Disco2Guy Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 My RTE radius arms were delivered today:) They are much beefier than I was expecting and look like they can take a good beating. New nuts and bolts are on order from Rovers North but will take a few weeks for delivery (they had to get them from the UK). I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to install them but will post more pics when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astateofmike Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I was like "why do they look so funny" until I remembered, DII... I only look at the RRC ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco2Guy Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Today I drove to Colin's house so we could install the radius arms. It seems like the arms are the same length as stock, but the caster has been adjusted. I'm going to talk to Bill at RTE and see what he says since they are supposed to be 1-1/8" longer. We also got the Bilstein's installed up front. I checked my records and these shocks were bought from Cambo on 8/19/2009. That's 3 years to the day from purchase to installation! Not bad:P Big thanks to Pedram as well for modifying the turrets. Being able to drop the shock straight down to the mount worked great. Here's a comparison shot and one of the lower mounts for now. I'll post more showing the locations of the reservoirs, which might need some brackets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 So, due to some interesting life changes, I've got a favor to ask and I know it's a long shot. Does anyone have a parking spot for one of my Rovers for a little bit (can be flexible on how long, but a month would be helpful)? Or if anyone has any ideas of reasonably affordable / secure parking as far south as Redwood City / Woodside that would be helpful. Or a warehouse. Thanks!

El Solis Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I also have space, outside and not on the peninsula though. You are welcome to store it as long as you like. Yard is secure, have to get past the gate, the dog, me, and a semi functional CT110, pretty much in that order. Dog really hates strangers in the yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeWare Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Does anyone have a parking spot for one of my Rovers for a little bit (can be flexible on how long, but a month would be helpful)? Or if anyone has any ideas of reasonably affordable / secure parking as far south as Redwood City / Woodside that would be helpful. Or a warehouse. There is room on the road outside my place and nobody would notice another Rover parked there .... leave the keys ... and you know Rovers are better driven than parked .... (I think I'd accept one of the other offers that you've had though ...) Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks guys! Will work through options, but I think I owe Tom (and all you guys) a round of beers. Or fries at the next Peninsula gathering. Too many damned Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astateofmike Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well, that 1981 would look good in place of my LWB maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandRonB Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, due to some interesting life changes I know it - making room for the CT110 (smile). Well wishes with the life changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Haha! Ron, I wish but alas I don't think that will be happening for a bit. Life changes and all, and threw a rod in the '81 driving it home tonight... so that's tossed a real wrench into plans. Guess it will be getting a 4.6 now. Rovers - always something. Drove the Hunter home, expecting something crazy to happen but I made it in one piece so that's a bit of good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astateofmike Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wish it could be that easy..LWB is having issues, a 4.6 it gets. I think my wife would kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Solis Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 that looks pretty stock to me, or at least on mine. I have pieces falling off all over the place. Engine still starts right? run it till it don't! hee her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Solis Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I saw the hole, looked at mine, looks the same so therefore = stock really if you look at the workshop manual they describe this as alternative cooling method for hot climates, just requires lots of oil (which fortunately is the environment they were speaking of).

Disco2Guy Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am going to design a funnel that catches any oil leaking from the engine and drains it back into the sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astateofmike Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I thought it was a new inspection hole? Brenton, when you get that set up, let me know..I could use one. Will it be big enough for the whole engine and drive train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Now I'm expecting to see this same hole in the 5.0 in my 2010. Maybe I'll go down to the garage and look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
