Parts Catalogues
These catalogues and diagrams proved priceless in rebuilding our Land Rover Series 2 (ARN 111-387). The numbered diagrams and original Part Numbers are still relevant today, allowing you to search global suppliers like Paddock Spares with pinpoint accuracy.
Even though I am based in Brisbane, the vast majority of our spares-including chassis panels and drive shafts-came from the UK. Shipping via DHL often took only 5 days, which was actually faster (and often 50% cheaper) than buying locally. It's a crazy reality of the restoration world!

The craziest priced part was a 3/8in UNF left-hand threaded bolt for the new camshaft. After scouring the world from Dubai to Cyprus and Canada to New Zealand, I found nothing that would ship here. In the end a local machine shop made one up. Total cost: $96 for a single bolt. Sometimes restoration demands a heavy "patience tax!"
From finding a camshaft in Dubai to air filter canisters in Yorkshire, eBay and the 'Land Rover Treasure Shop' in Cyprus became our best friends during this 3-year project.

Installing aftermarket parts that fail in 500km is a hard lesson. Always aim for original New Old Stock (NOS).
