Afternoon, In this thread from 2018 there's a link to a body assembly drawing showing the P6 sill cross section. The link no longer works, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction for the source? I downloaded a PDF from the Australian Rover Club site which is a reprint of the...

Thanks, that looks like a good option.

My car was parked in the rain with a window open at some point in its first ownership, so the whole interior got damp. It smells very distinctive!

When removing my driver's side glovebox to replace some broken rivets on the hinge bar, I was reminded of the poor state of my bulkhead insulation/trim panels. Driver's side is tatty with the black card/plastic cracked in several places. Passenger side is mostly absent, leaving visible bare...

Just came across this thread - that looks like a fantastic job! Looked at the website, £600 stg for a full set of nearly Buckskin covers in a slightly too coarse grained leather, delivered to the UK. Very very attractive compared to the cost of a bespoke retrim.

https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2024-02-03/cars/ref-104-1977-rover-3500-dl/ This tidy P6 with a lot of police provenance sold for £17,070 at the weekend. What do people think of that price? It seemed to me that a lot of high-end stuff wasn't meeting reserve but under-£20k cars did...

I picked up these cufflinks on eBay. Can't find any information online about where they might have come from, other than a reference in James Taylor's book "Rover P6 The Complete Story" that a set of branded cufflinks may have been among the gifts given out at the Press Launch in October 1963...

Have seen some of them, looks a great series. He's got a really solid example there.

Just to close this out for anyone else who finds this thread in future... I ordered a replacement from Rimmer Bros after confirming the dimensions with their customer service people. Happy to report that it's identical to the original and a perfect fit.

Indeed, it's famous Enjoyed reading your articles with it @johnsimister

Welcome aboard, I've an identical 1968 2000 SC. They're great cars. My gear change is pretty good, so hopefully you'll get yours sorted. I'm sure it's a very different driving experience to the Imp!

Lovely project car there, great potential. Sensibly priced too. Best wishes for the sale, I hope you find a good home for it.

I think it's supposed to be the same as the carb one, seems to be the same part number. Just measured this evening with a micrometer, the original one is 5mm diameter, the modern replacement is 6mm. I could drill a bigger hole in the fuel tap arm but would prefer to get the right pin if possible.

I've broken the "trunnion" that holds the fuel reserve cable to the lever on the tap. I ordered a replacement part no. 566902 from a Land Rover parts supplier, listed as a heater cable trunnion, but its diameter is too big to fit through the hole on my fuel tap. Does anyone know where I...

It will probably physically fit, but you might not be able to push the front seats all the way back. My series 1 has inertia belts from a previous owner but they rub on the seats.
