Hi Mich, you should use locking nuts (nylocks ) on the the 4 servo bolts, go for a new master rebuild is a nightmare, and get yourself some loom wrap do not use insulating tape as in six months it will be all sticky mess and will start to come apart, all good to see keep them coming

Thank you for the advice pal, I will get some nylock nuts for the back of the servo! I will be using loom wrap, I know how messy insulating/electrical tape gets 😅👍🏻

I would buy new master cylinder and save you time Mitch. Little tip do your wiring loom on a sunny day because the heat off the sun will make the loom more maluble to work with. 👍

Looking awesome Mitch great job on the painting mate 👍🏻 One thing I remember you doing and I think you have forgotten about you cut your clutch cable tube off because you said you were going hydraulic but you changed your mind I think , don’t want you to build all your brake servo and tower up for you to have to take it off and weld a tube back on mate or have you something planned for holding your clutch cable at the right angle , anyway your videos are great roll on summer and get the mk2 on the road 👍🏻❤

@Mk2Mitch

Ай бұрын

Thank you pal. You are completely right, I did cut it off, as was going hydraulic. I’ve had a long think and the plan is to make up a plate with an angled piece of tube to create the section I chopped off! 👍🏻

Great job mate keep up the good work 👍🏽

Go for a new one. The 4 bolts for the servo I would use spring washers or nylocs as I can see them rattling loose over time, check with someone who actually knows. I’m guessing. Great video again. Keep em coming.👍🏻

Having the threaded ends of the bolts in the bay so they’re not getting blasted by road grime, water and salt, should also help if it needs removing in future.

I would use epoxy primer on bar metal

new master cylinder 100%, over the years i have rebuilt various master cylinders, they only last 6 month to 2yrs due to the worn bore, definitely a wise [safety] purchase nyloc nuts for the brake parts, supposed to be MOT fail - locking device missing or insecure [ but very unlikely these days] run a green wire from coil neg. to dash for rev counter still no strengthener on that servo support ? keep it up young man

@Mk2Mitch

Ай бұрын

Thank you for the advice as usual! No strengthener but I have had a chat with some guys and I’m going to get one then bond it on 👍🏻

If possible run the line around the front to the offside brake

Might give that a go!

You have no retainer panel that is welded to the bulkhead if holds the clutch cable in place and is sandwiched between the p.box and servo tower

@Mk2Mitch

I do have the reinforced panel, it’s just missing the clutch cable hole! I have plans to sort this soon 👍🏻

Mitch why is the top pulley not paint like the bottom pulleys

@Mk2Mitch

Ай бұрын

Purely because it’s adjustable and if I need to adjust it when tuning the car then the paint will crack and flake off 👍🏻

There should be a strengthening plate on the outside of the inner wing which is welded to it, yours is missing I'll send you a pic later, what throttle linkage you going to use as you may need to modify the standard pedal?

@Mk2Mitch

Hi mate, yes I know the plate you’re talking about! I find myself if a sticky situation now though as the pay is painted and the inner wing has been coated 😬 I got a linkage with the twin 45’s so will need to have a look at it 👍🏻

Hi Mitch, great work so far , but a couple of pointers for you as someone else mentioned you are missing the clutch cable tube through the bulkhead, when you converted the shell.is the master cylinder scored inside if it is then get it lined by a company called past parts they can reline it with stainless steel liner..and supply correct seal kit.. new ones quality wise are not great from what I've heard. lastly the servo non return grommet if you check out Land Rover parts and order from britpart the following kit it comes with non return valve and grommet. britpart number 18G8953L no criticism here just some things to help you out keep up the great work on this build ........Chris

@Mk2Mitch

Hi Chris, thank you for the comment. The clutch cable tube is missing because I cut it off. I was going to opt for a hydraulic slave cylinder but I have now decided to go for the original cable. Because of this decision I will have to drill out the hole and make a bracket with the angled tube to mount onto the bulkhead. I will check out that company for the brake master cylinder and will have a look at the seal too! Many thanks 👍🏻
