I purchased an overdrive unit for my series III. I will need the special socket 600300 to install

Wondering if anyone has one that I could borrow, sad part is I am in Lethbridge. We make trips to Calgary often though. If not, where can this be purchased "locally", or is on-line the best option?

Thanks

I have one here in Regina, if you are anywhere out this way, you are welcome to borrow.  I got mine from Roversnorth when the dollar exchange was better.  There is a place in the UK selling these which might be cheaper
1957 Series One 88", petrol

SOLD:
'Luna' - Series 2 88", petrol with full tilt, ('61) [Restoration complete in 2020]
'Tardis' - Series 3 88", petrol hard top ('74) .. last seen sunning itself in the Carolinas

I came across this article.  Depends if you have the expertise to do the work your self.

Some guys just use a hammer and drift but then there is no way of knowing how much torque you are applying.
There are some on eBay but very expensive for a socket not used more than once or twice.

No guarantees, but you can use mine.


Already a Rover

I`d reckon you can put a few pounds of torque on that.
