Roof Construction

dip galvanizing.

Rain Gutter. .
After the Roof and rain gutter was riveted
together , we used a sealant to prevent leakage.
The beginning of what makes the Carawagon so special . Virtually the
entire roof assembly is being reconstructed , as well as a few
improvements.
Externally
mounted Battery
box for 2nd battery.
Battery will be protected with this custom made
steel box .
The battery cables will not go thru the box , but
these nice Brass studs will be used as a junction for the cables to
contact on either side .
Here is a Trial fit of the battery box.
Transmission
is in
This Geniune Land-Rover Transmission
was a factory rebuild till we got ahold of it. We have installed a brand
new Santana overdrive and we had to go thru the main box because it
wasnt up to snuff . This unit straight from the factory had quite a few
finger loose bolts and nuts , and a very noisy reverse gear. we fixed
those problems and as you can see we have finally installed it.
We have assembled a set
of wheels for the restoration which will include 2 spare Wheels. Brand
new 16" rims painted original Limestone color fitted with brass
valve stems for durability , the tires are Michelin.
