    Help identifying front brakes

    Small world. My previous SIII 88 had two lefts when I bought it. I wonder if it was the same idiot?

    R380 stumpy conversion

    James hasn't been around for several years unfortunately - but if he said those are the right bits, then the odds are infinitesimally small that they're not!

    Good old scrappy

    You can still wander round the the two I know of. I think they just prefer an easy life and just crush what the punters don't pick off. Turnaround time is only about two weeks now, so you have to be lucky to find the car you need.

    Hello again, my TD5 90 brakes are poor you can stand on the pedal and coming to a stop takes time, although they are good enough for the MOT need help

    Funny things brains, I read it quickly and responded because that's what it meant without noticing the obviously wrong word.

    Stainless isn't always a perfect anwer. If air can't get to it it'll still rust unless it's higher than normal quality.

    SIII swb88 '72 Rear engine/gearbox mounts seriously out of alignment

    The other thought I had, bit like yours, was did he modify it to take a newer engine? Quite possibly true on the mounts, mine's petrol. Busy tomorrow, but if nobody else steps in and solves it I'll get some pictures of mine on Friday - as it is now - and you can compare with what you have. (I...

    SIII swb88 '72 Rear engine/gearbox mounts seriously out of alignment

    Some pictures of mine coming apart in case it triggers a thought. One thing I notice is that you have square mounts. Could one be the wrong height? Don't suppose they've got part numbers on that you can check? Incomplete, but may help? Annoyingly the pictures I put up in my similar thread...

    SIII swb88 '72 Rear engine/gearbox mounts seriously out of alignment

    I'm baffled then, because your symptoms are what mine were. Just to be completely clear though, you've got three things between the engine and chassis on that corner - engine bracket, bush and the bracket above? My Richards' SIII Lightweight was a bit off, both back mounts about 5mm too far...

    SIII swb88 '72 Rear engine/gearbox mounts seriously out of alignment

    I'm not sure if it's the same as an SIII, but if it is, have you got this bracket in there. It's an extra, shown as I found it after I'd made the same mistake. Belongs on the front driver's side.

    Vacuum pipes can collapse internally, so @tottot's test will cover that.

    Series 3 Leafspring preload

    Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better. I thought I'd left mine loose. I'll blame that.

    What makes you say that?

    Series 3 Leafspring preload

    If you're using OEM bushes that'll work. I had the luxury of doing mine with the body off and strapped it. If you're using polybushes there's no point, they'll just spin.

    Anyone have information about how Series 3s perform in accidents? Any documented history?

    Same with a (previous model) Defender.
