And it does list and picture the thing like a hose clip round the long side of the axle to hold the brake pipe.

My 1968 ex military 109" IIA has had 4 clips since I purchased it. However the axle strap is missing, which combined with the rubbers in the clips being worn, and possibly some stick strikes offroad, probably contributed to the brake failure.

I'll have to check the books, but mum's staying in the study these days, so I'll check tomorrow. My recall may well be the S1s but cant say tonight.

As for the tie, its a thin metal strip with a hook device at the end. A split pin slips over the un-hooked end and is then wrapped around the housing and brake pipe with the shaft of the pin resting in the hook device. You then tighten the split pin and it winds up the metal strip like a little drum winch and retains everything.

My 110 has one the same.



EDIT - FWIW, the broken brake line was repaired by crimping it and stuffing a piece of muesli bar wrapper inside to stop any leaks. After bleeding I then had brakes on 3 wheels.

Well, just had a look round this morning. Series 2a has four clips (plus the one on the axle housing). The old 2a that was attached to my overdrive has one each side (and no axle housing one) and the 88 mobile parts bin has none at all.

And, Diana, the type of fastener used on the axle housing is a type of hose clip - used (for example) for all the hose clips on my Citroen, except where I have replaced them.

Hi All,
Thanks very much for the advice - especially the pictures.
That are a FANTASTIC HELP.
I have included a picture of my current set-up.
As you can see - it's definately WRONG!
Once again - thanks everybody, you have all been a GREAT HELP
:)

G'day All,
As mentioned they are 4 cilps (2 each side), the rubbers were badly perished and hopefully I could have sourced some replacements ? hopefully?, no way will the pipes fracture on mine, as it is new tubing and the Land Rover will never see any off raod use, not while I own it, I have a 110 for that type of play, anyway cheers Dennis:angel:

Dinty's 113-372 restoration would be as good an image as you can get.

Except that the OEM position has the pipes very close to the housing and usually just behind the lip at the top of the housing as it goes around the diff banjo. Very hard to do in practice.

Bugger I knew it was wrong Ian has done the brake lines on the series amd has done it so it runs over the front of the rear diff not the back:(

The 80" S1 had them running in front of the diff I think - well it was on my car.

It shouldn't be a big deal to disconnect yours and encourage them into the new position - I seem to remember doing that on my S1,

Cheers Charlie

Just had a look at my Series 2 & Series 2a GS.

The 2a GS has 4 rubber lined mounts and a strap (the one with a 'split pin' to tighten it). The series 2 has only 2 rubber lined mounts and a strap.
