Hello All Series 3 people<

I just ordered a couple of sets of brake bleeder screws and rubber brake pipes and wheel cylinder seals for my 1976 Six cylinder Series 3 LWB ute.

I just had a bit of a mental note pop up in my head as to whether these brake bleeder screws and rubber hose pipe fittings threads would be Metric or Imperial?

I informed the supplier in writing that my vehicle was made in 6/76 so cross fingers. Hopefully they send me the correct size threads and the previous owners have not mixed and matched various sizes.

What size flare spanners will I need?

What diameter are the wheel cylinders for each of these vehicles:

LWB Series 3 Ute Diesel 2.25 litre Four cylinder Year of Manufacture 5/76
LWB Series 3 ute originally 2.26 litre Six cylinder petrol 6/76

From one of the auto parts store's catalogue it looks like there is a choice between a two legged and a three legged honing tool. I am sure that last time I used one it had three legs. Which version 2 or 3 legs gives the better finish?

Would a sized honing tool that does Bore range 7/8'' to 1.1/2'' (22-38mm) fit both the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder sized wheel cylinder bores?

Gee I just remembered what year it was when I last overhauled brake wheel cylinders - 1987 on my EH Holden and not long married!!!

Have a good weekend Folks

Kind Regards
Lionel
