I have a '64 series IIa with a series III gearbox. i recently fitted a rocky mountain roverdrive. with the roverdrive now in place, the linkage will not clear the top of it by about half an inch. anybody have any ideas why this could happen? could this be due to a S3 'box in a S2a chassis? i think my eventual solution will be to make some extensions and raise the linkage over the mounts. i want to make sure that its not some excuse that i have made. thanks | ||

No personal experience with a Roverdrive at all, but I seem to recall having heard of that very solution to that same problem, that the parking-brake linkage had to be modified to go around.... Check back through this board, or over on Art's Guns-n-Rovers board..... Good luck! -L | ||

I called up Rocky Mountain today and found out that about half of the imported Series have this problem. It is something to do with when they started making the trucks left hand drive, they had to move the handbrake to the other side by extending the linkage. Unfortunately it seems that the actual position of the mounts for the new linkage are dependent on how they were feeling that day and often differ by a few inches. | ||

Noted. My LHD SIII is currently overdriveless, but eventually it will probably "grow" one.... always good to know things like this ahead of time..... -L |
