Interesting, 67 seems to have been a crossover year . I will see if I can find part numbers.
Thanks
Does dare deal with rover sedan stuff? I remember seeing that union jack over the freeway while I was at Evergreen in the 80s.

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.

Hello Rover fans,
This nice 58 105S came up for auction yesterday, located in California:
https://carsandbids.com/auctions/35dERzlj/1958-rover-p4-105s
It is serial 005 of only 148 LHD exports made of this year/model.
Tempting because I have the same 58 105S, serial 007 that I rescued out
of rural central Texas that needs a ton of work to get operational and
look as good.
Jon

Hi there, I am in the process of doing the rear brakes on my 67 2000TC. While putting things back together, I replaced the o-ring on the retainer on the passenger side. When I went to do it on the driver side, no retainer or o-ring. Either I set it somewhere and immediately forgot, it dropped off and rolled away, or it was never there.
Has anyone experienced this before? The manual says to replace the o-ring when equipped but is having an o-ring on one side and not the other a thing? Can I put it back together without it?
Thanks for any help
