What did you do to your Rover today?

Or this one: http://siteground237.com/~gunsandr/showthread.php?1479-Fairey-OD

I'm open to offers...

Sorry Tom--I forgot about yours. I only remembered about the other one because the listing popped back up to the top the other day.

Today, I repaired the brake adjuster, It was spinning freely. It was peculiar. A small annular section had separated free around the adjuster. It seems that originally it was assembled in a press tool where a square hole was present in the backplate......anyway.....

Cut off old cam and post:


The remains. I freshened up the teeth on the cam while it was out.


I made a small piece to repair the original hole:


I fitted it:


I cleaned it up:


I set the distance to match a good one. I triple checked that the cam was facing the right way:


From the other side:


I cut off the bolt to length and welded it solid:


I touched up the paint it:

I'm sure that you know there is a repair kit for that.

[westcoastkevin]

A vendor I trust told me the kit was not really correct for series ones and was a piece of crap that he would not put on his own car. Also, I only needed to repair one. .. so I fixed it.

Man, Kevin, you should have your own build thread. I'm digging it.

Meh, worked for me. Did both sides of the 109 many years ago.

On the SWB RRC:
Adjusted track rod and tie rods, steering stops. Vacuumed out the rear area, wow, just wow. Did someone have a mud pie fight back there?
Made front license plate mount.
Ran it thru the wash.

Nice.

I'm pulling everything above the body cappings, folding the windshield and going for a nice long drive on this beautiful, 75-degree last Sunday of winter.

Bought mine!




Added it to the family: 72 Ser III. She's rough but I can see past it all. I couldn't be any happier this weekend.

I don't know, but it must have been magical!
Yesterday I fixed my backfiring, stalling, and idling problems, so I thought all would be well today. Went to start it this AM..........nothing. Lights and stuff worked, but nada at the starter, not even clicking. Tried jumping, looked for loose wires or connections, checked fuses....nothing. Unhooked the battery terminal again (2nd time) and it started right up.
It's Lucas Magic I tell 'ya!!!

Bought mine!

Ike's gonna love you. The Brownchurch rack is worth the whole rest of the truck.
Hope the engine and drive train is in better shape than the body.

never easy

Well Thought I'd complete my dual brake conversion today. There have been about 2 extra weeks ordering, waiting, reordering correct parts, tidying up and taking care of some bulkhead issues, recondition clutch tower, rebuild master... while fenders were off.
Started with the clutch a real PITA to get at bleeder. Well the bleeder valve loosened OK but proptly decided to strip the threads. Now remove drivers side floor, tunnel cover and bulkhead cowl to get at the slave.
Yup, stripped bad, back to ordering parts, wait.......... This job has been one of those all day suckers

Finally hosed the gobs of mud from under the truck left from Winter Romp. Now the side yard is covered in rover poo!
