Added new "fuel cel" since the old gas tank is kaput and removed. Started the Landy for the first time in over a year, little carb clean to the carb, crank it a few timew, a couple of coughs, and shazam!!! now it starts first turn of the key. Now to finish cleaning the garage of "detrietus" that has accumulated over the winter, and be able to begin frame repairs
Overdrive
Getting my 109 SW ready for a run down to Mass to pick up the old playset from my brother and sister-in-law in Wakefield.
Changed the transmission oil and found a tooth - it looks like its been there for quite awhile so I am not going to worry about it tooo much . . . for now. didn't change the transfer case oil because the trannie oil tends to migrate and over time that oil will get replaced . . .
Also drove it for the first time since tightening up the bolts that hold the steering box to the frame - not quite as wayward as its been the last few years of little to no driving!
The diff leaks when full - trying to decide if I should replace the seal in the nose of the diff or just swap diffs with one form another Rover . . .
1958 107 SW - Sold to a better home
1965 109 SW - nearly running well
1966 88 SW - running but needing attention

Where did you source the drums from? I am in need of a pair but they are very pricey.

Josh,
At that price plus shipping you may want to look at disc brakes. I know too late now, but it would cross my mind.

No kidding. Almost $500 for two drums is ridiculous! Series 3, 6 cyl drums, with larger lug holes, are 1/3 the price. I am looking at machining some spacers to be able to safely run those.

Yeah, my Dormobile has the Euro 6 so I assume larger brake drums. I have yet to pull the drums and adjust the brakes but when I do I will be checking to see which models I have. At that price I will be scrapping and going with discs as once you add pads and MCs you are getting in the relm of discs. Mine is not original nor will it stay that way so it should not matter in the long run.

Today I'm picking my Rover up from the shop where, at long last, I had a new roll bar fabricated and rear crossmember welded in.
