Hi all

Turkey day here in the states so that means we get to go online and look at
Rovers while the Turkey cooks, Or until I am yelled at to come upstairs
which ever comes first.

Anyway I saw Alan's post regarding the rebuild of his car. It would great to
see pictures of this project and anyone else's Rover. It would also be cool
if we could find a way to have a place on the rovernet to share our car
pictures as well as better exchange ideas. Just a thought 

If you show me yours I will show you mine.

Happy Holidays
Dirk

I want a simple check to find out the diff ratio on my Rover 10.
Is it as easy as jacking up the rear end, turning the drive shaft and 
counting the revolutions needed to turn a wheel once?
This sounds **way** too straightforward.

Project update:
Engine finished and is a beautiful thing, (in the process discovered she 
had been bored out to Rover 10 specs) and now awaiting reunion with the 
gearbox and other relevant parts. 
Now where did I put that bottle of nuts?
All chromework and the parcel rack reassembled and fitted.
New windows and seals done, including windscreen (real bugger of a job); 
much bodywork rusting given the wirebrush, rustconverter, paint and 
fishoil treatment, new rear mudguard just about finished, rear badge 
re-enamelled (a wonderful sight).
With luck and time she should be ready by mid-January and hopefully have 
a run at the first RCCA event (assuming she passes roadworthy and is not 
faulted on a technicality).

If ratio is 4.0:1, then you would get 2 turns if only 1 rear wheel is jacked

up.
If both wheels are jacked, you would get 4.
