Ian Driver Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have a 1983 Land Rover 3/4 Ton Series 3 FFR 109 LWB Soft Top [82 KB 67] which is MOT'd and drive-able... Picture is from earlier today and is under pre MOT maintenance with headlamps/ indicators rebuild as the Easter weekend task. Live Carmarthenshire and bought the FFR off a local mate as a 'barn find' and hope to drive it around a bit more often in the summer. It has an ABRO 3 bearing 2.25 Ex lightweight Petrol recon fitted with the Transistorized 24 Volt electrics fitted. I am slowly de-civilianising it back to what I first learn't to drive when I signed up in 1985.... I am also very fortunate to have a 1969 Sankey Narrow Track 3/4 Ton Trailer in Class 1 Condition as repaired by my brother who is an Ex REME VM-B Class 1 Fitter. I have very recently obtained a spare 24 Volt Generator, Generator panel No 9 Mk 4 and period AVO 12 meter to give Clive Elliotts excellent 'All Charged Up' a go for checking the spares... I guess the first step is to test the AVO meter!!! I am currently seeking a period FFR Radio table, side strengtheners and supports If any one knows where the bits might be lurking! :red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Driver Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 The AVO 12, complete I think... Measures a 1.5v from a 'AAA' with some defection and a D Cell fitted/installed inside..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm even more impressed you have the 360A shunt, one of mine has it, the other one doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
