Ya know, I was pretty sure that '79 models had the oval holes in the doors and body pillars, plugged by blanking grommets on lower trim levels, but obviously not, or at least not all of them.
1980 models definitely had them, as that was the first year where 260 GLE models had power windows, central locking, and power mirrors, as well as the door speakers, and that amount of wiring into the doors required the rubber boots.
Yeah, re: the master cylinder, it is the one Classic Swede is selling to suit 240, but obviously it’s not correct for the job. I guess it might be more readily available if the Land Rover was sol in larger numbers?
I wish it did have the oval holes for the wiring, but no such luck...will have to get the correct size hole saw(s) and hack away at it! ;) I forgot power mirrors - I have a set of those somewhere too. I’m thinking I might just put a single power window switch on the driver’s door (i.e. same as passenger side front door switch) as it saves a lot of wiring mucking around and not REALLY necessary to be able to control all the power windows from the driver’s door. The car is small enough you can reach 3/4 of the switches from the driver’s seat anyway if need be. I’ll see what I have in the way of window harnesses...guess if I have the correct harness I’ll do a proper job! :)
