These are very good and thank you. Have you recreated them by chance? Would there be a PDF available that does not pixelate when zoomed in? At my age...my eyes need all the help possible...

A multimeter is a constant toolbox companion. Strongly recommended. So is a wiring diagram. I have an '87 110 and I'm still looking. Can find miliary wiring diagram, and rough copy/difficult to read civvy examples. If you find one, please share here.

Some readers will know the LH front radius arm thread is...knackered: So I picked up a pair of secondhand arms from another local restorer/enthusiast fellow. A snip at £20 for the pair. One of the very first jobs I did as a MoD apprentice was shacklepins and bushes on a S3 LWB. I cant...

This kind of mess was referred to in the workshop as a Dewhurst effort. Which works for anyone who can remember the chain of Master Butchers.

Thats exactly what I need. Thanks Mike.

Slackening the front axle radius arm nuts last night on Izzy revealed the LH one was...showing less than optimum on the thread: A die nut might recover that. But its asking a lot. And cost of a die nut is likely to be more than a second hand arm... So far I have yet to find an ID on the...

At some point I will be indulging in a TIG welder. Thats the first job... Many thanks for this.

That is going to be copied here...looks very handy. Good luck with the knee healing.

The shuttle vavle came off and is now in bits, being cleaned up for reassembly. The plastic switch seems to be fouling the shuttle valve itself if fully screwed down. No washer was there so head scratching time for assembly to make it work. Took the time to confirm the threads on the master...

And the answer is...simple. At the foremost inlet port there is a small circular peg: Push the piston in a little to take the spring pressure off it and remove it. Relax the pressure on the piston and it pops out: And its now apart. Evidence of dirty fluid but otherwise servicable after a...

Well...I dunno...how did they put it together? What looks like a split ring in the top image isnt...its a blob of muck. Sealed unit? Any and all thoughts most welcome.

Thats what I thought...but if its there I'm blind...will post a piccy tomorrow.

The PAS tank and pipes were removed today. The return line was in two peices, with jubilee clips either side of the join. This is what I found when I pulled em apart: A male-male union of as yet unmeasured size but likely 3/8 BSP. Might come in handy one day so it will go in the hydraulic...

According to t'interweb there are rebuild kits for 110 brake master cylinders. Just removed the one from Izzy and for the life of me I cannot see how it comes apart? As an 87 year model Izzy would have had drums to the rear but it now sports a Salsbury diff with discs. I did note the main...

A while back I posted a question about what 2-pack body adhesives folks were using. Someone suggested Optima from Ebay so I sourced one. Yesterday I broke the seal and started bonding in various patches and repair strips. Its quite a thick consistency and needs a bit of pressure to force it...

Timing belt...its a mileage or age thing. 10 years is a long time and I share this having learned the hard way when one broke after only 25k miles but was 4 years beyond its time/life.

One of the joys of this kind of work is finding you need a new tool. Got some holes to countersink in a tight spot sourced an air drill from Fleabay. Izzy has now moved into the garage and is up on axle stands. Coolant has been dumped and the rad and intercooler off. Finding a hardspot for the...

Would be very surprised to find a BSP thread there. First guess would be UNF. Followed by UNC.

Thanks Phil...I can put the worry beads down.

Its a technique called photogrammetry. More here: What is Photogrammetry Disclosure - I run the company along with my business partner.
