Windscreen thickness?

Hi.

I had to smash them out and stupidly did not measure the thickness before disposal.

Does anyone know, definitively, what the thickness of the glass is? Or willing to put a micrometer across the safari window for me

Ever grateful

Can someone who has done this please confirm that the hose from the PS pump feeds into the larger of the 2 ports on the MB steering box and the smaller of the 2 ports feeds back to the resevoir?

Running out of oil in the sump?

I really appreciate being able to ask what I suspect are silly questions. As a hobbiest, once the Internet has been exhausted, it's great to be able to throw out questions. I've transplanted a landrover 300tdi, auto box into my tgb13. All is well. I've plumbed in a new radiator, intercooler and oil ...

Photos of passenger footwell

Hi all

Would you be willing to provide me with some photos of the c303/4 passenger footwell.

Mine has been restored and I've lost some of the holes in the engine bay. See attached

I could do with a reference point.

Many thanks

Steve

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?

I knew I had spoken to someone who had put rear landrover 101 parabolic springs on a c303 As it happens this is the truck we were discussing. The owner has tried to sell it a few year earlier http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-TGB-1111-C303-4X4-PORTAL-AXLE-FORESTRY-OFFROADER-LANDROVER-/152091922183?has...

Body section jointing

Hi all

I'm getting ready to put my c304 cab back together and was wondering if there is a modern equivalent of the putty that I scraped off the from between the top and bottom sections of the cab.

Neoprene?

Any one with experience?
