FC II-A or II-B Owners - Help for a Friend

[Jeff Aronson]

Ivar,

I'm cutting and pasting your message and will email it to him. Apparently there's some issue with registration without an engine number.

Hi there Jeff,

Get your friend to e-mail me directly on rademaker.marc@gmail.com. Where is he in South Africa as I am in Johannesburg. He will not be able to register the vehicle without the engine number. As my Ivar, my brother, let you know, I have a specialist Land Rover workshop and own a Forward Control myself, so if I can be of help, it will be a pleasure.

Marc.

Its a few days late and a few Rand short but here is what i got from Landy on Line

Richard,

The number is usually stamped (not very deep or clearly) on the engine block forward of the exhaust manifold on a slanted face pointing towards the exhaust manifold side of the engine.

I will have a look at an engine at home to confirm.

Regards
Brian

If his engine is anything close to what mine looked like after i had it painted in Zimbabwe he will most likely need to scrape the paint off to see the engine numbers.

FYI, the guys at Landy On Line sent this, confirming the placement of the engine numbers:

CONFIRMED - in front of #1 exhaust port on the block.
