Afternoon, the centre part of my 1935 14 steering wheel ( with horn button and advance/retard) is loose and rattles about when driving. Is there a bush for it as it’s driving me nuts and holding it still is spoiling the drive. Any suggestions?

Many thanks. They're currently maroon, but not the same shade as the body, more likely from a previous incarnation. Black would seem to be the factory version then.

Maroon over black. Oh and not a P2.

Should my 1935 Rover P1 have black or body coloured wheels?

Does anybody know of a suitable period Rev counter for a 1935 14?

Many thanks Mike, mines definitely a 6 spline axle. There was an audible "hiss" when I removed the top filler plug, so it's pressurising.
I'll try the drilled/ tapped / series breather option I think, seems a neat solution.

Well, removed rear seat, no breather apparent, just small square headed plug on top of diff. Would Land Rover one fit?

My offside rear hub appears to have a leaking oil seal, any ideas of price/ availability/ options of alternative model fit items? Cheers, Mark

I recently converted a Land Rover Lightweight to 4.2 v8 and 5 speed LT77. It wasn't that difficult technically but a lot of little snags that took longer to resolve than anticipated. Please don't think I'm dismissing your ideas, far from it, I would like to keep the straight six, maybe an alternativ...

Except clutch won't work, propshaft wrong length, custom exhaust required, throttle linkage, fuel pump, hoses, speedo cable drive, axle ratio too low, engine mounts, gearbox mounts.
