Not on these tyres - this is an example from one of them. I have been over every inch of them - these numbers are the only ones particular to individual tyres (as listed before) the remaining numbers are generic model numbers which are the same on all the tyres and also more than four numbers.

The 'DoT' code is an American requirement (Department of Transport)
Sometimes the Dot date code will be inside an 'oval' depression in the tyre wall.
The 4 digit code applies.

Hi,

I have had very ancient tyres, on an S1 109. explode while standing in the sun. Two of them!

Here's me dashing outside, to see who was playing "silly Bs" with a shotgun. Swansea Valley ... a couple of years later, some mother's son was shot dead.

Also ... My best mate took a shot gun blast through the head, point blank, while trying to wrestle the gun off his younger brother. This was in his back garden in Tooting Bec, in South London. I was in Arabia at the time, without giving my friends a forwarding address, so it was many months before I heard about it. Circa early 1960s.

Thanks for that - I'll have another look on YRM, I must have missed them the first time.

Regards

Euro sizes had the "narrow" radiator from introduction in 1967.

There should be a torx socket in the end of the ball joint thread so you can hold it in place while doing it up. I agree though - the nycloc is a total PITA as you can re-use a castle nut in service, so all you need to do is find a new split pin. If you have the nyloc, the threads are not always the same as the original part number. Means you quite often end up having to unncessarily replace the whole ball joint and then have to do the tracking or straighten the wheel.

Back to the OP. You say you've seen them on military land rovers, give us a clue then, which ones did you see them on?

There were some odd offerings around that era. My money is on a specific military contract, but don't really have a clue!

That's the track-rod Peter.
 


Avoid TRE's that are supplied with a large Nyloc nut.
Utterly stupid as the nut is so stiff it rotates the shaft, rather than screw down onto it - (ask me how I know. ). Should have castle-nut and split pin.

Quote from: diffwhine on Today at 12:51 PMIts got a PRC number for electrics which suggests a late Series 3 / early One Ten offering or possibly even Freight Rover?

It isn't an early One Ten or Ninety Part number. Not civilian, anyway.
