We can only afford colour issues due to the extra income from the sponsors of the Land Rover Show. So show your gratitude next time you need something that our sponsors provide and favour them with your patronage. Jordan Leverington has continued documenting his Series 2A rebuild in this issue. Re-building a Land Rover from the ground up is a time-consuming process and I admire his persistence. The results from the Gawler Sand-Pit Trial have been calculated, so if you were there, turn to page 11. You may be surprised at the outcome. The third and final chapter in the Central Australia Adventure (reprinted with the permission of LROI) can be found in this issue. There’s another similar adventure departing in July if you feel like escaping the southern winter. If you are on Historic Registration, don’t miss Ian Turner’s message on page 31 after the minutes. But wait– there’s more! Too much to mention it all here, in fact. I hope you enjoy the read.

Cover Your President Hans Wiemers concentrating hard at the club trial, with the barbecue area in the background. Picture: Thomas Price. Page 3 Vice-President’s Review Hi All, Over the last month the Melrose subcommittee has had a meeting regarding the wash up from the Melrose event. Although as yet it has not been fully reconciled we are pleased to report that we will have a modest overall profit. This will improve the starting balance for the next event and gives us more scope to look for improvements and or additions to the event. Over the last 3 committee meetings the committee has been busy in reviewing and updating the clubs constitution and club rules in order to bring them up to date with what is actually happening within the club environment and to make sure it complies with the State Governments Incorporations Act. The next step in this process is that all the changes will be publicised in the magazine for the memberships’ benefit. Following that there will then be a special General Meeting called to vote on this package. Over the next couple of months the committee meetings will be of a more general art as a fair number of committee members will be on the road and/or abroad. Hans Hans Wiemers Secretary’s Review Hi all, I hope that this edition of the magazine finds everybody fit and healthy now that the weather has turned and the cold and wet seems to have set in and the season where people are starting to think about travelling north to find a warmer climate. We again have a presentation from Andrew Chan from Electric Bug preceding this meeting and for those of you who attended his last presentation you will know how entertaining Anthony was, so it would be great to see as many members as possible at this meeting to support the people who support the Club. If any members are still interested in coming along on the Dolphin Explorer Cruise there is still time to register, it would be great to see as many members come along on this day as there is a great deal of effort put in with the organisation of these trips and your support is appreciated. Speaking of trips, if any members have an idea for a trip please put any suggestions down on the suggestion sheet that is available with the trip sheets at every meeting. See you all at the May meeting.

You can register on-line . . . just go to the website and follow the prompts . . www.lrregsa.org.au Check out the third and final instalment of the LRO story in this issue! It is being reprinted with the kind permission of the Land Rover Owner International Magazine and our good friends Pat and John who accompanied us along with several other Club members. Sunday October 18 We will be organising a Sunday Drive from Port Adelaide to the Birdwood Museum to celebrate the Museum’s 50th birthday year. There will be a charge per vehicle to participate which will include entry to the grounds at Birdwood plus a barbeque lunch. This will be a chance to celebrate the 50th birthday of this great collection. With the approval of Club Members, we would like to designate this trip as an open event which means that anyone who owns a Land Rover can take part, provided they pay the appropriate fee. This will be a chance for our Club to promote itself with other Land Rover Owners and hopefully persuade them to join. Over the coming months I will provide more information to you as we continue to negotiate with the Museum. If you have any questions please ask either myself or Dave Price. Trip leaders are needed to run Sunday drives or long weekend trips. If you have a passion to get out and about in your Land Rover, come and talk to the Committee! Trip sheets will be available at every Club meeting, but for those of you who cannot attend, you can register for all trips on the Club website lrregsa.org.au Alternatively you can ring Dave Price direct. His mobile number is in the “Obsession”.

It has been some time since my last progress report and to be honest the momentum of the restoration did falter for a while due to more pressing concerns. However, I have had some significant wins over the last couple of months and my enthusiasm has been reinvigorated by the recent Melrose Easter show. I must thank Coop and Ian for generously allowing me to drive their beautiful vehicles which demonstrated exactly what I'm missing out on! I recently acquired a tub, which has been missing piece of my restoration thus far. My vehicle was originally a completely knocked down (CKD) import from the UK in the form of a "basic" model. This model only had the truck cab and left it open to the purchaser to how they wanted to treat the rear section. The original owner, like most farmers, bought this model and put a steel tray on the back. This tray was much more agricultural and suited their needs far better than the tub ever could. As I am not a farmer nor have any intention of being one, I wanted something a bit better looking whilst maintaining the overall originality of the vehicle. I have been on the hunt for a tub for the past 3 years and was lucky enough to find a gentleman in Sedan (in the Riverland) that was willing to sell me one. The donor vehicle was a series 3 diesel which he purchased purely for the motor and gearbox. We spent the better part of 5 hours in 43° persuading the wagon top and tub and then tub and chassis to part ways. I also managed to pick up an auxiliary fuel tank, fuel filler, badge and two way fuel tap for a very reasonable price. If anyone is interested in any panels or wagon roofs let me know and I can pass on his details. Just like my original fuel tank, my new tank had seen better days and was considerably gunked up with mud and rust. As with my other tank I decided to use a KBS fuel tanks restoration kit to sort it out prior to installation. The kit comes with a heavy duty degreaser, rust blaster and sealant and all for just over $100. I found that putting a length of chain in the tank really helps break up the crud and scrape extra corrosion off the inside of the tank. The whole process could be done in a day, however it is recommended to do it over a weekend to ensure the best results. With this extra fuel load I should be able to make it from Adelaide to Holden Hill without filling up once! Now that I had installed the motor and gearbox back into the chassis, I had plenty of room to bring the truck cab undercover to be dismantled. I removed all the ancillary components such as the pedal boxes and ignition coils and windscreen wiper assembly and was happy to see that the bulkhead only suffered from a bit of surface rust which appear to be caused by the overzealous filling of the brake master cylinder which removed the paint. I took this opportunity to strip, grind, sandblast and paint each part before storing away for the eventual rebuild of the firewall. As I had never driven the vehicle, the steering box was a Land Rover Register of SA Inc Page 9 complete unknown as to its condition. Like everything else I decided that it was a better option to sort it out now whilst it was all apart rather than wait and see until it was all back together. I had already bought a steering box rebuild kit (mistakenly thought it was for the steering relay) that came with everything needed for the overhaul. As soon as I drained the oil I knew I had done the right thing because of the dark green sludge that came out. Dismantling and reassembly is a very simple process which is explained clearly in the manual, my only advice is to have someone with good eyes and patience on standby for when you drop the 15 million ball bearings all over the floor. If you are anything like me, then the assistant also needs to be immune to bad language and not be willing to impart helpful advice in hindsight like "Why didn't you do that over the bench?". Grrrr, I know that now, moving on. The window wiper assembly was not in good shape and when I hooked it up to a battery the motor strained and struggled to just move the worm drive. Upon closer inspection it was clear that the old grease had mixed well with 30 years of red dust to create what can only be described as a putty. This was an easy fix and just really required a clean and re-grease in order for it to work like a charm (although I am not looking forward to actually having to use these during anything more than a light sprinkle). LUNCH AT THE SANDPIT: LRRSA members gather around the marquee and newly-restored club BBQ trailer for a sausage sizzle lunch before attempting the second half of the Club Trial. Page 10 Land Rover Register of SA Inc Club Trial at Reeves Plains Our first Club Trial for some years was held at the C&M Sandpit at Reeves Plains on Sunday 3rd May. Eighteen Club vehicles arrived at the site by 10.00am. The weather turned on its very best behaviour with a nice breeze and warm sunshine. A marquee was erected at the highest point of the site to allow the spectators a grandstand view over the course set out the previous day by a group of willing volunteers. Two separate courses, one of 10 gates and the second of 7 gates, had been laid out, both courses having to be completed in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. Action began at 10.30am with Ian Turner in his Series 1 showing how capable the early vehicles were. He was followed by more Series vehicles before the newer vehicles took their turn. A stop for lunch at 12 noon and a chance for everyone to enjoy the superb sunshine whilst enjoying a sausage sizzle. Competition recommenced at 1.00 with repositioned gates and a chance to cover the course in an anticlockwise direction– the repositioned gates having made the challenge course much more difficult to attain a clear round. Everyone enjoyed the day’s action- see the results of our fun day below. A suggestion has been put forward that the Club could reintroduce Trials on a 3 monthly basis. If you are interested in attending an event in September please add your name to the trip sheet. It’s a chance to attend and find out what your Land Rover is capable of.

Many were spotted entering the large pavilion marquee and later emerging with smiles on their faces, a gleam in their eyes, and various accoutrements which they had not been carrying on entry. One of your editor's assistants, intrigued by this apparent transformation, took a peek through the door to see just what was going on. She was amazed to discover a hive of industry with various projects being pursued with great enthusiasm. Some of the participants wished to remain anonymous, as can be seen by their identity-concealing eyewear. The intense concentration required meant that some barely noticed the presence of our reporter, while others were happy to display their handiwork. Land Rover Register of SA Inc Page 23 Page 24 Land Rover Register of SA Inc Land Rover Register of SA Inc Page 25 THE POWER OF REDARC On April 24th, 46 members motored down the southern expressway (now with improved two-way flow) to the premises of Redarc Australia, to hear about the latest developments in automotive electronic accessories, especially those related to camping and 4 wheel driving. Our hosts, Matthew Wright and Craig Herriot plied us with food and drinks before breaking us into smaller groups for a tour of the factory. It was a fascinating experience to see just how these complex and capable electronic devices are manufactured. Of particular note was the constant attention to detail and the frequent testing that occurs at all stages of the process. Staff are not permitted to smoke on the factory floor, must adhere to regulations regarding cleanliness, and most important of all, have to maintain a “grounded” electrical state at all times to avoid damage to sensitive computer components while they are in the process of being assembled. Matt even commented that their first issue of company T-shirts had to be discarded because they were made of the wrong type of material which tended to generate an electrostatic charge! All of our questions were answered in detail, and the materials on display illustrated the construction methods that make these devices extremely reliable. The tour was followed by interesting and informative talks on the various devices that were displayed around the room. During the break, we had time to explore the displays and talk to some of the engineers responsible for the development of the equipment. We really are in a privileged position in SA– not only does a local company manufacture some of the best electrical and electronic equipment available, but they are always there to back up their products and provide expert technical advice. THE REDARC FACTORY FLOOR: Matthew Wright holds one of Redarc’s products illustrating the rubbery “potting” material which dampens vibration and excludes moisture– just two of the reasons why these devices keep operating in the harsh environments encountered in off-road travelling. Matt said putting this stuff into your mate’s coffee mug is not recommended! RAFFLE RESULTS At last month’s meeting, Geoff Saxby won 2nd prize in the club’s social raffle. We didn’t bother taking a photo of the first prize winner as we all know who she is from her frequent appearances in this space. Suffice to say, the investigation into the rorting of the club’s raffling system is ongoing.... Page 26 Land Rover Register of SA Inc Land Rover Register of SA Inc Page 27 THE STRESS OF COMPETITION “Which sheep station is riding on the outcome of this competition?” When the going gets tough, the tough...er.. start concentrating. These competitors in the recent Melrose trials certainly showed the depth of their concentration in their faces as they struggled to avoid the traps set for them by the course designers. Was it stressful? Well you only have to look at the white knuckles visible in some of these shots to know the answer to that question. And of course, it wasn’t just the drivers....
