I have used them for years, occasional cock-ups but always corrected.I
usually deal with Dave or Michael. One thing they developed was the computer
print out showing the prices as Genuine versus Non-genuine which is very
helpfull with a large order. We usually get a few of the guys together to
place a combined order. As for the non-smiley thing, it is probably a
language thing Frank, they probably couldn`t follow your accent. :-)

Subject: Overdrives, Gearbox, and Bad Drivers

1. Re overdrives, what is the word on the high-ratio conversion for the
transfer box? Pros, Cons? I use my SIII 109 2.25 as a daily driver, a lot
of miles on the freeway. Also, anybody know anyone in Australia offering
parts/conversions? From what I have heard it sounds like a good idea, but
since the overdrives seem more popular despite their faults, there must be
a downside I haven't heard about.

2. Will be writing a conclusion to my gearbox problems which might be of
interest to those who have seen my earlier questions. I have done a post
mortem and plan to reassemble tomorrow. 

3. Those of you who think that Denver has the worst drivers are welcome
anytime to come drive here with me in Bangkok, Thailand. The only rule here
is that there is no rule. The nice thing is that tickets can be easily
settled on the spot...

peter wants to put some ser 2 parts into a 2A gearbox.

 It can be done, you would need to change the layshaft first gear, the
mainshaft first gear and the reverse gear idler. I say agian that the parts
from the old box are probably past their best and not worth changing. The
layshaft first gear is not very expensive, particularly on the aftermarket
scene. In addition the teeth on the 15 tooth ( early frist gear are smaller )

All a matter of perspective.
The worst drivers I ever encountered were in Saudi around Riyadh.
Did see lots of old style T*yota Land Cruisers that looked in excellent
shape while there. Quite a few in use by the Saudi military with machine
guns mounted in the back.

In the states the worst were in Providence RI.

Might get an argument here but the best drivers I encountered were the
British.
Gotta love those roundabouts; there are a few new ones near me in Ellicott
City,
Maryland, but I get confused going the wrong way around them in my RHD
109.

regulator with their own designs or vr kits. Can an electrical engineer
give me an idea of how to build a simple 10v regulator for the SIII
instruments? I can solder and make my way around an automotive electrical
system just fine, but I have no knowledge of circuit design. I can put
everything together, though, and I have a pretty well stocked electronics

Subject: FS: Series II (not IIa) engine

Hi all,

That's right, I'm selling the Brick's old Series II petrol engine.  It runs
flawlessly, has minor leak at the front cover but a new rear mainseal.  The
oil pump is right in the middle of spec (50 psi at 2K).

Why am I selling it? simple.  I rebuilt a motor (originally for my son's LR)
and decided to put it in the Brick when the other project didn't happen (Son
wants a truck to tow his horse trailer and wants an automatic).  It ran great
when it came out.  I'm not inclined to keep it as a spare, 'cuz I don't need a
good running engine sitting for years (seals, gaskets, valve springs etc don't
take kindly to that sort of treatment).

I figure someone may be looking for a SII engine in good nick to replace an
ailing one in an effort to maintain originality.  (It probably is not the
Brick's original motor-probably a rebuild put in it back in the late '80's.)

Located in Maryland...

Nate

Well, not actually.  I was stopped this afternoon for driving excessivly
slowly-- I was going 45ish in a 50, until the cop started tailgating me,
when I slowed down.  I suspect it was a case of stop the long-haired punk
in the goofy car with mis-matched body panels.  Unfortunatly for the cop,
I am not a wanted criminal, and all the lights work, so he had to let me

a man has needs"

A wedding in Crete was "postponed indefinitely" after the bride-to-be took
some friends home to see her wedding dress. Not only did they find the groom
wearing it, but he was locked in a passionate embrace with the best man at
the time.

In Acapulco, Luis Lopez pawned his wife Cheyne. He complained that she was
worth at least £100 rather than the £45 he got for her.

At least the following can save money on the Valentines cards, animals can't
read........

In Verona, Italy a man and his cat are being treated for CJD, Since the
strain hasn't been found in cats before, the authorities suspect that the
man passed it on.......

In New Dheli Mr Dharamvar has been charged with pleasuring his friend's
buffalo.

In Oxfordshire, England (a long, long way from Lancashire, may I point out)
farmers apprehended a naked 16 years old boy trying to make a pair of "made
to measure" woolly trousers. Nothing wrong with that, except that the
trousers were still bleating.

In Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, Martin Hoyle has been jailed for a year
after being caught having sex with a Staffordshire Bull Terrier by the
roadside.
"The dog raped me" claimed Hoyle in court, "I can't help it if it took a
liking to me."

Best Cheers
