The new brake master cylinder you have been given is for a SWB model and is not suitable for LWB.
What's in your other box? Is your supplied clutch cylinder identical?

Mish mash is definitely a good description of the finished car.
Nice to see Sue and Rob though. 

Just watched Salvage Hunters - Classic Cars - Land Rover SIIA - 1972 J Reg.

Whilst lots of things were not as they were originally, from Steering Wheel, Head Lights should be in the Wings to Hinge Bolts what I found interesting was the Costs - Vehicle, Work done, some costs were quoted and some new items have standard costs.

Conclusion - I need there Ultra Low (Actually Negative) Labour Costs and obviously Purchasing power of buying all the standard Nut, Bolts, Harness, Lights etc etc. 

I sure people with be able to add more and/or maybe disagree with some of the following - But for a but of FUN SEE BELOW my notes:

£6,000 - Land Rover SIIA - 1972 J Reg. with Lots of Parts missing -  Rear Door, Floors, Door Tops, Harnesses, Seats, Etc Etc....

Items were Parts/Repair Process were either mentioned or they are known.
£700 - Front Wings Repair - Quoted
£400 - Steering Wheel Repair - Charlesworth Mouldings
£175
 
 

Hi al. IAM about to fix the brakes on my s2a 109 Diesel from 1971. I bought a new brake master cylinder, clutch cylinder and slave cylinder. Its looks like I've got another type?
The model I bought from
Paddock suppose to be OEM and called PMD350.


Can I use it or shall I order a new one ? Isn't that case which one should I buy?

They're good for a laugh though.
They certainly don't include travelling everywhere to obtain unobtainium in the cost of the refurbishment. I'd like to see if they could get hold of a November 1975 onwards Series 3 dashboard top for instance.  They are none about. Even Blanchard's haven't got them.

Jonathan Hubbard, who runs the Series 3 club page, is now refurbing s3 dashboards - or getting them done for him. I think - from the photos - they look pretty good.

A bit of a mishmash. The incorrect front panel was noted but what the "experts" (I use the word with utter contempt) failed to notice was the engine. As soon as the bonnet was opened it was obvious that the rocker cover was from a 5mb engine and when it was removed it was obvious it had been freshly painted in duck egg blue but was it a 5mb in disguise? A white steering wheel!!?? The visit to Charlesworth was interesting though as it was to Rob's premises. The tropical roof at £500 was an absolute bargain as it was complete if a bit tatty. Reg is WDD 348J. The interior appeared as if by magic, new seats etc as did the missing engine bay components which we never saw and of course we never saw the removal of the crankshaft pulley retaining nut and the fitting of the winch drive. Sold for £25,000 including delivery. It was what it was and it looked pretty good considering. I tend to be picky and get too serious when watching car restoration shows like this and Wheeler Dealers but they're good for a laugh.
DVLA records show it's currently taxed, last V5C issued September 2021 and it t passed its MOTs with no advisories.
Does it belong to a member?

Craig.

I saw that episode where the parabolics appeared as if by magic.

Finished painting the bulkhead (what I could get to insitu) after having a pillar and part of a foot panel replaced

Pulled a rear brake cylinder apart, I do have the correct seal kit, but found corrosion in the bore.

New cylinders ordered.
