Yes I have, it is ready to be picked up, but unfortunately for me, work has got in the way, and besides I'm waiting on the other wheel cylinder to come back from up the Nth Coast, so to kill 2 birds with the one stone so to speak, cheers Dennis
ps I will post an image/description of what has taken place when I have it,,.
Here is an image of the said adaptor, it is I believe a standard brake fitting metric<>imperial

the male end of the brass fitting is metric 10 x 1.0 & the female end is 3/8"UNF.
I have bled most of the air out (I hope) and adjusted the shoes so they are dragging, either tomorrow or Sunday I will have another go at it, cheers Dennis
After taking 3 of the 'Poodle Patrol' for a work home visit as the residents love dogs and are always asking about them and ??WHEN?? am I going to visit with them, so I knocked that over this morning, that was the end of the morning.
After lunch, I run my compressor up until the safety valve lifted then shut it down, rigged an air line, and with the good wife helping and the Vacuum brake bleeder in action, I'm happy ATM with the brakes.
The vehicle is going to the 'All British Day' in Newcastle late July, so I checked over a few items, connected the rotating beacon and give the system a quick run

it still works, I'm happy about that, the only faults I found were that the heater fan & blower didn't work, I'm suspecting it's just the fuse that will need to touched/moved and away they will go, anyway that's been my day cheers Dennis

Now to file this information in my Word document under Series 3 Brakes & Clutch. :)

I am currently re-doing the brakes on my series 2. I picked up a firewall with a late series 3 pedal box with the factory booster attached. So I sent it off to be re-built and purchased a duel line master to suit. I also purchased an adjustable brake proportioning valve to get the bias correct. I had a the backing plates, shoes and springs for the front 6 cyl brakes, so I installed these and picked up some new wheel cylinders. Its a bit of a learning exercise as I am just following posts like yours and information from the manual and the parts catalogue.
I am yet to finish the system as I only received the front wheel cylinders yesterday but hopefully when I get them installed and run a few more brake lines it will make the landy stop quickly, when its on the road.
