What did you do to your Rover today?

On second thought my Rover may very well be one of the most expensive caskets known to mankind.

Istalled a broken rubber exhaust mount, installed new distrubtor PLE143 which doesn't work with my pertronix ....and put on a front shock that has been missing for 6 months.

I usually replace those broken rubber exhaust mounts but I am sure you have your reasons for installing a broken one

Call George at RDS. He has brand new Lucas 45D distributors available. I'm running one with a Pertronix:

The Lucas 45D4 with a Petronix is probably the bestest setup for a series. Solid, low maintenance and more immune to water than the Huge pile of CRAP Duciller..

Well finally got down to the rover 4.5 Hour drive. Finished wiring dash, new flasher installed, installed new generator, made a mess out my front panel for soft top ( was not bent right ), Painted some bits and pieces, drank beer...all is good.

Installed the electric fuel pump so I can be done with Vapor Lock (I hope!). Of course once that's done the Generator started smoking...lovely. Went and bought an Alternator, which will be going on tomorrow

My rover shed some weight and gained some patina when I pressure washed it today. I reckon it lost 20+ lbs of mud, and maybe 1/4 of its paint too.

Also last night it provided a great deal of entertainment for my girlfriend's little cousins as we drove it around town. Even with the 90wt smell and the rough ride they had a blast and begged to go back out every chance they got

Don't know where all the Ducellier hate comes from. I had a 2.25 petrol w/ducellier and pertronix setup which managed to stay running submerged for over an hour while I was stuck in a river. The alternator didn't survive that adventure though.

For today's rover work I had fun with JB weld and a gas tank.

He He He.....that WAS fun! I've never seen all gear oil cavities look like mayonaise!

My rover is my own personal money pit. I'm sure all you guys understand.

I was thinking heading down hill with a very stiff tailwind In neutral!!!!

[BGGB]

It was going downhill but in all fairness it was a calm day with no wind
