Finally great weekend away got around every where, Landy went well didn't miss a beat after rewiring ignition system and replacing points, condenser, HT leads, Spark plugs, coil etc Thanks to Rex at Land rover spares for having everything for our disposal. Photos to follow when I figure out how to load them.

check out the old commadore starters. I took mine to the wreckers looking for a solenoid for it, and the guy went and got a commadore one that was nearly identical. $20 for the whole thing!
