    Thanks for all your kind words and answers to all my questions.

    I bow to your superior knowledge of landies.

    MMmmm...

    With all that experience I am at a loss as to why you needed to ask for advice.

    Good luck with your brakes and replies to any further requests for assistance.

    Don't know the first thing about Series, but when I replaced my hard brake lines on my 130 I had no end of trouble because the brake place I bought the unbent but crimped brake line didn't check the originals I provided and gave me imperial nuts rather than metric. They seemed to fit, but it was enough to stop it from sealing.

    Couldn't get a hard pedal and took forever to work it out.

    Well I don't think its air got the Mrs to give em a nice hard press and sounds to me like the shoes are flexing in the drums somehow they seem to fit the drums but I haven't checked them all yet. I'm taking it to a local brake guy who will radius grind the shoes and check the round on the drums. So ill post up the results when hes done

    Ok, I am tearing my hair out after trying to vacuum bleed my brakes today.

    Is the bleed nipple on the front wheels (11" brakes) really supposed to be tight behind the track arm? So tight, I can't get a 6mm hose on without kinking the hose?



    Seems even using the reverse bleed method sin't going to work too well in this circumstance.

    Are the braked supposed to be oriented with the brake cylinders at front & rear instead of top & bottom, or somehwere in between?

    Your pic shows the brakes as they should be.

    Yes - the nipples can be a PITA to access and an even bigger PITA to bleed.

    I would try adjusting the linings up until they are solid against the drums then bleeding. You should get a rock solid pedal. Then back the linings off.
