Stage 1 V8

Thanks very much for that. The parts book shows the front of the master cylinder goes to the front and the back to the back until July 1980, and then it's the other way around. I wonder if that's when they changed to the later NRC6096 master cylinder? I do know that a diagonal split on these systems...

Once again, Stirling, thanks for replying. (How come hardly anyone else replies to my posts . . . was it something I said?) That's helpful. I'm wondering if the master cylinder described on TeriAnn's site is an earlier one with opposite piping. The cylindrical thing on yours that you mention is call...

I'm in the process of turning my 109" SIIA into a Stage I-like mongrel and I'm putting in dual-circuit brakes. TeriAnn's site says that the master cylinder has the front pipe going to the rear brakes and the rear pipe goes to the front brakes. Now I've just bought an early 110 with the same mas...

Thanks for that, guys, I do appreciate it. I'd reckon 1100mm minus 25mm might be right?

1000kms? Why, that's no excuse!

Thanks for your reply - the part numbers are different, though. Not that that necessarily means anything.

So I guess no-one has a spare they can measure.

Sigh.

Because I have to get a 4-cylinder one adapted . . . does anyone have the length of the rear propshaft, at full extension and full compression? Usually a driveshaft specialist wants both measurements. Thanks to any and all!

Yeah, I thought it was something like that . . . well, that's not too bad then.

Thanks for that. I should be able to avoid the special manifold and just use extractors then.

No, I haven't been brave enough to ask about it yet! People do make things like extractors quite often. (Perhaps they are single men who live in sheds and don't have other distractions!) I've seen many examples of extractors made of bits of curved pipe so maybe it's common enough after all. I don't ...

For a normal person, yes, that would put you off! :lol: :lol: :lol: I've actually got two Range Rovers at the moment that I'm stripping for parts. I was going to rebuild the '79 2-door, but it's just too complicated for the carport I'm working in. All those plastic bits and things stuck under the da...

I've been wondering if 110 or Defender ones might work. The other option I was thinking about is from the Castlemaine Rod Shop at www.rodshop.com.au , where they have DIY extractor kits, listed here http://www.rodshop.com.au/catalogues/ExhaustSystems.pdf . One kit is for the P76 motor, which I THINK...

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I hadn't thought about taking any pictures but that's a good idea and I'll try and do it. It might make those of you who bought your Stage I already assembled pretty thankful! the treacherous morass that is Landrover ownership I'm well familiar with that . . . coming up...

Hi! Thanks for the welcome. I think I met you over at aulro, too.

The rails are the same distance apart, but the curve is different in that area, so I think that's the reason why the RH manifold is Rangie and the LH is special. I think I'll just try the Rangie LH when the time comes. Yikes!

Okay, bear with me here. I've just introduced myself over on the Intro page. I'm converting my 2.25 four-cylinder to a Stage I, including the axles, gearbox, and so on, and I was wondering why the LH exhaust manifold is so special to this model? Why wouldn't a Range Rover manifold fit? Or more to th...

I think you should have bought an old heap first so you'd know how lucky you are to have the one you've got! Very noice . . .

There are two metal loops welded under the left-hand side bent pipe of the roobar. I reckon they are for a waterbag. Maybe you should get one!
