Insert for rubber moulding

Where are ppl getting the mettle inserts from? I ordered the rubber from Baines, been looking at banding, but It's way too expensive, and its hard to cut and drill

I saw this was used in one of the videos. Seems the thing to have.

Hi, James. Thank you for making this offer, most grateful.

My vehicle is a series 2 chassis number 146100523. It is a SWB hard top.

Thanks Arthur Beeston mem No. 4558. E-mail is [email protected]

The reason I know Is all the trucks at work had to have the tax and other disks removed and put on the dash of about 100 HGVs

Had a busy Land Rover week, lots of research and stripping the bonnet back to DBG, it's gone well but there isn't as much as I'd hoped.
Was a bit ago now but I've also printed a replica of the terminal strip to keep as a handy spare.

There's also "driver's" windscreen in some of the text. Having a split screen makes things a little more/less complicated.

I haven't but others have as the 2.5 is very quiet too.

That's it right there, and the point I was making. I belong to a local classic-car club, and there's always an MG owner with driving-gloves and leather elbow patches. If you spend any time on other forums and car-clubs you're soon aware how Mini, Beetle and LR owners are mocked. We get roasted something rotten. I have to smile, I'm left to wonder if I've become my own stereotype. Seems LR owners with umpteen jerry-cans, are all called Nigel, have facial-hair, and can recite the advantages of four different routes to Cleethorpes.

If you can't beat 'em... I think the stereotype is me.


 

do eyebrows count as facial hair?

I've been caught out, convinced the engine has stopped, but it's so quiet I can't hear it ticking over.

Never heard of that - having just googled it:-


https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/stickers-or-other-items-in-front-and-rear-windscreens/view-to-the-front-and-windscreen-obscuration



"In practice, the annual test will check that items placed in or stuck to the windscreen or surface damage, cracks or discolouration in the windscreen do not seriously obscure the vision of the driver. In order to better define what maybe permissible the windscreen is divided into zones:

Zone A is a vertical area 290mm wide, centred on the steering wheel and contained within the swept area of the windscreen (this area is 350mm wide on vehicles over 3.5 tonnes);
Zone B is the remainder of the swept area of the windscreen
For simplicity, surface damage, cracks or discolouration, are simply referred to as damage.

In Zone A, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 10mm diameter circle. A combination of minor damage areas shall not seriously restrict the drivers view. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 10mm.

In Zone B, a single damaged area shall be contained within a 40mm diameter circle. Windscreen stickers, or other obstructions, shall not encroach more than 40mm.

Windscreen repairs shall be assessed the same as unrepaired damage and shall not restrict the driver's vision.

Cracks passing through the swept area of the windscreen and reaching two points at the edge shall be deemed to render the windscreen insecure.

Items placed in, or stuck to, the windscreen could be stickers, pennants, satellite navigation monitors or decorations.

Original vehicle design features and drivers aids, such as sun visors, are allowed.

Vehicles that do not comply with the above could be construed to be in contravention of the legislation."



Will check the placement of mine to see if it's legal
