What did you do to your Rover today?

[73series88]

finally got my winch mounted in the right place.
and got my tuffy box secured.
moved the od lever so it faces me and moved the cup holder over one screw hole. the lever is actually better now because it sits right in the center of the gearbox tunnel. and i can still use my cup holder. wasnt giving up on that.

Took the center seatbox cover off. placed the tuffy on the opening. drilled 3 holes through the box and through seatbox. put 3 bolts facing up with nylock nuts and fender washers on the seatbox. 2 in the back one in the front. then was able to lower the tuffy down on the bolts. then i just put some wing nuts to hold the box down. i can have it off in 30 sec.

Aaron, Do you thing the OD shifts well with the lever in that position? I just reasembled my tunnel after replacing the slave cylinder, and though about mounting it the was you did. It would allow me to reach less to engage it. Is there enough space to engage the OD while the shifter is in 4th?

[73series88]

much better this way
i dont have to reach down into the passenger footwell to shift
and doesnt even come close to hitting the shift lever

I Summerized the Lightweight - rolled up the canvas sides and took the door tops off.

Pulled speedometer out of the SIII to check out dead odometer...found pawl broken and spring missing innards. Swapped out speedo clockworks from parts truck and replaced missing spring with a good old ball point pen spring, put it all back together. Now odometer works great and according to GPS, speedo is dead nuts on. Great! No more "+7" road math.

My "top down" frame over continues....

Continued to work on the wiring in the dash, unfortunately the rats nest has bettered me as turn signals aren't working, half the gauge lights aren't working amongst other things. I have a feeling I'm going to have to spend a lot of time sorting this out...
