One month later....

Turns out, I was focused on the wrong car show. All this time, we were aiming for the All British Field Meet in Portland, OR over Labor Day weekend......!


Installed new, proper Land Rover seat belt anchors. In the picture below the smaller holes in the rubber mat are the new anchor points. The old anchor points have been covered with washers. If our reconditioned heater and lower dash plenum does not do the job in keeping us warm, those holes will come in handy to run water lines to an auxiliary heater mounted under the middle seat of the middle row.




A new, hinged and lockable toolbox cover was installed. Previously, we had a cutout section of rear tub as a loose lid.

Gord'n created a new transmission tunnel to accomodate the new position of the gear shift and transfer case controls. The R380 shift tower sits higher than the Series III tower so he had to create a pedestal so the rubber gaiter would fit. Here is a top view:



And a side view:


Our new 110 speedometer installed in our dash. Gord'n also installed a new speedo cable and converted the method of attaching it to the transmission. We no longer have to mess with those three little screws. Instead, he installed what I think is a Range Rover clip mechanism--the cable is held in place with a U-shaped spring clip that is pushed into place.

  1. How did all of that spray on insulation work.
    Did it quite down the truck much?
