today, which is a Lucas M100 starter motor, with the correct 10 tooth pinion fitted. I bought this starter off ebay some years ago for a Rover 2000 TC, second hand. My Rover in Australia has been running with a Land Rover 6 cylinder starter motor for about the 10 years. Is the Lucas M100 starter off a Land Rover 6? It looks like the one in Australia with the thicker front casting where it mounts onto the bell housing. It certainly cranks the car over very well. I had 2 starter motors in over 3 years have the casting at the front crack. Then the bolts work their way lose and the pinion starts making strange noises with the motor running. The LR 6 cylinder starter motor is the solution I was recommended in Australia, and I think that is what I have bought off ebay, even though it was sold for a Rover 2000 TC, as I can not find any mention in my books of the M100 starter ever being fitted.

James.

Hi All,

I'm so sorry I couldn't make it this year. I did get 'best special interest British car' at the Cape Cod British Car show that weekend (Mainly because I was teh only one that wasn't a Triumph, MG of Jag!).

The TC then threw its toys out of the pram on the drive home with the front box of the exhaust parting company somewhere in Connecticut on the way home. Sounded like a Brooklands racer and scared the guy tailgating me!

So looking for a new front and back box now. 

hopefully see everyone next year,

Steven

If you can weld you can get an identical front can from any exhaust shop and cut & weld the pipes on to it.

Greetings all,

Cheryl and I got back late last night from Dirk's fabulous event, after 
a pleasant if wet tour of scenic Vermont and New York State.

The Rover accomplished the trip in true Rover fashion -- no noise, no 
bother, just steadily reeling off the miles.  We met a number of people 
along the way who were attracted by the car: I had parked in Bellows 
Falls, Vt. to take some photographs, and a chap came out of his house to 
admire it.  He told Cheryl that he had never heard of a Rover, so she 
was able to fill him in on the car's antecedents.  Another chap 
somewhere in New York wanted to know if it was a Silver Cloud (!).  
Another fellow on the Wolfe Island ferry was fascinated by the viking on 
the bonnet.  But the most enthusiastic contact came while I was filling 
the tank in Hanover, N.H.  A fellow hopped out of a Porsche and came 
running over, saying "Hey, that's a Rover P4!!"  I modestly admitted 
that it was.  When he found out I had driven it "all the way from 
Canada" (!), he was so excited that he practically offered to trade cars 
with me.  I'm glad he didn't, though, as I would have had to disappoint him.

I see that Glen, Eric, Kent, and others have already expressed what I'm 
sure we all feel in the way of gratitude and appreciation to Dirk for 
conceiving and hosting this marvellous event.  And Cheryl has asked me 
to say how much she enjoyed the opportunity to see other enthusiasts' 
cars and to chat with them (the enthusiasts, that is, not the cars).  
She is, as many of you will know, a Roverite herself -- she used to 
drive the 90 and now has a '73 Land Rover and '93 Range Rover, and she 
was very happy to meet up with other Rover ladies and to have a chance 
to get to know Lisiane better.  Both of us are already looking forward 
to next year's event.

When I get all my photos back from processing (yes, I'm still using 
film), I'll put an assortment up on the TARC web site.

Thanks again to Dirk and his wonderful family, and to Joe and Marianne 
Allen, and to all the others who helped make this event the grand 
success that it was.

Best regards,

 -- Bill Daddis

Hmm, I could do that. To be honest I think the back resonator has had  
it too. So I reckon I should just bite the bullet and get SS boxes  
that have the correct back pressure and that.

I recommend stainless for the back one, but it is not crucial for the front one.  That is how my SC is set up.

I seem to remember that you had an oil leak in the engine area last year.? Your priceless remark then was, ".......... it smelled like an oil refinery......"[in the cabin]

Don't worry about asking the obvious...sometimes it's right in front of us...lol..

 But I did check and I do have good spark...also the fuel is flowing properly from the pump into the su's.

 I do have a question... 

 Do I HAVE to raise the engine to remove the timing chain ???? and is it a BIG task to change ?

Dennis,

 

Not trying to be a wise ass, but did you check to make certain that the connection for the points and condenser (capacitor) was not grounded. I have in fact done it once. This of course gives zero spark. On a Lucas distributor, it is very easy to do when installing the spacers and insulators. I alway look for the simple more obvious items first.

Everyone may say I'm crazy, but one of the worst jobs I did was getting

No AC and I had the same problem.
I didn't put the cowling back and there is no heat problem, radiator is now easy.

 Not quite as slick/wild looking as the works teams/Camel car of the late 60s - mid 70s but eye-catching nonetheless. Seems to be a few more P6s coming onto the classic race car scene lately including of course this one

Dear friends, 
 
    I am not a government attorney, I would like but there are some differences.
Firt of all, they receive a very huge wage, and they make an AUTOMATIC career because they' re promoted in order of seniority only, at the end they earn just like the deputees at the Parlament.
 
Of course there are other things, but i prefere to speak abou cars.
 
I am only a lawyer, something like a corporate lawyer, but with a very big rover passion.
 
About the photo I have the car, but could also be interested in the girl!!
 
Best regards, Gianluca.

Hi Dennis, 



Yes, sometimes the obvious is difficult to spot. I had an intermittent starting problem on an MGB that took a few trys to find. At times the starter just would not engage. I checked all the obvious connections including the ground connection at the rear license plate mount and then it worked. Only to fail again on the first stop on the way home. The final solution was a loose push on connector to the starter relay. At another time while on an extended trip in the same car, the points were going out. So, I installed a new Petronix that I had just picked up, (this was along the freeway in Seattle at rush hour on a Friday). I changed it in 20 minutes, set the timing by eyeball and drove on. About 30 minutes later the car suddenly died. Pulled over and found that one of the push-on connectors to the coil had come off. Tightened it slightly with a pair of pliers and no more troubles for the next 500 miles to the ABFM and home. Those simple electrical connection can and will get you instantly.

Dennis, 
? 
Not trying to be a wise ass, but did you check to make certain that the connection for the points and condenser (capacitor) was not grounded. I have in fact done it once. This of course gives zero spark. On a Lucas distributor, it is very easy to do when installing the spacers and insulators. I alway look for the simple more obvious items first.

The 2000s have 11 teeth, P4s have 10.
I used a P4 starter for years on my TC and I suspect they are better.
I have never had a starter crack where you said, usually the shafts bend or the pinions split.
I am suspicious of the bellhousing it bolts to.

It was good to meet may fellow Roverites at Rover America 2009. Thanks to Dirk for putting it on.

My Rover did make it home despite its somewhat reluctant starter motor. I had to take to it with a hammer once, and I roll started it twice. I changed over to my spare starter motor today, which is a Lucas M100 starter motor, with the correct 10 tooth pinion fitted. I bought this starter off ebay some years ago for a Rover 2000 TC, second hand. My Rover in Australia has been running with a Land Rover 6 cylinder starter motor for about the 10 years. Is the Lucas M100 starter off a Land Rover 6? It looks like the one in Australia with the thicker front casting where it mounts onto the bell housing. It certainly cranks the car over very well. I had 2 starter motors in over 3 years have the casting at the front crack. Then the bolts work their way lose and the pinion starts making strange noises with the motor running. The LR 6 cylinder starter motor is the solution I was recommended in Australia, and I think that is what I have bought off ebay, even though it was sold for a Rover 2000 TC, as I can not find any mention in my books of the M100 starter ever being fitted.

James.

I bought one 5 or 6 years ago, and now can't locate the paperwork.

Message-ID: <ce5.530358c0.376f834e@aol.com>

 

     Was 2000 tc advance curve.

      Hi Peter and All,
                               I had a discussion with a bloke at All 
British Day here in Brisbane a couple of years ago on the merits of Wolf v. 
MegaSquirt open source injection. A bloke out on the road to Toowoomba has built 
a MegaSquirt and is happy with it. He is on another forum. Had hoped to 
catch up with him some time. 

   I have had a think about aftermarket ECU's and the Wolf seems to be a 
better idea than Open Source. It has it own controller from memory. No laptop 
required.

    My first SD1 is sitting in the front yard waiting for me to turn it 
into a race car. Have you had a look at the current Improved Production rules. 
They are a bit different to the rules my dad raced under in the 1960's.

    There is a Chev powered SD1 Sports Sedan somewhere in SE Qld. but that 
is too much work these days. I saw it for sale a couple of years ago for 
about $12,000. I don't think anyone has built an Improved Production SD1 yet. 
It would be nice to get a ruling on exactly which blocks you can use, heads 
are free.
   
    Then, an Improved Production may also be kept down to being road 
registerable.  Good luck with the Old Girl.

      Regards,
                    MWJ.

   Hi All,
            Rob Thornton, you have done it again.

  Probably also provided Slats with some info to use with his recently 
acquired dizzy machines.

  Not working on the Rovers at the moment but might have to try and find a 
new 35D8.

    Regards,
                 MWJ.

Message-ID: <3A.11.11978.66FDE3A4@cm-1.zoominternet.net>

Hi All,

Before I take my 1970 3500S in for inspection, I need to find a good 
used amber lens for my right front flasher lamp.  If anyone has a 
spare available that I could acquire, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Sorry to have missed the RoveAmerica event, but too many other 
responsibilities here to get away.  The photos are great and I hope 
to join the group next year!  Thanks,

Warren

Hi Warren,
I probably have some new ones, but it will be the middle of the week 
before I can go check.  Can you give me the number off the lens?

Roverly,

Warren,

The one that falls easily to hand is a clear one, but I have several 
good amber ones somewhere. Things are still a jumble since we moved. If 
I find them before Kent gets to his, I'll let you know.

      Hi  Gianluca and All,
                                     Just catching up.   For the Wolf gear 
have a look at their website,     www.wolfems.com

    They are more into complete engine management systems.

     The electronic Distributor we mentioned is the 123 Ignition. It is a 
complete programable electronic ignition contained in a new replacement 
distributor body. The original caps fit it.  Have a look at some of the Rover 
stuff at this page,  
            http://www.123ignition.nl/brand/Rover.html

     Here are some other sites,    www.motec.com.au     and    
www.autronic.com.au

      Have a look at MegaSquirt for open source Injection via your Search 
engine.

       Regards,
                    MWJ.

Hi Glen,
I think he means the ones below the bumper, that's why I asked for the 
Lucas number off the lens itself.

Drop me line if you still need this  - I seem to have quite a lot of bits
like this. I see Kent and Glen have also offered but I know exactly where
all my lighting bits are if you're in a hurry.

Ain't got none of those suckers! Never did quite understand why they 
went with those. The other lamps were up where you could actually see 
them, though I'll admit they were a bit smaller.

 "Never did quite understand why they went with those."

 

If I am correct the US required thes lights as they produced more side on visability ...note the way the lens was made in an attempt to be easier seen from the side...not too sure if they actually are any better but apparently they did satisfy the import regulations of the time .

Hello Rovernetters,

  I wanted to express my thanks to Dirk and family for the great event put on in Fitchburg earlier!  As for the 3500s flasher lens needed, it also fit an MGB prior to 1975, if that makes finding one locally any easier for the one who needs it.  They are not sided, and came in one piece or two...the rover cars take the single one.  There are more MGB parts people around than Rover ones.  I do have a few of them if nobody else does.

Thanks for that info, James (and Barry!)

Snapped two rotten bolt heads off removing the water pump, so more  
adventures ahead!  I'm glad to have it apart, though. Gives me the  
chance to change out belts and give the engine a good clean.

Any suggestions as to where to get 35-amp fuses for the P5?  There's also an
in-line 3-amp fuse, not listed in the parts manual, although there's no
after-market equipment on the car.  I went to all the local car places
(Advance, Autozone, Napa, Bap/Geon), but smoke came out of their ears when I
showed them the fuses.

I believe that 35-amp fuse must be a Lucas which is different in both size and resistance than comparable NA domestic specs.  You need to contact someone who would
specialize in those fuses or find a "conversion" chart which provides equivalent fuse cross-references.  I have a Mark III P5 and have run into the same issue.  As to your
in-line fuse...is it by chance connected with the dashboard clock?  Adding an in-line fuse to the clock adds an extra margin of safety as the internal contacts fusing could
constitute a fire hazard which an inline fuse would obviate.  Thank goodness your well-intentioned suppliers suffer from "smoking ears" and you don't.

Are you looking for the cylindrical glass fuses?  I think I have some that are 35 amps.

Jim

I think the Lucas fuse ratings are momentary, the domestic ones continuous.
I think 20 or 25 amp is the same as Lucas 35, but it's been a while since I
dealt with these.

Gents,

Thanks to all who responded.  I've managed to order some 35-Amp fuses (old
Land Rovers use them too), but am still mystified by the little 3-amp fuse.
I'll try the guy you mentioned, Garrett, and report back.

Best, Gordon.

I hope it's appropriate to post a link here (and I apologize if it isn't),
but I found this in my searches.  The implication is that, as with other
things, British and American measures differ in fuses.  Any thoughts?

Gordon.

Time to weight in on this.

You can buy proper fuses here  http://www.britishwiring.com/

You can use UL (North American) AGC fuses, if you properly chose the  
correct capacity (roughly half the number on the Lucas fuse) and you  
can read all about that here.

http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/category/245100/Fuses/AGC-3AG-/1.html

I went down in current when my Rover P6 blew 35 amp fuse years ago to a 30 amp fuse, as that is what they had at the service station in outback Manjimup Western Australia. Perhaps I should have gone down to 20 or 15 amps instead given the different current rating systems. It was just a standard 3AG or AGC fuse. They are about the size of a spent 22 magnum cartridge. A spent 22 magnum cartridge is the old bush mechanics trick for when no fuse is available, and the car will not run without it!

Could someone who has access to a Rover 2000 with the horizontal flow radiator measure the width and height for me please. I am over the other side of the world from my Rover with this radiator, and I am researching buying some electric radiator fans for it. Does anyone here, particularly any Australians who may read this have any experience buying and installing these fans. A company called Davies Craig sells them in Australia, and can probably help me if I have this information. Kenlowe in the UK do them, but they are not represented in Australia, and shipping would be expensive. I wish to install an electric fan to help keep it cool when driving around in the city during a stinking hot Adelaide summers day, which means 100 - 110 degree heat. The fan will need to go behind the radiator as I have a seperate transmission cooler in the front. The fan on the waterpump does not really provide sufficent airflow when idling for extended periods during the heat.  I believe that there is a fan available from NAPA which fits, as I saw one in some photos of a Rover 2000 that was for sale on ebay about 6 years ago, and I sent the guy an email and asked him about it. If anyone has that car on this list then perhaps they can help me also. I think it was for sale from the Carolinas or maybe Geogia.

James.

James, is your current fan four bladed? If so there is a six bladed  
fan available that will help, though probably not solve your cooling  
hassles.

A 6 blade fan moves heaps of air - what do you have?
English cars had 4 blade.
I removed the mech fan from my SC and put a 5A electric on, it works here but
would be inadequate for Adelaide.  At 36C a 4 blade reaches its limit (I have
one on the TC).
I'd go for something around 10A, and Supercheap have them for a third of the
price of Davies Craig.

A second hand fan off [e.g] a Toyota or Mitsubishi from a scrappie will work just fine and cost only a few dollars.

It is a six blade fan. For those reading in Adelaide it tends to get warm going up Flagstaff Hill road on hot days. The proceeding intersections along Marion road always seem to be synchronised so you have to stop at them, some even have read light cameras. Upon going up the hill the standard solution tends to be to drive gently along Happy Valley drive, so things cool down a bit, then park under a tree, and stop at the Hub tavern for a couple of beers, which allows both me and the car to cool off, before going further up the hill to Chandlers Hill, Clarendon. Its all pretty much down hill from there, and no traffic lights. There is a Supercheap auto parts at the bottom of Flagstaff Hill road, so I might stop there the next time I am in Adelaide.

Thanks, Kent and all who offered to help.  You are right; the lens I 
need is the one located below the bumper. There isn't enough left of 
the original lens to see a number, but assuming it is the same as on 
the left side, that amber lens is marked "SAE DP 69 L839.  It has a 
rectangular footprint and an angular face.  My parts book lists it as 
(probably) #606648.

Kent, I'm not in a great rush and a new one would be great, if 
available.  Let me know the particulars.  Best regards to all,

Warren

Hi Warren,
It will be Saturday at the soonest before I can look.  There are two 
types-a one piece and a two piece.  I assume yours is one piece but will 
check the numbers.

Roverly,
Kent K.

Subject: [Rovernet - INTERNATIONAL] P5 Fuses
Message-ID: <120363.92488.qm@web34304.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

When I worked in the marine electronics business (UK; radar, depth sounders, etc.), we used glass fuses where if the current exceeded that stamped on the fuse, the link would melt and the current would stop.
?
We had another type of fuse.? We called it "Slow blow".? Although it was the same shape, they used a white ceramic material instead of glass.? Inside, there appeared to be a different structure.? The idea was that if the current exceeded that stamped upon the white body for a length of time - then the fuse would "blow".? For example, the radar scanner motor had a 7 amp slow blow fuse. The start-up of the scanner may be impeded by strong wind, rain, or snow so it was fused accordingly.? If, however, a crewman let a flag halyard get in the way of a rotating scanner, the fuse would blow.
?
It seems problematic for me that a glass fuse produced by another company would have a rating number stamped upon it such that the number didn't mean what it said.? Expensive electronic equipment would be at risk,.......... it seems to me.? Most of our fuses inside the boat or ship connected with the rest of the electronics would be glass.

I hope it's appropriate to post a link here (and I apologize if it isn't), but I found this in my searches.? The implication is that, as with other things, British and American measures differ in fuses.? Any thoughts?

Any suggestions as to where to get 35-amp fuses for the P5?? There's also an in-line 3-amp fuse, not listed in the parts manual, although there's no after-market equipment on the car.? I went to all the local car places (Advance, Autozone, Napa, Bap/Geon), but smoke came out of their ears when I showed them the fuses.

I found this good guide on Lucas fuses:

The colour coding may be useful if you find some new old stock, or have some unknown parts.

How hot is hot?
My TC got to the top of the green border with a 4 blade fan at 40C on the
Pacific Hwy, or 36C idling at lights.
If it is happening at lower temps then I'd look at some radiator clean.

Bill, I don't have an extra 3500 rear end around but I did make the conversion a couple of years ago on a TC. It made a snappy car into a less snappy car and one that doesn't go up the hills as well as the original ran. Ian Potts also made the conversion. You might get his opinion on the subject. At 60 mph the I did lose about 700rpm after to conversion. Now at 60 mph the rev counter reads 2300 rpm. Regards, Larry

James
Stopping at pubs is always a good idea <g>, however .....
I would suggest that if you are having trouble with the OEM system, the individual components should be looked at.

* radiator tubes and fins.

* radiator cap

* thermostat opening too far/stuck open .... this restricts the ability of the coolant to effectively transmit it's heat load to the fins, since 
the coolant would be flowing too rapidly thru the core.
IMHO, the thermostat should not get to the fully open (hit the wall) position under normal conditions, it should oscillate to a maximum opening 
point somewhere below.

* coolant concentration (I run 33% Tectalloy Gold coolant to distilled water)

* hoses for internal delamination/restriction

Hello Rovernetters,

  I have, as you might recall that I have advertised in the past, a Rover 3500S for sale or for parts. It was last on the road in 1980 in Georgia and has lots of faded paint but is very rust free.  It originally appears to have been medium blue, and now is dark green.  I have owned it about 5 years and have kept it inside but need the space.  

  This bodyshell is nice and would be a good to have with a donor car.  A second car to this one would provide some replacement parts, missing on this one giving you a complete car to do a restoration on.  This car is not complete.  The AC equipment is missing, the left rear door is dented.  I have an original type engine, the original to my own 3500S, engine is in good cond with new head gaskets and water pump, but missing valve covers and other outside accessories.  SD1 covers included but do not fit due to some internal differences.  Suspension and brakes are complete.  The car rolls and steers.  Interior is rough but mostly there except radio and icealert consoles.

   If the car does not sell, in the near furure, I will part it out.  Contact me for more details at gbbourque at hotmail.com.

 

Thanks, Garrett Bourque Jefferson, Maine USA.

I have had the radiator recored in the past, and have had it rodded out. I always get them to replace the themostat at the same time. They managed to do this, but did not manage to spot a very lose fan belt, which I thought was a little sloppy on their part. Fixing the exhaust manifold helped also. I think the traffic patterns have not helped, as Adelaide has grown, and I use the car more in the heat then I used to. When you are a student it was just 2 miles to Univeristy, and there was a bar there too, if it was too hot to study, and the bar had airconditioning!

 

I do run coolant at 33%.

 

Does anyone know if there is a difference in response between Smiths gauge BT8101/02 and BT8101/08. Physically the /02 gauge has a wider (green) safe zone and narrower red (danger) zone than the /08 gauge. My parts listing lists BT8101/02 as being for cars up to suffix C. and /08 being from suffix D. Do these gauges respond differently, or is the difference just in the width of the danger zone? My Rover 2000 automatic has a /02 gauge, and is a suffix F I think. My 2000TC which is a 66 model has a /08 temp gauge. I noticed at Rover America that some later model cars had the earlier model gauge.

 

James.

   I thought it was a live .22 long that fitted the 3AG fuse clips. The .22 
Magnum case is too big at one end, bends the clips and falls out.   MWJ.

OK, who's the wise guy who borrowed my Cyclops, drove it across the country, stuck it on top of a ten-foot-tall, um, whatever that is, then snuck it back into my garage without my ever noticing?  :-)

That car is a twin for my Aussie-import Cyclops!  How in the heck did you get it up there?  What a great idea.

Looks like a great time.  A bit too far for me to travel though.  We need to organize something similar for us left-coast folks.

Hi Warren,
It will be Saturday at the soonest before I can look.  There are two 
types-a one piece and a two piece.  I assume yours is one piece but will 
check the numbers.

Hi Warren,
I don't know whether it's the right box or not, but it's definitely the 
right lens.  SAE DP 69 L839 (no gasket though)
$10.00 plus shipping.  How do you want it sent?

Roverly,
Kent K.

Kent,

USPS should be fine.  Include an address and I'll remit the $10 + 
shipping upon receipt.

Friday, I got my other 1970 3500S (Brigade Red) back from a major 
tune-up and fixing the AC (for the first time in 20 years).  When 
returned, the gear shift wouldn't go into "Park" and all the other 
gears were one off from the dial plate.  Yesterday, I drove it 
(carefully) to fill it with gas and the gear shift lever became 
disengaged and dropped down a couple of inches.  By some fiddling 
around, I got it into a forward gear and, holding the shift lever up, 
I was able to make it home.  Took the center console apart and can't 
find any missing bolts or anything "obviously" wrong.  I guess I'll 
need to have it towed to the mechanic and have it looked at from 
underneath.  Any idea what happened?

Thanks again for your help!  Gaskets are more easily made than lenses.

Warren

Due to lack of storage room I have to part with my "rolling" 3500s parts/spares car...it is actually restorable and has been sitting in a shelter for the past 4 years or so...I am more interested in seeing it find a good home than the $$$ ...so any offer could be considered reasonable but this car needs to be towed or flat bed ...and it must be quite soon.

 I also am in possesion of a LOT of good spare parts like doors /water pumps /dashes/ etc...that I will sell very reasonably.

OK guys,
           Own up, who bought the 1939 Rover 16 from the Edmonton auction.
I bid several thousand dollars and still did not get it.
I would have loved to have that car as I know it's history from when a 
friend of mine bought it with him when he emigrated to Canada in 1964 and 
how it carried him and his family across Canada to Edmonton.
He would have loved to know it was still around but he passed away a few 
years ago.

I'm in two minds about posting these pictures -- they don't relate 
directly to Rovers, as I took them on the way to and from Dirk's famous 
event in Fitchburg.

But on the assumption that Rovers don't exist in a vacuum, and that most 
Rover aficionados will be at least somewhat interested in other things 
technical and historical, here they are:

Bill,

These were of interest to me because Rouses Point and Bellows Falls were 
major places on the old Rutland Railway. The main route of the railroad 
ran from Bellows Falls north to Rouses Point by way of several bridges 
and causeways crossing Lake Champlain. From Rouses Point, it struck out 
almost due west to Ogdensburg, NY where it terminated on the St. 
Lawrence. You must have pretty well paralleled this route on your way 
from Toronto to Fitchburg. Here are a couple of maps.

http://users.rcn.com/jimdu4/system.htm

The Rutland has long been an interest of mine. It was a very picturesque 
old road with passenger and milk train operations going through a number 
of lovely little towns. Over the years, the railroad had to survive hard 
times and floods to continue operating. I have several books about the 
Rutland and have amassed a pretty good collection of H.O.scale model 
railroad equipment for that road name.

Thanks for the pics.

Glen

 Hi Barry,

I put a bid up to $5000 but the car sold for $8500. I spoke to the
auctioneer who is a good guy and he promised to email me the contact details
of the buyers. He did tell me they were from Edmonton and a husband and wife
team which makes me wonder if it was the Peking to Paris couple who drove
the Rover 12.

I will keep you posted

Dirk

Hi Dirk,
           I also bid up to $5000 and the auctioneer also told me that he 
thought it went to some one local so you could be right about the Peking to 
Paris couple. I think Eric may have a contact email for them.
I am almost certain that that is the car a friend of mine and an ex RCCC 
member Ted Evans (passed away a few years ago) bought from the UK with him 
and his family. They came by ship and landed at Montreal and drove across 
Canada to Edmonton in 1964. When they moved to BC he sold the car to a 
neighbour and told me many times how he regretted selling the car. He wrote 
quite a story about the trip in the Roverview back in the 90s.

Message-ID: <cff.58e29ee7.377be2ff@aol.com>

I know it is rather short notice but I will be travelling to the US and  
Canada on Thursday and I may have some spare room/weight allowance for any 
parts  which any of you North American Rover owners might want. This would 
present a  good opportunity to save on shipping costs. I will be able to mail 
things from  the US or Canada depending on where the recipient is. There is a 
limit of course  to what can be brought, so no requests for engine blocks!
 
My journey will take me from New York via Toronto, Chicago, Salt Lake City, 
 Astoria (OR), San Francisco, LA to Las Vegas, so I may get an opportunity 
to  meet some of you.
 
Kent, I still have a small part you had sent to me; shall I bring it with  
me and mail it to you?
 
Regards,
 
Pierre Janusz

HI All

Leigh Pullen, the Peking Man (so to speak) is in Calgary.

So I think we have a new player, if the Edmonton location is correct.

Yours
Vern

Pierre,

I am in need of the large red double portion under bonnet label which goes on the radiator cowling 
part No. 371018
and a 3500 badge for the boot lid, (2 pins) this is the flat,silk screened version, not the engraved early model.
Part No. 370118 .
let me know if this is doable.

Best regards

David

Pierre, I am in need a an HD8 jet valve if it can handle the oxygenated gas we have here. I had to replace the one I get from MOSS Motors every couple of years as the fuel here ruins them. I also would like to get a standard needle and seat since the GROSS one keeps sticking. Thanks.

Hi Kent,

I could a couple of sets of under bonnet stickers. 3500S and TC if you have

Hello Rovernetters,

  If anybody could use one, I also have one Magstar wheel for sale.  It is
in ok condition and can be refinished to suit.  Use as a matching spare or
replace a damaged one.  No tire included.  Let me know if you are
interested.  Garrett Bourque  Jefferson, Maine     gbbourque at hotmail.com

 Hi Barry,

I put a bid up to $5000 but the car sold for $8500. I spoke to the
auctioneer who is a good guy and he promised to email me the contact details
of the buyers. He did tell me they were from Edmonton and a husband and wife
team which makes me wonder if it was the Peking to Paris couple who drove
the Rover 12.

I will keep you posted

Dirk

Due to lack of storage room I have to part with my "rolling" 3500s
parts/spares car...it is actually restorable and has been sitting in a
shelter for the past 4 years or so...I am more interested in seeing it find
a good home than the $$$ ...so any offer could be considered reasonable but
this car needs to be towed or flat bed ...and it must be quite soon.
 I also am in possesion of a LOT of good spare parts like doors /water pumps
/dashes/ etc...that I will sell very reasonably.

OK guys,
           Own up, who bought the 1939 Rover 16 from the Edmonton auction.
I bid several thousand dollars and still did not get it.
I would have loved to have that car as I know it's history from when a
friend of mine bought it with him when he emigrated to Canada in 1964 and
how it carried him and his family across Canada to Edmonton.
He would have loved to know it was still around but he passed away a few
years ago.

I'm in two minds about posting these pictures -- they don't relate directly
to Rovers, as I took them on the way to and from Dirk's famous event in
Fitchburg.

But on the assumption that Rovers don't exist in a vacuum, and that most
Rover aficionados will be at least somewhat interested in other things
technical and historical, here they are:

Bill,

These were of interest to me because Rouses Point and Bellows Falls were
major places on the old Rutland Railway. The main route of the railroad ran
from Bellows Falls north to Rouses Point by way of several bridges and
causeways crossing Lake Champlain. From Rouses Point, it struck out almost
due west to Ogdensburg, NY where it terminated on the St. 
Lawrence. You must have pretty well paralleled this route on your way from
Toronto to Fitchburg. Here are a couple of maps.

http://users.rcn.com/jimdu4/system.htm

The Rutland has long been an interest of mine. It was a very picturesque old
road with passenger and milk train operations going through a number of
lovely little towns. Over the years, the railroad had to survive hard times
and floods to continue operating. I have several books about the Rutland and
have amassed a pretty good collection of H.O.scale model railroad equipment
for that road name.

Thanks for the pics.

Glen

Hi Dirk,
           I also bid up to $5000 and the auctioneer also told me that he 
thought it went to some one local so you could be right about the Peking to 
Paris couple. I think Eric may have a contact email for them.
I am almost certain that that is the car a friend of mine and an ex RCCC 
member Ted Evans (passed away a few years ago) bought from the UK with him 
and his family. They came by ship and landed at Montreal and drove across 
Canada to Edmonton in 1964. When they moved to BC he sold the car to a 
neighbour and told me many times how he regretted selling the car. He wrote 
quite a story about the trip in the Roverview back in the 90s.

I know it is rather short notice but I will be travelling to the US and  
Canada on Thursday and I may have some spare room/weight allowance for any 
parts  which any of you North American Rover owners might want. This would 
present a  good opportunity to save on shipping costs. I will be able to
mail 
things from  the US or Canada depending on where the recipient is. There is
a 
limit of course  to what can be brought, so no requests for engine blocks!
 
My journey will take me from New York via Toronto, Chicago, Salt Lake City, 
 Astoria (OR), San Francisco, LA to Las Vegas, so I may get an opportunity 
to  meet some of you.
 
Kent, I still have a small part you had sent to me; shall I bring it with  
me and mail it to you?
 
Regards,

I know it is rather short notice but I will be travelling to the US and Canada on Thursday and I may have some spare room/weight allowance for any parts which any of you North American Rover owners might want. This would present a good opportunity to save on shipping costs. I will be able to mail things from the US or Canada depending on where the recipient is. There is a limit of course to what can be brought, so no requests for engine blocks!
?
My journey will take me from New York via Toronto, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Astoria (OR), San Francisco, LA to Las Vegas, so I may get an opportunity to meet some of you.
?
Kent, I still have a small part you had sent to me; shall I bring it with me and mail it to you?
?
Regards,

Hi Dennis
             I will put your ad on the British Automobile Touring Assoc of Nova Scotia list. A lot of MG owners there who might be interested in the V8 engine if not the whole car. If this is okay please give me a location of the car, email and phone number
                                                    Regards Ben

Hi Kent,

I asked you about Magstar lug nuts -- though of course someone else may 
have done so too.  I'll check to see what I've got so far, and will let 
you know how many I "need".  I'm looking to collect the remaining 
hardware for a second set of Magstars, so someone else may have a more 
immediate need.

Thanks,

Steve

Thank you to all who inquired.  I will be at the shop again Saturday and 
will post availability of each item to you individually.  I should have 
most of them.

Prices will be discounted approximately 30% from UK prices, plus you 
save on postage.  I'd give them away, but I have to pay for my trip to 
Fitchburg:-)  Paypal is fine.

Roverly,
Kent K.
