No kidding?

All on the same engine or did you have to do a couple of rebuilds?

If you're still interseted, I have a speedo in MPH and am looking for a km/h speedo.

Want to trade?

If you want to know what gears are in your box this site may be helpful

It's in Dutch but if you scroll down to the LT95 it shows you exactly how the different gear-ratios look and how many teeth the gears have

LRM featured the replacemnt of a tub floor in a 109 SW three or four months ago. it seemed pretty straightforward allthough they had some tips on how to do it. the used a new britpart floor. for this. i imagine a 100 floor should be the same.

On the other hand , you can just drive tour RHD car there. I live in the Netherlands and have been driving a Uk-bought RHD SIIA for years now. Only overtaking lorries can be a bit of a challenge. Last year i bought a RHD stage one that I just started to rebuild. I'll probably will rebuild it as a LH...

Maybe we can start a nice links page, specifically for Stage one's?

Hello guys, I'm still comntemplating this conversion myself and in the meantime found this site with nice info to identificate the different gear-pairs: http://www.vislandrovers.nl/extra/revisiedelen/versnel.php#v7 Still thninking about wether to upgrade to a 3.5 9.75CR or a to a more expensive 3.9 ...

The pics of my engine are on: http://timwilmshurst2.blogspot.com/ as you can see the 2 holes on the manifold down to the left and the hole coming out from the joining piece on the 2 carbs. I am not sure what these parts are and where to get them from The joining piece is the actual air-filter. ther...

Andy, What kind of rims do you run on your zeus disc brakes? I've heard that the standard steel rims don't fit with them and that you need to go to wolfs or similar with wider offset. I don't really like the look of the more "modern" rims on my truck. Also in the december LRM it is announc...

Ok. I stand corrected. Basil is of course right in that is your truck and you can decide whatever you want with it. Just some points however: the 109v8 track is a little smaller than that of a 110 and you'll have difficulty filling the spats. Also look at :http://www.stage1v8.org.uk/igallery/11.html...

Yes I agree. The stage 1 is a rare and historically significant vehicle. You can see prices going up already. 110V8 are plentifull. Better to swap if that is what you want. Worst choice will be if you make the 109 look like a 110. I'm afraid you will look foolish. Best choice as far as I am concerne...

The overgearing is exactly why I'm thinking about increasing compression and putting in an hi-torque camshaft. I was just wondering if somebody went the same route before me and could tell me if it would be enough or that a should, as Basil did, put in an 3.9

Hello Basil, Can you remember were you got your gears from? Were they new or did you take them from an old range rover or 110V8? Were you happy with the pulling power with the long gears? I run my 2.25 petrol SIIA with an ashcroft conversion and find 4th gear just a little bit to long especially wit...

I am planning the restauration of my Stage1 Stationwagon. The V8 that is in it is performing reasonably. I plan however to open it and give it a good clean and inspection and to replace any worn parts. Do you think it is worthwile to replce the pistons with a higer compression type? I will be runnin...
