Josh,

At that price plus shipping you may want to look at disc brakes. I know too late now, but it would cross my mind.

No kidding. Almost $500 for two drums is ridiculous! Series 3, 6 cyl drums, with larger lug holes, are 1/3 the price. I am looking at machining some spacers to be able to safely run those.

Yeah, my Dormobile has the Euro 6 so I assume larger brake drums. I have yet to pull the drums and adjust the brakes but when I do I will be checking to see which models I have. At that price I will be scrapping and going with discs as once you add pads and MCs you are getting in the relm of discs. Mine is not original nor will it stay that way so it should not matter in the long run.

Today I'm picking my Rover up from the shop where, at long last, I had a new roll bar fabricated and rear crossmember welded in.

Sean, I think that you will have the larger 16mm wheel studs and be able to use the series 3 drums. My 69 is a suffix G and the last to use the smaller 9/16 wheel studs. Luckily I found some 5/8 to 9/16 shaft adapter for about $1 ea that should work as spacers to safely run the drums with larger holes.

CLEANED the garage and all the accumulated "stuff" from under, in front of and on top off the Landy, next day or so, out of the garage, the TR7 in for head gasket, then the Landy back in and begin welding, looks good on paper anyway, chuckle chuckle

Yesterday I noticed they weren't - at dusk . . . more than an hour from home . . . details provided on the post 'Manual Headlight Relay"

Well, over the last few days I have been working on the clutch linkage on my '65. It had not been shifitng well since . . . well a LONG TIME. Some time late in the last millenium I remember needing to replace one of the pins in the cross shaft but not doing the other.

So I figured that I'd replace the other one.

Once you get the floorboards, transmission tunnel, front driveshaft and so on out of the way you only have to kind of limited access rather than nearly no access . . .

Getting a zip tie around the inner pin helps to keep you from losing it in the transmission's bellhousing.

The nice thing is that now with the pins replaced, the crossshaft greased up and tightened. it shifts like a dream, no more grinding into 1st, 2nd or reverse. Why didn't I do this years ago? Oi!

Did you have to ck them with a flashlight?

That time no . . . a few days later . . .

Set out to get a few hundred pounds of 78 gravel but ended up with 1,140lbs. Truck handled it great, I would have never guessed you could put over 1,000lbs in the bed. I bet it could have hauled 500lbs more.

Finished up replacing clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder and hose.

Washed gobs of mud out from underneath the chassis, took doggies for a joy ride, so they can hang their large triangle terrier heads out of the plentiful window bay with out door tops, so enjoyable,
