Finished off fitting new brake line and flexible hose on the front passenger side. Getting the front driver side ready for when the flexible hose comes tomorrow. The franklin flaring tool works well.

Them's be some rusty looking shock absorbers

Thats because they are genuine land rover originals.

Had all the rear brake pipes replaced with copper ones.

Used mine to pick up half a ton of sand for a garden project. Rides so much better with some weight on.
It's been converted to coils, compressors still there for SLS so tempted to put it back on air

Not cunifer ?

bought it

I was given a coil of copper brake pipe the other day, it has a BS and an EN number on it, but it doesn't say cunifer (kunifer?) - is there a BS or EN spec for it?

Nah, had some copper piping left over from a recent plumb job

Started to jack the new o/s tree slider into place for fitting when I suddenly realised the front wasn't raising. Quick look underneath and I see the slider vertical is rammed up into the holding bracket for a sensor...which I have no idea what it is?
So (without a pic), it's a sensor, plugged into a lead that disappears toward the engine bay, which is riveted/torx'd into the bodyshell right opposite where the ACE pump used to be and beneath the driver's seat.
Please, what is it and can it be moved, i.e. simply drilled off and relocated onto the steel of the slider?

Bought this little beauty

It's going to live on in another vehicle, it might be a donor for the off roader I've bought but it'll never see tarmac.

What colour is that? I'm after an Oxford blue NSF wing, as the lacquer is peeling off mine

And I'm too bone idle to spray it

It's this colour
But if this one is ever going to return to the road I'll need the wing, mirror lights, air box and the bumper plus a few other bits....
I'm picking them both up on Monday and depending on what state the off roader is in will decide it's fate. According to the previous owner it's had 2 1/2 grands worth of welding done since he bought it
