    Barn find Rover p4 100

    Thanks, much appreciated :)! I always think when I walk past a barn that doesn't look like its been opened for a while, hmm I wonder what's in there! A chap met my old man yesterday from the rover guild, he looked up the chassis number and he's infact 1962 not 61! Now just the case of sending...

    Swivel ball

    Sorry if this has been covered 10000000000 times. But i couldn't find a post relating to my query. My swivel bearings are knackered as my wheel moves loads (oooops), but my swivel ball is looking in good condition still. So could it just be a case of replacing the bearing and pins? Dont want...
