Oh... I see. Just remember the harder you make it the more "bucky" the Brumby will be

The light weight black spring is called a keeper spring, it is only any use for lowered cars with short springs. It enables you to lower the car height while still ensuring the spring remains captive when the wheel is in full droop.
Probably not needed in your application unless the platform thread does not go high enough for you to capture the spring when unloaded if you removed the keeper spring and donut.

Having had enough of my forever leaking fuel filler I decided that I would remove it and fix the holes in the pipe.
I really wish I had just left it alone now as soon as I started to clean the metal with a wire brush on a grinder the holes appeared everywhere around the other holes.
Pipe out of PJ
a small problem in the panel work
close up before cleaning
this crack extends nearly the whole way around the pipe
as this is beyond welding, soldering or braising solvent resistant silicone was my next option
a layer of green gaffa tape for hope
now I need to find a filler pipe that isn't destroyed the last one I took out of a brumby had a similar problem

Hey Jules.. check with Guyph, as he was wrecking a nice looking MY Touring Wagon.. just maybe, he may have this filler neck?

Jules - a viable replacement option is to use a (galvanised I think they are) filler pipe from a circa 1988 - 89 MY Range Rover. Its the 4 door model that has the recessed filler cap and not the one with a flap/cover fitted.
The pipe near enough goes straight on ! Just have to find a rubber bottom elbow. Even has a breather in place too:D
The cap is about 1000 times better than the subie one too !:mrgreen:
Did you have any joy with the pas parts for me yet ? (or the full caboogle)
Ps hows the new job doing ?

Pictures of said Range Rover part Giles?
and now for another update
I have had a Momo steering wheel for some time now but it was for an MX5 (Mazda Miata)
this arrived on Tuesday afternoon
which lead to this
I was very suprised at the difference the wheel actually makes and after driving to Perth and back last night to see Suicidal Tendancies (wooooo hoooooo) I'm extremely impressed with the way it is working.
now all I need is the matching Subaru centre

Was thinkin' not many Rangies in wrecking yards here in Oz - full stop - worth more as scrap metal !
I should publicly add that I like the clock replacement in the dash , more the mounting method. I have started to hack away at one dash to fit an L Series tacho next to speedo - ABORT, ABORT
Another dash started to remove clock for oil pressure gauge - boxed and put aside for fiddly time years ago.
Have also thought to replace the interior fan switch somewhere else to fit a gauge in its place. Brumby is short on space to safely place gauges and be able to view easily....

Rangie fuel filler pipe.
Firstly let me start a competition as to guessing exactly just how many gallons of petrol will have flowed down this thing over the years ? At about 8 - 12 (best) miles to the gallon quite possibly enough to fill what was the Torre Caynon super tanker !
Climbed up into the heady heights of the garage loft earlier this evening and found the Rangie filler pipe,
so here are the images of the pipe which would work on a brumby.
BTW I Like the new ''round'' view in your office Jules - the new wheel really works !

If you cant get sorted out via Andy - there are about 10 or so suitable Rangies breaking here on ebay alone atm.TOONGA wrote:
Giles Im sure that would fit but I would need to re-plumb the breather pipes and I can bet you aint going to part with that one
Andy a price would be great (send me a PM)

Best not part with this particular one after Dad spent ££ and hours cleaning and painting it up for me
Finding another should not be a prob tho.
