Rover tändstift
P3
Rätt stift är Champion N8 men de börjar bli svåra att få tag i.
Bra ersättare är Champion N5 - använd inte N9Y med förlängd gänga!
Problemet är att Champion har listat N9Y som ersättare för N8, så det är vad du får om du frågar försäljarna.

Rover paint and interior colours
Original colours for your Rover can be obtained from Glasurit, Rover's original factory supplier.
You can find out at their web-site and this is the way to do it:
- Click on the link Glasurit
- Select manufacturer: Rover
- Select the color name
- Click on Start Search
- Now you see the hit right in the middle of the page. Click on the color name there
- It probably gives one paint line only: Glasurit 22. Click on the paint line name
- It probably gives one option only: Standard. Click on that text
Now you get a new page with the formula and a number of options to calculate formula amounts for car part and size.
Now, whether DuPont or others can translate/cross-reference from a competitor - Glasurit formula - I do not know. I was completely satisfied with being able to get the original color from the original supplier. They even sent it so I had it the day after calling them.

You can also get the paint from Mike or Jim

Most P6 and P6B rubber parts is remanufactured
Stephen Walker of S & G Walker (in the UK), has remanufactured the OEM type door rubber where steel is cast into the cast rubber door waist rubber. In his 1996 catalogue he had them priced at 72 pounds for a set of four. Currently, that would be CDN$172.80 without shipping and GST. Jonathan Wadhams (also in the UK) offers a set of rubber-strip silicon rubber without the metal strip for 4.50 pounds each or CDN43.20 without shipping and GST.
Personally, I don't fool around. I order mine from Roverco (whoops, sorry, Scott's Old Auto Rubber) in Melbourne, Australia for AUS$79.00 for a set of 4 precut. The latest batch have the required holes punched out just like the original. I like the thickness so I don't need a metal strip to add another rust problem. I also like to be able to radius the strip to exactly match the window fram after it's installed. That works out to about CDN$79.00 for the set as the dollar is about par.

I used Scott's to replace all the rubber on the current 1970 2000 TC. The front windscreen rubber used to be preformed for the OEM production models. The difference with the extrusion is the outside bends at the top of the glass. In the OEM or molded rubber, the bends lay down on the roof without trouble. The extruded bends want to lift at that point. I solved the problem for ME, by using black silcone rubber sealant, two C-Clamps and bits of wood. I sealed and left the clamped wood for a week. I have had no problem since --- touch that wood! Eric Russell

P76 ignition
The ignition switch located on the rear of the key lock (the electrical part of the unit) is now very old and starting to fail. I have gone through 3 in 4 weeks.
Research has tracked down the original which came from a CH Chrysler/Valiant and Ranger Station Wagon (1970 - 72).
Small supplies of this rare item are still available from Mitsubishi Dealers but when existing stocks are used up, that's that.
The part number is MI-3711445. at a list price of $131:76 (no, the cents figure is not a joke). Modification is required but it is small and simple.
There are two differences between the Leyland part and the Chrysler part.
1. Large blue wire on Leyland part is light blue - Chrysler is Dark blue.
2. Leyland plug is round terminals in moulded rubber plug - Chrysler part uses spade terminals in square plastic plug. Cut off old plug and re solder to new wires. Easy!!
It is advisable to also roll the metal edges of the switch case over the plastic end and coat edges with Araldite to prevent the plug coming apart. They have a bad habit of doing this.

Rover vattenpumpar
Dessa uppgifter har vi fått tack vare Duane Kennard, som har epost-adressen: RoverP6B@pacbell.net
TRW nummer för pumpar som passar Rover P6B och SD1 V8:
Till P6B:
TRW # FP 1318 - Kort hals, passar Buick 300; 340. Cirka US$50 nya
GMB # 130-1420
GMB är av japansk tillverkning och de är "snyggare" än TRW:s pumparoch kostar runt US$40.
Till SD1:
TRW # FP 1448 - långhalsad till '70s Buick V6 & V8. US$30 nya
Renoverade enheter är ännu billigare. De korthalsade kan man få för runt US$16 hos lokala handlare i USA.
Alla dessa pumpar har alla vattenanslutningar på de rätta ställena för Rovermoterna. De är också lätta att få tag i hos alla reservdelsleverantörer i USA.

Hjul till SD1 och P6
Det kan vara svårt att hitta hjul och fälgar till P6:an och SD1:an som har samma fälgar. Håldiametern är bland de största i branschen.
Det är endast få tillverkare som gör passande fälgar, men den lokale däckhandlaren borde kunna hitta lämpliga.
På de SD1 VandenPlas och Vitesse som såldes i England 1985 satt speciellt snygga fälgar
Hjul som passar:
Austin 1800
Austin-Healy 3000

Magstars
Det finns ett problem med att sätta Magstar-fälgar från SD1 på en P6B; Höljet över smörjhålet på framhjulen är för stort.
Men det finns två olika lösningar:
1. Slipa upp centrumhålet i fälgarna så att de passar.
2. Ta bort P6-ans originalhölje och sätt dit höljet från SD1-an i stället. Man får töja ut detta hölje lite för att det skall sitta ordentligt, men det fungerar bra!

För ett tag sedan skrev en kille som kör Rover P6 i internationella rallyn en artikel i tidningen P6 News, att han använder motorfästen från Ford på sin rallybil och att dessa är starkare än originalen. Noel Howard, teknisk rådgivare i den amerikanska P6 Owners' Club, lyckades köpa Ford-fästen direkt från England åt en klubbmedlem som behövde nya och de var förhållandevis billiga.
Motorfästena har Fords reservdelsnummer FMU6140218 och kostade sommaren 1995 7,49 GBP + 17,5% skatt per styck.
Fredie Preston heter föraren som kört Rover P6 i tävlingar de senaste åren med dessa motorfästen. Han berättar att monteringshålen måste filas upp lite grand för att fästena skall passa.
