What did you do to your Rover today?

[alaskantinbender]

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.

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.

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".

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.

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,

I can start mine with the wind up handle which might not sound odd like your new starter but sure looks funny.

I had 4 Yokohama 235X85X16 tires installed on RN 16" Proline Wolf wheels. Trying to save up for the 5th wheel and tire.

well the weather has been a little nasty here in Northern NY, rainy and 50's, good time to work in garage. I have spent some time on the 58; replaced the felts on the door window channels, removed the rear window channels and spent hours removing the caulking the PO used to seal them, removed the aftermarket fuel pump and plumbed in a correct SU fuel pump, removed the incorrect carb and attempted to install a rebuilt solex 32bpi (need a few connections, on order), drained the rear diff to see why plug leaks and to replace pinion seal. More to follow today/tomorrow.......

Put the exhaust manifold on. Can't fit the turbo so we are needing to find a 200 TDI defender manifold to put in later. For now the red rover is only going to be a 200DI. Anyone have a Defender manifold?

Installed Truck-Lite LED headlights in the Series this weekend.
