1977 Series iii Santana

New to me. Complete and rust free but non-running and needs total mechanical overhaul. New petrol engine built and mounted but not connected one year ago. I found a local guy with LR experience to take on the project. Wish me luck, I have a feeling I’m going to need it.

Another one followed me home

Was once a fire appliance! Now so rusty that the chassis was falling apart on the way home

Anyone had a pto fitted to their kand rover and plumbed a hydraulic pump for a winch or similar?

A series 1 with pto has fallen in my lap and wondering if I do somethjng with the pto.

Every other time I've had one I've jist sold the unit for profit

‘67 SIIa ex-MOD 109 leaf springs?

I could use some advice. I went from a canvas top to a two-door style full hardtop. I’m also running a full roof rack on a Bettaweld external rollcage. Lots of weight. When loaded for camping it is even heavier. My beat to shit original springs are toast and I need new springs. My rig looks like a squatting dog.
I’m running a small block Chev mated to a NV4500 and a part-time Defender T-case. After extending the frame horns by 8” I’m running 109 rear three leaf parabolic springs up front which handle the load perfectly. My go-to for four leaf parabolics is Jeremy at Rocky Mountain but he’s out of the game.
Anybody have suggestions as to rear springs that will bring the rear end up? I no longer do off-road competitions so extreme suspension travel doesn’t matter. I’m under a time crunch because the All British Field Meet in Portland OR is coming up in about a month. I can’t show up on the field looking like a dog taking a dump!

Side note: my rollcage is the last one the owner of Bettaweld made before his horrific motorcycle accident. Beautiful workmanship. The Land Rover world lost the abilities of a brilliant man.

Ignition switch for 1976 Series III

I've searched everywhere and can only find 5 pin switches and they don't include the barrel assembly.

Mine is six pin, no column lock and diesel. There is no hole in the body of the switch to release the barrel.

Thoughts?
