    Differential hanger bushes.....any ideas?.

    No, the difference is to the other side of the mount, which is why you’d have to shim the mount. It’s much easier to just buy the proper original mounts, which is exactly what I did 8 years ago when I started this thread!.

    Differential hanger bushes.....any ideas?.

    It’s not that you can only get the ‘shorter’ mounts, you can buy 1.70” mounts, but as described above the centre tube is bonded into the rubber in a different place on 578080 mounts. To obtain the correct diff height for a late 3500 using the reproduced 553975 mounts, a 3/8 shim would be...

    Differential hanger bushes.....any ideas?.

    They still don’t make the 578080 1.70” bushes which are correct for the late 3500. Wadhams have reproduced the 553975 1.70” bushes with the lower centre height.

    dipping and stripping

    Here are some - I keep meaning to upload the base unit repair photos to the forum (months of work!), but never seem to get around to it. All the replacement panels were genuine Rover, or exact hand made copies. I found out very early on that the extra cost of genuine panels is rewarded in the...

    dipping and stripping

    I can be rather more positive about the SPL process than some of the posts above. I had my 3500S base unit and panels chemically stripped, cleaned and electrophoretically (E-coat) primed back in 2012. I found their service and process to be excellent, and would have no hesitation in recommending...

    Ouch !!

    I had no idea about the accident or the tragic consequences. Presumably the photo of the car with it's rear end up on stands and the complete De-Dion and elbows missing was taken during the investigation?. It must have been re-fitted as the photos of the car in the salvage yard now show all...

    Sad News - LDD fire

    Poor old LDD just sold for £1100 plus buyers fees and loading charge at Copart (Sandwich, Kent). Quite strong money given the severe damage, but here's hoping it will see the road again one day!.

    P6 prices: this in Practical Classics...

    Not this again!. I personally have been associated with the P6 for over 25 years as an enthusiast, and long before that as a passenger in my Fathers new P6's, and I have only ever heard the reference 'Solihull Citroen' peddled out by Practical Classics magazine. Now each to their own, but the...

    Hi guys, I am looking for either a NOS or really good used tunnel finisher for a manual P6. I am talking about the long black plastic piece that holds the gear / handbrake gaiters and the ashtrays. No chips, cracks etc. Thanks,

    Dealer window stickers...

    Interesting stuff indeed!. Who were the three Rover dealers listed in Peterborough? Murketts, Smiths and Marshalls? I would bet your 3500 would have been supplied by Smiths, my Fathers 1970 2000TC was supplied new by them. Incidentally, Precision Tools are still going at the same location. They...

    V8 front suspension bottom stabiliser arms

    I was thinking more about someone getting old units reconditioned, and then perhaps selling them on an exchange basis. It seems pointless to go to the expense of having the entire link re-made, when 90% of it does not wear and can be re-used. With a new Metalastik bush and a new ball joint, the...
