As for your question on Louisa painting your Landy, we have used that version of Watyl "Bronze Olive" (Army Green) because it is self priming, exterior acrylic, low sheen so it hides dents and scratches, and it is widely available. It is a colourbond colour. We're building our Landy's so that we can take them through dense bush, through rivers, over rocks, basically anywhere they're capable of going and not having to worry about getting scratches on them. With this paint it will not be out of the question to get home, find some scratches after cleaning down and then blowing some new paint straight over them. Plus the Army Green vehicles seem to look alright to me when they've got dents and scratches, it looks like they've been used for what they were made for! When I see a Gold Landy with dents and scratches, it looks as though it's been mistreated! If you go for one of the gold colours it will require base metal preparation, a good etch primer, a good spray gun and an enclosed shed free of dust. Louisa has lightly sanded down panels until the existing paint no longer flakes off then painted straight over the top with a $30 spray gun and $20 of paint!
On the good SWB she's been using an etch primer first as that will be our daily drive and fun on the weekends.
OK, here are three different Series III brake master cylinders. From left to right, a single-line one with "north-south" tabs/bolt holes, and an almost identical one with east-west tabs, and then a duel-line one with east-west tabs.
I think the centre one was the original in my '77 Series III but cannot be sure as it was not fitted when I got the vehicle.
(And if anybody wants the duel-line one you can have it - it needs a kit, I presume.)
