very interesting weapon*

Wayne,

Great pictures very original Rover 8FFR.

Interesting, I've never seen a Rover 8FFR 40amp with heating.

Jarda

Thank,

He had a feeling here that some photographs DBG looks much darker than Bronze Green,

but I guess a lot depends on the light and etc.

Jarda

I apologize for my stupid questions, I know that this has been written here many, but I have all of the information chaos.:nut:

First question:

colours Bronze* Green( Land Rover RTC4042A) and Deep Bronze Green BS 224 / used by the military / are different or the same?

- I think BG is the Land Rover factory mixed color and DBG is based on British standard and has darker

Second question: what color should a military Land Rover leaving the factory?

- I think BG and overcoating time are to DBG.

Thank you all for your answers

Jarda

Another paint for Toastie is White (RAF DESERT RESCUE):cool2:

Wayne,

I think that the stone (sand) is a good choice if you like and do not know the exact history of your Rover8*FFR . I saw some pictures.

I thought that the basic color for the Rover 8 and 9 of the factory was DBG with galvaniset bumper and etc. on her spotted camouflage (DBG, stone or stone/ ....)? Or am I wrong?

Jarda

I remember you only (except for standard FFR Rover 8 and 9) that APGP with "Toast Rack".

Very interesting topic. I found a photo of the training Toastie

in Norway. Maybe "winterized"?

Maybe it's a stupid idea, but I could not be separated intake manifold from exhaust manifold on my Toastie engine. They helped me wedges of hard wood into which I was beating a big hammer.

I know this is a different case and the risk damage of a bell-housing, but ...

Jarda

Wayne,

I just wanted to lighten the topic.

On my Toustie I had no problems spliting engine and gearbox, it has been restored, but a lot of parts 24v specifications is missing :-( unlike your original state.

My toustie holidays are shortened to one day> (busy at work)

I only complete seperating the rear axle and brakes.

photo of wings thanks Wayne

Jarda

Clive,

Unfortunately, I don't know the year of the vehicle.

I bought the filter on ebay, just know that it was used from series 3 FFR.

Jarda

Wayne,

You did a great job.:cool2:

I had a no problem with seperating the engine and bellhousing. Everything was from oil and splitting went smoothly. Good luck.

Jarda

Hi Clive, I have from Series 3 FFR

CH26 47206D
