How do i uprate my S111 brakes

Hello, my S111 wont stop... Can anybody tell me how to go about uprating these wooden stoppers. I know i need servo unit but will i need duel master cylinder and break failure valve? I f someone could help me please, cheers Dirk.

I don't mean to be a git m8, but if you don't know how to do it, should you be attempting it? If you have a m8 who can help you then he'll know what to do. Other than that, leave the brakes alone. You could end up killing yourself or even worse.... me!

Press harder??!!??

ooohhh ... you're gonna get it for that!!

For top advice try Sheddy's boat launching & recovery service: Enquire within!

Sorry chap, couldn't resist!

see you should have bought that snorkel from e bay

Nah, last bid was £1000........think they bought a rear door too!

Now I'll have to publicly denegrate you ......



I have just bought a roof rack from e-bay, a full length Brownchurch one with rear ladder for £45

think i'll do and search and see if i can buy e bay

ere has any one manages to glue a defender servo and master cyl into a 3 yet??

Dirk,

mine were dire - pulled to right locked one wheel etc. First off as someone said don't do it if not confident. A guy I shoot with is a mechanic with a bootiful original Lightweight - he did a full service and now my Series III stops almost like a modern saloon . he says the brakes were well out of adjustment(it had been standing for 3yrs) all he did was bleed and adjust them.
If you live within driving distance of Byfleet, Surrey I can hook you up with the chap. He has just been made redundant and is happy to carry out much work for fellow Landypersons at a very reasonable rates. I trust him implicately.

If yours is a SWB you could fit the 11" front drums off a LWB as they have twin leading cylinders rather than a single cylinder. I have this arrangement on my SWB, the brakes are now excellent (well, compared to what they were!). You need the backplate, drums, shoes, cylinders and the 2 short lengths of brake pipe that link the cylinders on each hub. Shoes & cylinders for an axle set you ought to be able to get new from Paddocks for about £30-£35 ish, pick up the drums and backplates from a scrapper ... MUCH cheaper than a later servo & master cylinder. However THOROUGHLY recommend proper check & adjustment, desparately easy and normally good results.
