Series 5 circa 1962, can someone confirm thread and size of rear brake pipe fittings.
1/ rear of master cylinder 3/8 bsf ??
2/ connection to rear axle before flex
Finding conflicting info unf bsf .
just trying to get the parts ready as car is not at home. Thanks

Excellent. Thank you. Now that is really interesting. I did not realise that the design of the spring hook has completely changed! Stephen With the leg of the parts supplied hook shortened I found no need to rotate them, just compress with pliers and slide behind the backplate lug. :tu1: Yes. I did...

Please show the tool you made. I am not very skilled at making stuff but that is probably something I could do. Stephen Have a look at 6min 16sec in on this video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7owZ6_Lsl0 Excellent. Thank you. Now that is really interesting. I did not realise that the design o...

From your pic isn't the relief as explained by olonas in the wrong orientation ?

Why would you fit a different carb to original manifold?
The original is perfectly OK in its application, are you having problems with it?

If its the spindle wear from you other post, have you thought of bushing it?

Have you removed the door cards and checked nothing loose in the rear doors.

Not really spotted as it's my Moggy
Waiting to start The Winslow Classic run, 95 mile navigation event on Sunday.

An audible alarm wired to the higher pressure is also an option :tu1: As you say Phil an early warning of dropping pressure is preferable. Oil temp is particularly advantageous In a competition engine such as yours. Did once have a rod exit the side of the block on the dyno before the oil pressure d...

But if it comes on driving its probably too late, much prefer a gauge, that's why
I have oil and temp guages next to each other, you get used to normal needle positions and notice if out of the norm, even when not reading the actual numbers.

So my upper guess was close Phil , when I was a mechanic we used to call them "too late lights"

Depending on switch but normally 3 to 7 psi , I am sure someone will know the factory standard.

Thankyou for hte tip - following your advice and some UTube videos, the servo assist is definately not working. I suspect the vacuum and will investigate....somehow... Ratio servo??? Yes servos come in different rates of assistance known as the ratio Typically; a ratio of around 1 to 6 is achieved ...

That what I suggested aswell Phil, several VW and LR options

The output shaft speed would be the same versus road speed as it's the diff ratio. If the speedo drive pinion ratio that the ruling factor, count the revolution of speedo drive to revolutions of out put on both gearboxes.
A different 3rd gear as example would only effect engine rpm to vehicle speed.

You could check dimensions with suppliers on eBay, there is a choice of brackets . For example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394707625576?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gnvCGhCvRzm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=2BxJulB3QoW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Or fabr...

Remove the vacuum hose from servo end and plug it, brake fluid can still pass through servo but without diaphragm assistance. Compare this brake feel with when the pipe is normally connected.
When working correctly the effect is dependant on what ratio servo is fitted.

It’s no longer featured in this tin, anyone know if this omission is the way now or maybe just the make of grease. Interesting to hear. I haven't opened any of the grease we recently got, but it makes me wonder if ours will be the same. The silly thing was that at the time of purchase you could get...

Do you mean valves or valve guides?
