[Rovernet] Rovernet Digest, Vol 81, Issue 3

Tue Mar 10 16:20:13 EDT 2020

Hello all,

I always thought the Borg 35 was a pretty good box. I'd suspect the "tech"
who last  rebuilt it. A lot of men hang out their shingle; very few really
know what they're doing. If he actually screwed up backtracking may be a
slippery slope.

For what it may be worth in a few weeks I'll have quite a nice 3.5 Rover
engine available that has a 5-speed manual box bolted to the back of it. It
makes a sweet switch from a 4-speed or an autobox to a Rover 2000, TR8,
Morgan, TR6, MGB, MGC, etc. etc.

*Thank you for your enquiry for our parts and services. We offer the
highest-quality spare parts for the vintage Land -Rover. Our staff is
minuscule while the demand for rare and “unobtainable” parts for early
Land-Rovers is relentless. While your concern is important to us, our
ability to respond to each and every enquiry may be limited and stocks of
many items are critically low.. We are primarily a restoration-based
enterprise but when we have a surplus of a given  item, we are able to
offer excess stocks to our dedicated clients. If your need is urgent, we
encourage you to contact us by phone, in person. Leaving a message is
rarely effective, so we recommend direct contact. With many buildings full
of parts, it is not always easy to locate obscure items, and the process is
often time consuming. We hope you understand. Please
provide complete details of your exact model including year, wheelbase,
which side drive, engine, Country of origin, etc. When giving part numbers,
please also state the catalogue number (typically found on the front
cover).  We appreciate your understanding and will do all we can to help.*
