113-372

G'day All, So as not to waste valuable time, especially weather wise, I took on a quick n easy job this afternoon.
My Pintle mount, 2 of the spacer legs were eroded away with rust:(
as you can see,

so I machined some 7/8"dia round bar down to 3/4"dia, cut off the offending spacer legs,

here are the 2 US one's

tack new ones in place, check all 4 bolts go right thru without binding

next step weld them up, clean up etch prime paint it gloss black, the 4 new bolts 6 1/2" x 3/8" UNF + square section spring washers and 4 3/8"UNF nuts cost me $17.00, the originals were a tad thin in a couple of spots, anyway I should have it all fitted up by late tomorrow arvo, cheers Dennis:angel:

G'day All, As usual I ran out of time yesterday afternoon, took me longer to get home because of long weekend traffic:mad:.
Anyway the Nato hook is now fitted, what I didn't like was 'Max', Diggers sleeper at my place:p was watching how it all went together, but methinks 'Charli n Jesse' have been keeping a close eye on Max

now to help the wife with 'Charli' then get onto painting tyres cheers Dennis:angel:

G'day All, I going to buy a few meters of 3/16" O/D bundy tubing so I can plumb up the brakes n clutch, after fitting the springs to 'Wee-Wullie', I seem to have my fingers in too many pies at the moment (silly thing to do!!!) but if I don't do it, who will!!!!, cheers Dennis:angel:

Went to connect up my brake lines to the master cylinder on the weekend, and the damn thread is different. Must have changed it when they put the replacement cylinder in. (the one that poked through the firewall)
Are complete lines available anywhere?

G'day All, I'm not sure what you mean by ' the one poked through the firewall' if you could post a picture I might be able to help.
The brake master cylinder (if original) would be a 'CB' type easily recognized by the big hex nut on the end, both the inlet & outlet pipes will be 3/8"UNF thread, but if it's been changed to later 'CV' type indentified by it's alloy tubular shape (some copies are steel) it will have one pipe with 3/8"UNF tube nut and the other 7/16"UNF tube nut, or it could be that both pipes are 7/16"UNF tube nuts, hope thats of some help cheers Dennis:angel:
ps all Series Land Rovers have brake pipe size 3/16"OD, and here in Oz I doubt that anyone would stock brake bundy tubing to suit a 40+ year old Land Rover, I remake all my own brake pipes,,.

I've put a new CB on (and a new clutch master and slave), but the previous "owner" decided to fit an oddball unit, and punched a hole in the firewall as the pressure line came out the back/bottom, instead of the top as on the landy units.

Must have had a different thread, as the tube nut is just a whisker too big to fit the CB. :(

The "dodgy" cylinder had it's own reservoir, so the feed line from the original can was cut and crimped too.:(

Some people need a damn good beating. :mad:


However, I've just realised I'm getting a wee bit confused (after hunting for a pic).
It was actually the clutch cylinder they replaced. (with a different brake cylinder) So my brake line should fit after all........ I'll have to try again later.

Just thought it would be nice to get a pre-fab set, and know it's right.

G'day All, That type of master cylinder is a type that you would normally fit to a trailer as a brake M/cyl, thats why the outlet is on the bottom of the cylinder, like this generic brand for a Holden
javascript:; looks like I can't copy the picture, but anyway that style of master cylinder needed to be mounted 180 degrees around i.e. opposite to how it is now mounted, then the pipe outlet would be hanging in free space if you get my drift. here is a pic of my Wksp 109 with a CV type clutch M/cyl fitted, it shares the same resv as the brake M/cyl

hope thats been of some help cheers Dennis:angel:

Except for the early S1's which had 1/4" pipe. I agree make them - it is absurdly simple :D

Cheers Charlie

Okay. They've also retro-fitted a CV master for the brakes. I'm guessing that's why nothing fits my new CB.

G'day All, Here is a picture of the CB Brake & CV Clutch master cylinders as is fitted to S2A originally

this is the CB brake M/cyl, these will be fitted to 113-372 in time,
