I know! This is a toy. And I do prefer original, mostly. RRC LSDs, HD shafts, disks, wolf rims, 110 2.5 petrol and CVs not withstanding.

Plastic? I was trying to keep it somewhat original, seemed somewhat appropriate. But I do debate whether I should bother, to be honest.

Not impressed with my cable ties. They're okay, but didn't tighten fully. I might try a different type. The type I tried were smooth and they sold back slightly when tightened. Plus the excess sticks out and looks untidy. I think I'll run this excess of and for it back into the buckle. For the outer pipe attachment I slipped some heat shrink tube on first, and used this to hide the trimmed excess.

I found long strings of silicon in the water jackets behind the frost plugs. It was blue, if I recall.

Only (possibly - I may be wrong about this) land rover owners keep vehicles for decades, rather than scraping them when the vehicles are 7 years old.

I thought that a few cars were running these electric blowers as standard? It was why some vehicle systems run on 48v. Or was I dreaming again? With electric water pumps and PAS, one can see a trend.

I bought a chunk of stainless cable ties. I'll try them and see.

Plus, the PDWA rebuild kit arrived today. So that exercise will start Friday evening.

Perfect. Thank you.

Thanks for that, are there two lines going to the back on the 2a? No! The 2a near side goes via the bell housing X member, doesn't it? And is that a civilian series 3, single line system? The series 3 lightweight were dual lines I think.

Global warming? I'll get my coat.

They look a little bit sooty, don't they? Does that mean the engine is a bit rich?

The Zeus versions look better.

That would work. The question is now: I can get 10 stainless steel cable ties for the price of one "proper" tie. This isn't a concourse rebuild, so I'll just buy the 10 cable ties, I think. Thanks everyone!

Is that what they are called? Knowledge is power. But minimum orders are a killer. Thanks.

Does anyone have a genuine axle brake line retaining clip to hand? How long is it? I'm concerned that the standard length may be too short for the reinforced lightweight axle. And how are these fitted?

My 109 is the same. I'm trawling through various lightweight rebuild threads to see if I can find a photo. Thanks.

That's interesting, because I don't recall taking a tee off the front when I striped the chassis, but the brakes were not original, so I didn't give the set up much thought. Thanks.

Does anyone have a photo of the front Tee piece in situ on the brake line, for a lightweight? What does it attach to? Also, did Rover use the plastic clips to attach the front line to the chassis throughout the series 3 production run? The parts book only had plastic for the front, but both metal and plastic for the back.

I've them on the lightweight, not road tested yet, but they fitted fine to the series hubs. These were for wolf rims on a series with disk brakes.

You shouldn't be too hard on the later vehicles, I know they aren't as good as a series, but they are still decent vehicles.

Yes, the rattles can be irritating, they really distract from the experience.

That's sensible. The shroud holds the fuse box on mine as I'm trying to keep the interior vaguely standard. You have no such limitations.

No. That's missing the bracket for the cowl screw.

Bracket way too small.
