My first entry is on page 36. I am an original owner. Your unit began production 21 December 1967. It was completed 12 January 1968. The original color was Limestone. It was shipped to Rover Baltimore. I have the original Parts Manual and some of the Shop Manual in pdf in my "Grandpa Box" iMac. The Front Brakes drawings and parts numbers are pages 40 & 41. If you want them, send me an email and I will attach them and send them to you. Jim Chandler redbrush2@yahoo.com

I have original IIA and NADA parts manuals, Owners Manual, and AutoBooks shop manual, as well as regular Haynes manual. Don't have authentic Land Rover IIA shop manual, unfortunately.
I have planned on turning the drums and riveting oversize pads to make up the distance, but was hoping someone knew a source for new drums of proper dimension. Not really important, I guess.
Put the Chevy 6 in years ago for better power and because the carb on the Rover 6 didn't like the Fairbanks winters. Eventually highway speeds became such that driving a Rover anytime other than for a lark resulted in too much angry traffic, so retired to farm use only. A few years ago my wife drove into a flash flood because the brakes were poor and wet, and narrowly escaped with her life. I dragged the Rover out and de-watered but the clutch eventually seized to the flywheel. I was regularly running the engine to maintain lube until I could pull it for clutch replacement, until at one point in the winter it wouldn't start. Found out the distributor gear and cam gear sheared. Oil pump likely seized, causing the damage. Engine out now, pending repair. Just can't find the time.
Had radiator built for outside the breakfast and put headlights on fenders, but planning on installing electric eventually.By the way, by off-road, I mean a lot farther than in Alaska Frontier. We don't have a road, and most of the year can't even get a Land Rover in or out. Still wearing the Work Horse Traction tires from about 1990, weather checks and all, and wishing they were still available.Comment

Some years back I stumbled across the "build" information for the complete series production run. I downloaded it.
