Does anyone know of a cross reference between Land Rover part numbers and
the actual size and types of nuts bolts and screws. There are occasional
references to size and type in the Illustrated Parts Catalogue, but I really
don't fancy going through the whole thing to try and find them all!

I was under the impression that Landrovers ( in particular mine) was bolted
together with the sweepings off the stock room floor!
4 ,Yes 4, different size nuts and bolts holding the exhaust downpipe onto
the manifold requiring 8 different spanners. and about 3 different sizes
holding the wings on!

And that's what it was like when it come out of the factory. Landys being
landys, probably have 8 different sized bolts by now. a couple of imperial,
couple of metric, and a couple of those wonderfully useless whitworth bolts.
i have not known any other brand of car, that more consistently has non
standard fittings replacing the original ones, be it bolts, battery holders,
seat-belts. i can't decide wether it is because
A) landrover bits break quicker than most car bits
B) landrover owners are very reluctant to spend the extra money on original
parts
C) landrover owners typically have sheds full of junk, much of which can
serve any number of uses in a landrover.

can't help feeling that you've got a nonstandard one or two on the manifold
joint.
as to front wings... the ones on the 110 proved to be a mixture of 1/4"UNF,
5/16"UNF, and some odd ones that go into the funny captive nuts on the door
pillar.
In general, I found that 110 body parts were often UNF, the axles and
suspension bits tended to be metric, propshaft bolts were UNF. V8s are
(with maybe the exception of the "thor" ones, not seen one) UNF and UNC.
I don't think there are any whitworth/BSF left on the 110s, or indeed
probably the later series.

Happily for us, Land Rover owners are famous for spending a tenner
to save a pound. My favourite is people who replace the screws holding
the lights on with a small nut & bolt and then have to try and get
the unit off 3 years later.........

D) Probably the real reason - being originally designed as a stop gap with
minimum tooling, the design can use a lot of off the shelf parts, including
bolts and nuts. If you compare where these are used with the same place on
the "ordinary" car mostly the equivalent is a special part that you can't
replace with just any bolt, or it is welded up anyway so the equivalent
bolt does not exist.

Even the last series had at least some BSF - one that comes to mind is the
bolts through the drive flanges into the hub, but there are probably
others. I haven't found any on my 110, but I wouldn't bet there aren't any!

Not now I havn't, well ,standard or no they are now all the same!

ah yes, some battery clamp bolts are indeed whitworth. Although I've seen
metric ones in more recent examples.
I'm fairly sure there aren't any whit/BSF on the 90/110 and discos.

Have they changed the two under the axle pinion housing - used for the
steering damper bracket?
