The brakes have been stripped - the front wheels are fine but needless to say the wheel cylinders are seized solid as the vehicle has been standing for some considerable time. So, they have been taken to Past Parts in Bury St Edmonds to be re-sleeved in stainless steel. The back brakes were a litte worse, the bearsing appear to have been over-greased so this has leaked out all over the shoes and drums. Aside from the similarly seized cylinders, this means the shoes will also need re-lining before re-fitting.
Also, deliveries of oil, grease and spark plugs have been made. As ever, Morris are the supplier:
Golden Film SAE 30 oil: http://www.morrislubricantsonline.co.uk/golden-film-sae-30-classic-motor-oil.html
K42EP grease: http://www.morrislubricantsonline.co.uk/k42ep-lithium-multipurpose-grease.html
Also, a new oil filter has been purchased - thankfully and unlike the green goddess where these are rare and expensive, these are the same as early 1960s series 2 Land Rovers so a fiver a pop!
Also, new Spafax VM2 mirrors have been sourced. I use these on the goddess and RL petrol carrier and they are great - they don't look too modern but are unbreakable, easy to fit and are slightly convex.
As usual, the front and rear sidelight bulbs will be replaced with LED bulbs.
