Evening everyone.
Finally finding some time to carry on with Noel's rebuild.

Looking at the LR workshop guide, it tells me I need imperial bolts for the crank cover for engine numbers before 36123672B or 36407286B
And metric thereafter.

Mine is 9510***8A
So, imperial or metric please
It's a newer number but
It's the 'A' at the end that's thrown me.

Thanks for any advice
Shirl.

951xxxxxx Series III petrol 2286cc 3-bearing (fitted to 88 inch airportable)
Do you mean the front cover for timing chain
I would guess it’s imperial with it being 3 bearing
Have you tried any screws to test

A comes before B.

So the letter takes priority over the number.
Thanks

Gear box suffix's work much the same way, although when series 3 came out they went back to A but in a different place.

Who can tell. It often relies on what they had on the shelf at the time and who was on strike that week.
