  1. I hope it doesn't turn out like the kit car build I was involved in back in my teens. Everything was going great, we had substituted better parts (mainly Porsche in place of VW) and had everything lined up and running. Wasn't until the test drive that we realized why others didn't do the same transaxle swap that we had. We had four reverse gears and one forward! By using the 'wrong' transaxle, we'd changed the drive direction. Regards, Graeme
  2. Miles, I think you will find that all fires and stoves are banned currently, except in developed campgrounds. Regards, Graeme
  3. You know they sell it in O'Reillys? Oh, it leaks so bad that you need a 55 gallon drum? Got it! Regards, Graeme
  4. Andrew, That is the cleanest chop saw I have ever seen! Regards, Graeme
  5. I said on standard wheels. If you're running 0 offset then that is like a standard wheel with a 33mm spacer, so that should work for steering on full lock. Bear in mind that you don't get something for nothing. Bearing wear and ackerman angle will both be affected, although maybe not enough to concern you. Regards, Graeme
  6. I think Miles has them on RRC wheels and you have a D2, so it won't help you much. The largest you can fit depends upon the brand and style of tire, but a 265/75 on standard D2 wheels may or may not rub on full lock, but will not rub arches on full articulation. For example, a BFG AT KO will not but a KO2 will (due to the side biters). Not enough to worry about though. A lift in itself will not help with arch rubbing, extended bump stops will. At full compression the axle will be in the same place whether you have longer springs or not. A 285 is going to rub on full lock, without wheel spacers (on standard wheels). Regards, Graeme
  7. But it is really difficult to read light text in the bright mode .... Regards, Graeme
  8. We can help you solve that problem .... https://ecdautodesign.com/ until .... https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck Regards, Graeme
  9. I don't actually know the name, I just know where they are (San Carlos / Belmont border, on Industrial). I'll look next time I'm over that way. Regards, Graeme
  10. I wasn't doing mine, just researching for the future. Tim was the one looking. LSeats samples didn't thrill me, and I have a local shop that did some amazing seat and carpet work on a prior XJS, so I'm sorted for mine (actually have an XK8 seat that I want them to redo soon). It was a few years ago, and it was pricey then though. Regards, Graeme
  11. Ron, Next you'll be saying you went over to the dark side and bought a j--- I recently justified having multiple LRs. A discussion about how you go shopping and prevent infection. It doesn't matter how many masks or gloves you wear while shopping, you touched every item. You then touch the bags, the door handle, and then the steering wheel. Even if you change gloves, you touch the new gloves while putting them on. Next time you go out to your car (within the "72" hours that are often quoted as 'infection time') you touch those items and .... but if every time you go out you use a different Land Rover then you're safe!!! Stay safe ... and buy Land Rovers Regards, Graeme
  12. Are they Dixon-Bate (or are there no signs of the OEM on them?) I've always found them more use mounted on the back than the front .... Regards, Graeme
  13. Miles, Yes, but only just. Basically, the State Department said to get home within 48 hours or risk being abroad "indefinitely". I didn't like that idea, so complied. Regards, Graeme
  14. Miles, Actually, I worked 56 hours last week .... when we come out the other side I'd like a job to go to, and unless I make sure my department hits the ground running, we will be last in line for tradesmen to do the real work. Now is my time to get vendors on-boarded, quotes in and analyzed, and P.O.s placed. The big "E" saw a large number of my P.O. requests yesterday. It is raining this weekend so I can't get outside to do garden work, and the Rovers are sadly neglected. Regards, Graeme
