Chris- I've never seen a filler NEXT to the engine. I applaud whoever thought that up but would also be a little worried of fuel vapor ignition. Alas, one cannot be a worry wort and hope to enjoy their series landy. I bought one of the factory underseat type tanks ($20 bucks used on eBay) to do some...

Yeah I wish it was still up and running. Oh well, we're certainly going strong here. I like that there aren't so many people that we can't get our questions answered before they are bumped off of the page by a new question. Everyone here is extremely helpful and eager.

Andy- I have bought a Bendix replacement for mine from dingocroft. I think it was around 40 quid maybe 50. Sounds like your issue is electrical, but there is a renewable filter in there that's probably worth checking. Might want to pop it open and see how the plumbing looks. . . take care not to los...

Series III dash

Hey all- You may have seen on my website that the dash was pretty well eaten away on the inside . . . the molded shell was there but the stamped sheet steel was all rusted to dust and jagged edges. I'd like to get a hold of a new (or very nice used) dash. Our guys charge in excess of $1000 US for al...

Chris- Well done. Wish my Ruby looked that clean. She will, though. You asked about a couple of holes on the panels. The square holes on top of the front of the wings look like what used to be antenna mounts that would be found on an ex military vehicle. However, I don't see any other telltale evide...

Chris-

That was the first Stage One site that I had found in my searches last year. Unfortunately, it hasn't been maintained since November or so of 2004. I think a few of those people migrated over here, but the webmaster doesn't answer e-mails anymore and the site never changes.

I have talked about this with many people before in various applications. One, you would have to have the center diff locked all of the time because of the difference in load on the front and read axles that you would create. Differences in load (traction) between front and rear for any extended amo...

Chris- Go to summittracing.com . . . they have all of this at amazing prices. Shipping even up here to alaska was beyond reasonable. Look at my website to see where I got all of my stuff and about how much I paid for it. If you buy all of this from them, you will save HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of do...

The site makes it pretty easy to link to photos, but I don't think you can upload them to the BBS. I can host them if you want to send them via email.

Eric- I am soon to do this. Just get a set of capilers and measure the width of the floor for the correct sheet width. I am going to have a local aluminum supplier stamp out a pattern and then fold it with a press. You'll need to buy or fabricate the new underfloor crossmembers. They are still avali...
