70s Rovers

Hi guys,
I'm new to the BCF. I "cut my teeth" as a professional mechanic on Rovers and Land Rovers at a dealership in the late sixties and have rarely been without one since. I have a mountain of used spares and 3 3500s restoreable cars plus 3 2000TCs,one of which is a fine driver. Also, I have 2 SD1s, one of which I bought new in 1980. I also have absorbed a lot of the historical and technical knowledge needed to understand these special cars. Oh yeah, I have the tool board and all the special tools sold to dealers to service the P-6 cars. Perhaps I can help with your needs. I am in the Britcar business in Fort Collins, Colorado.

3500Ss converted to manual transmission in this country generally use the five speed common to the TR-8,7 (seven uses a different bellhousing), or one from an SD-1. This makes a very nice machine.

I have WAY too many projects and am considering disposing of some of this stuff. Cheers

Do you need a special tool to remove the inboard rear brakes ?
 
Hi .....USE CAUTION >>>MAKE SURE THE CAR IS WELL SUPPORTED AND STABLE BECAUSE THE REAR MUST SPREAD APART SLIGHTLY....No you don't need any special tools to remove or work on your brakes...........you can get the special brake ratchet to adjust them but you don't really need it either
Good luck...its fairly easy.......just the spreading the rear requires a little finesse......

Any questions or problems email me off forum
