Yeah you could be right. I used to have a really good old one but lost it in the divorce. My new one one just a cheap one. Might buy a new end for it then.

Nice new carb. Norrie.

I removed one nipple and pushed the end in. The grease gun is nearly new so must be worn nipples. Usually you can still pump grease through them though. Norrie.

Ok so I tried to grease my prop shaft today but none of the grease nipples will take grease. I took off the one on the prop shaft slide and it’s definately not blocked. The grease just comes out the side. So my question is do Land Rovers have a funny size grease nipple? I’ve just got a standard...

The easy bit is stripping t down. It’s rebuilding that takes the time. Norrie.

Anyone going to Thirelstane in Lauder on Sunday? I will be there sadly without the Landy as he's not on the road yet. Norrie

Cool thanks for that. That's a bonus then. If I hadn't had lost that spring I would never know that it was wrong. The manual just states remember where the old springs went. lol. Norrie.

Can someone tell me where the springs fit on the front of a SWB Series 3? My Landy had new wheel cylinders and shoes when I bought it however the adjusters weee seized. So today I thought I would start renewing them. Anyway there was 3 springs on there when I removed them but I managed to lose...

I never thought about it as I could have had mine galvinized when I had all my cappings etc done. Norrie

Yeah I riveted mine on as well. Norrie.

Brush.

Ok so I need to fit my mud shields under the front wings. I seem to remember someone saying you need to fit spacers where they bolt into the bulkhead to stop a build up of mud/water. Is that correct or do you just bolt them up tight? Thanks. Norrie .

Yeah that should be plenty. Norrie

Also got the passenger wing on. It's beginning to look like a car again. Norrie.

Managed to get the drivers side wing back on and the tub prepped for painting. Norrie

I just found it on eBay. Asked around if anyone else had one and a few people recommended it. Norrie

Some tub repairs today. Not the prettiest but you won't really see it once it's back on the car. Got to finish prepping it for paint now. Norrie.

Is anyone going to Thirelstane Castle classic car show next Sunday in Lauder? I will be there as it's just over the hill from me. Unfortunately not in the Landy as it's not on the road yet. I was hoping to have it done by now but no cigar. Norrie.

Powerspark from eBay. £75 for the dizzy and leads. £17 for the coil. I'm sure there are other ways to go but this is the way I have gone. Started the engine fine afterwards.. However decided to remove the carb afterwards to reseal it and the spacer broke so haven't set the timing or anything...

Nice.
