    Soon after it was time to place motor and trans back in.

    Everything lined up great and I was surprised how easy it all went it.

    Got Ikes bracket and new alternator with the dual pulley, having 2 belts is so neat i think.

    Gas tanks going back on...

    Borrowed a friends fancy camera and had a little photo shoot

    Early ones were on top, later ones were on the bottom, Though somehow I thought 1970 used later type axle.

    Terrys I do not know how to do the quote thingy! I agree about early ones being on top but I was informed that they were switched to the bottom with the IIA.

    I was very lucky to find this was the worst of the rust on the entire bulkhead.


    Cut out

    old vs. new

    Welding in new piece, drilled and cut holes to match old one.

    Got a 25 foot roll of brake line to make all new ones along with all new fittings. I used the entire roll and just made it by inches! (a few throw aways ill admit)

    powder coating the rear line. Ran it on inside of frame rail after reading another thread a while back. I assume that the holes through crossmembers and a few other brackets were for this?


    Got new rubber exhaust hangars in the mail. Hung the exhaust after some hi temp black powder coat.

    Now my attention is turned to body work. I already got my paint (Tan 686) same as Jac04's beauty. I am sanding as much as i need to get to good paint/metal. Enough for a self etching primer to stick.


    Now all that is left is more body work, all new wiring, and assembly.

    Powdercoated brake lines! Wow! I thought that I was going overboard by clear coating mine.

    The switch was within the 2A models, but I am not sure when. If I had guessed, I would have said well before 1970. I had a '70 ExMod, and mine were mounted to the bottom of the SBs.
    To do the 'quote thingy', instead of hitting 'reply', hit 'quote'. Then if you only want to quote a small bit, delete the rest, just leaving the bracketed (the parts inside the [ and] symbols) parts

    There have been a couple odd things along the way I have discovered about this 109. The frame bushings on the rear were the smaller diamater ones, and ones up front were larger series 3 ones. Did all military rovers come with salisbury rears? mine has rover axels with added on supports i assume for bracing? One of these days I want to send in my info i have for the rover to Early Military Land Rover Association and see what they can dig up...Painted on the side of the seat box was "T.M.P. O.R.D." That ring a bell to anyone?
