Bill-

Sounds like you are so close.  I was able to get most of my parts that you
are looking for through Dunsfold.  Most the items you need will probably be
there.  I know there are other options in the UK as well.

For the exhaust on my 107SW, I was able to salvage the old exhaust manifold.
I used the original exhaust flange to mount a custom exhaust system to the
engine.  I had the new exhaust mounted to a stock Land Rover silencer that
exited the proper side of the truck.  The silencer had the tail pipe
attached.  The silencer was sourced through Rovers North.  It was very easy,
once I had a couple of the parts in hand.  I also found heat shields to
mount to the system from Dunsfold.

I'm not sure on the other parts.  Let us know where you get an air cleaner
hose.  My original one is getting old.  A new one would be good.  Couldn't
you use a mounting panel from an early Ser 2 or 2A for the gauge?  At a
quick glance, they appear to be the same or similar.

I don't think the vacuum stuff will be easy to get around here, but maybe
Moss motors or similar place might have the fittings and then a local
pipe/hose place could make a up one for you.  Glad my truck had all of this
still attached.

Good luck.  I look forward to hear about where you get the stuff.
