What did you do to your Rover today?

[griswald]

I installed a new high torque starter from another vendor...it should have been very easy, but I could not get the top bolt in...I removed a couple of hex bolts, and turned the mounting flange a couple of clicks and then it went in about 5 minutes.
Sounds odd, but turns over the ol 2.25 quick.

Best,
Griswald

if the set up works I would be interested in more pictures of it.

Sorry best I can do for now. I have already left home headed back to work overseas.
The valve located over the oil fill cap turns the flow on/off to the carb heat.
You can just see the kodiak heater lines on the left side of the pic and the lines running down going to the rear heater.
On a different note you can also see my defender 2 circuit brakes and booster on the right side of the pic.

Yesterday I put down cash for a galvanized chassis which I'll be picking up in a few weeks. Can't wait to get started on the frame-over of my Series III 88".

Yes it is something isn't it. Kodiak heater, rear heater, intake/carb heat. As well as lots of shut off valves
to control everything. The previous owner was very serious about staying warm in the winter.

The Pierce air plenum arrived. This will allow me to use my oil bath air cleaner with the webber carb.
Now to think about some snorkel bit's and modifying the oil bath filter for same.
Here is a poser pic of it sitting on the existing carb filter base.

Had an electronic fuel pump and a Pertronix electronic ignition installed. She now runs great

Found this nice Rover Viking bonnet badge from a 1950's P4.

a vacuum leak? btw nice truck.

If you mean me a fuel leak from the carb accelerator pump area & thanks

I also installed a electronic kit, but Hot Spark. Seems to run very well and started right up this morning. replaced the hub gaskets, no more oil on the wheels. Got them from HNJ Engineering UK

[Buster]

Installed a Pertronix electronic point replacement. Cranked and idled well, but haven't set the timing so didn't get it out and drive it.

I have the third hinge planned. Where is the best place to add more structure to the door?
It does seem pretty heavy with the spare mounted.

Thanx

Jim

Raised the spare tire mount on the rear door and mounted my hi lift jack.
The old truck is looking more to my liking now. Still don't have a name, but it will come with time.

while you'r at it, you should add extra steel to the door frame and/or a third hinge to cope with the weight. The stock doors can warp and bend real easy with the weight of a tire on it all the time.
