Sorry it's a SWB 88

I have a 1984 B Reg series 3 and I need to replace the rear brakes and hub seals but there seem to be multiple versions on padockspares. Any idea the right ones for a 1984 series 3?

got a lever that goes out by the handbrake and it is an overdrive as it works! Didn't notice a crack

no idea, all I know is that it works!

can anyone tell me seal kits for the item arrowed? I am not sure what this is (overdrive?) but it is leaking and I would like to re place gaskets etc

me either

I understand I may not need them but trying to keep my landy as original as possible so just looking for someone who makes the brackets.

makes sense, just wondered if anyone had made the axle strap brackets

So my 1984 Series 3 has a decent chassis but both axle strap mounts at the rear are rusted through and on the nearside, the are that this bracket welds to on the chassis rail. Does anyone make a repair panel for this area?

About 30 rivets and yes, got the pads from YRM

Got a weber so will give the idle jet a clean. How would I know if I have thrown an dizi weight?

So my 1984 series 3 has a backfire under deceleration. I thought it was that I had exhaust leaks but they are all eradicated but still popping. Seems to be when you take the foot off the gas and its decelerating. Any ideas?

So I finished the rear floor today. Was a pretty easy job. Riveted the rubber pads on the crossmembers , fitted them and then the floor on top and riveted everywhere.Looks good

My 1984 series 3 has a very noisy gearbox and my mechanic said it is on its way out. Anyone know where I can get a good recon gearbox for a 2.25 gearbox?

Most of mine was solid riveted and was easy to drill out. Job took about 30 minutes. It took longer to remove the rust from the chassis rails that you get great access to.
