Daurie!! I think you did well. Not sure of your directions I feel. Check out your left and right or are you in Britain or like my wife - Turn left -right here.
I think that the green spring is a shoe returm spring possibly top, for an 88 in model- either fron or rear. Since I hve 2 feet + snow here and more coming before Christmas, I am not going to pull a wheel to check that out.
That L shaped piece is not familiar - it is not on any of my spare wheel carriers.
During the process of cleaning out the Rover, I discovered a few more parts.
1.) Can anyone identify this gauge cluster? Is it originally from a Rover or a military vehicle?
well this cluster is US military but I can't plase it at this time. its not from a m151, m37 or m38 almost looks like it was off of a gen set or something.
The three items on the bottom right are for a hood mount spare tire carrier. The 2 L shaped pieces secure the tire and the bolt (one of two) is what holds it down. to the right of those 3 pieces is a fuel pump. Not sure what the 2 chrome plated things are. Cigarette lighter (obviously) , to the left of the lighter are some distributor points. The green spring is undoubtly for a brake assembly (possibly parking brake). a steering box top right. Above that to the right a 16 or 20 oz styrofoam cup, to the right of that a NGK box. To the right of that tube of Permatex Ultra Black (good stuff) Above that a roll of blue painters masking tape.
2.) --- Is there suppose to be some type of drain hole to drain the water outside of the inner door panel...similar to having a vapor barrier? I'm trying to understand what is going on. The felts in the window tracks have been replaced in the near past. Should I drill a small hole somewhere to allow it to drain? If so, where? See pictures below:
The water that leaks down past the window tracks should flow out the 2 weep holes....Located on the exsterior bottom edge of the door tops ....1.5" or so from the front and rear,,,,, If they're blocked water can collect in the lower cavity of the window frames.

Did I get my left and right mixed up AGAIN!!!?? After as many years as it's been ... Turn left.. right? Right! right? or left?? all the while pointing both directions.
The spare tire holddown is a definate. I've seen a few variations of tire securing options which all have diffirent hardware. It seems like the others all employ some sort of strap where on mine which uses the shown pieces its all 'hard" wear and no straps. I need to take some pictures of various things.. I'll snap one of the tire carrier.

Thanks dave. I checked and did not see a weep hole anywhere on the exterior upper part of the door. I may end up taking it off to inspect further. I guess if anything, i could drill a small hole. Just want to make sure I do it in the right place.

They liable to not be there...... For one reason or another....
Will attempt to post-up a pic, The weep holes are located 1.5" to 1 5/8" from the edge.

EDIT: I did in fact find the weep holes. They were covered/sealed up by the rubber gasket that is in between the upper window frame and lower door, thus causing the water to pool up inside the door and leak towards the inside.
I had to cut away a bit of rubber to free up the hole. Now water leaks out. Thanks again for the tip!
