Hi Norman, any chance of borrowing the metal radiator pipes to see if my "pipe bending man" could copy them in stainless at a fair price ?

And, if its not too valuable whistle would be interested in a spare pedal box to play with !

Is that the electric window regulator I spy?

If so I may think about abandoning my manual regulator search and upgrade to electric (if the screw holes are the same are the same which I assume (mother of all **** ups) they are).

Wiring will be fun...

I've also got a set of dead (holed) V8S radiator pipes if you also want to have a go at those?
I don't need any but it might be an opportunity for your friend to make a few quid.

Ray S made me a new set in stainless - so it can be done, he made the pipes with the bend and put a weld bead around the ends to stop the pipes popping off, I'll try and post a pic at some point.

The V8 pipes also have provision for the otter switch for the fan, this is an M22 x 1.5 thread, however I chose not to have this in my pipes as you can get a different thermostat housing for the V8 which allows you to fit the switch there, which just made life easier with the pipes.
The thermostat housing is for a RR / Discovery with aircon I think.
I got it from Rimmer Brothers, I think it was about £38 which some may consider a bit steep I guess, but it solved the problem for me as I would have had to get some tools to sort the thread anyway.




Old pipes after a quick wire brush yikes

Hi Norman
Im quite interested in the seats as mine were re-covered by the previous owner rather badly - The piping is the wrong colour but at least they would be original. How much would you want for them?
Thanks
Jim

Norm,

what's happening with the engine on this one, as I'm after a sump (to replace my dented one eventually), but don't want a full engine as I can't store it?.

Other things I might be interested in would be radiator if it survived the crunch and is in good nick and the plugs (and about 6 inches of wiring to allow a splice) for the center console range rover switches if you are ripping the loom out and disposing of it.

By the way intend taking a day off work in Feb/Mar and travelling up to SCH venue for a pre-meet recce if you would wish to come so we could sort a hoon etc then I am sure we can arrange a mutually convenient date and I'll pick you up as I pass Droitwich.

Mark

ps that'll get some wondering biglaugh

pps: might also have that clutch off you if collecting other stuff let me know what you have and we can sort a price.

Hi mark

Would prefer the engine to go intact if possible but coulld let you have the sump if there arnt any taker.

The radiator was wiped out so no joy there and I'm not sure what you are refering to to when you say the plugs (spark plugs?)

Clutch pressure plate and driven plate are in good nick and all the switches are available, drop me a PM and we can talk price.

Yes to the Hoon to SCH '10 should be good for a laugh

yes the plugs push onto the back of the range rover/TR7 rectangular switches in the small center console

Norm,

I'll give you a ring in the week. Would probably take whole engine but weight is difficult this end as I don't have an engine hoist and would need to get it in and out of the boot of a Mondeo. Perhaps we can discuss and I'll try and borrow a hoist at this end
