This is what I now have: It is not all fitted yet because I spray painted the clutch pedal tower, slave is in, pipe is connected to slave, routed up the bulkhead and ready for the master to go in. Old rigid pipe removed and all looks pretty neat. Once I get it all hooked up and bled I will...

Out of a matter of interest, why do you feel the need to fit one?

Also, friendly comment, but the thread title of "Help" is so vague that it will not get the attention it may deserve.

That is it, you assume your talking at the same level as the listener. I've been delivering training on Teams all this week and it was not until about 2 days in I realised some of my fairly technical training was well above the heads of those I was training. By Wednesday I had had to add in...

His videos are OK, but I don't like the TF videos, he is not that great at articulating to those who don't understand the full picture, Mike at Britannica Restorations on YT is far clearer and far more knowledgeable.

Buy the kit - it is like £20 on ebay and will always hold resale value - it also lets you do other things like take the FIP off without disturbing the timing. Look at it this way, how much are you going to save on labour, probably at least £100 so buy the kit. Don't slice the belt and try and...

... and out of centre balance which makes things exciting as it wants to tip over. Are you working from beneath or above?

Just slide it off, keep it dead straight and level till it is off as if you let it fall down onto the seal you can knacker it, mind you, I would be replacing it when it is out for the sake of £2-3 anyway.

A motorsport company, I will post full details once it arrives, I cannot remember their name. Looks like it will be tomorrow or Monday now it arrives, hopefully the master and slave too so I can build it all up on the bench and photograph. The fittings and pipe are all stainless. I think once...

Right, I decided to go and work it all out for certain. The master is drilled and tapped for 3/8 UNF. Into this screws an adapter face to face with a copper washer. The adapter takes it from 3/8 to 7/16 UNF and I believe a JIC flare. Technically you could get a 7/16 UNF to 7/16 UNF pipe...

I am surprised! I have One shot in my swivels and it won't drain out, sits there like mud. It is worth wetting the grease up with some EP90 as the grease sometimes, particularly in the cold, might not be great at lubricating the top end because there is no splash lubrication.

Thanks, so we are going to be 50% sure. AFAIK there is only two options for the slave, 3/8 UNF and M12x1 - it won't be M12 as this is an early Defender and I think the threads changed with the 300. Just ordered a TRW slave and TRW master and a stainless steel braided pipe to replace all the...

You drained grease? Well done! Do I assume you drained EP90 and refilled with EP90 oil? In which case, put in grease and it will not leak - then once MoT is done, top up with some EP90 to wet it up and help lube the top end better.

I have been researching this all morning and I am fairly sure this is the case for me, but can someone confirm or add their thoughts. I have it as master (550732) is 3/8 24 UNF and slave (591231) is 7/16 20 UNF I am going to do away with the rigid line, flexi and jump pipe and just have a SS...

Brand New LT230 transfer box - latest type so Disco/Puma gearing but can obviously go into earlier Defender giving higher gearing. I really need about £1k for it - located in West of Scotland but could courier anywhere. I may not reply that soon if you message about it but will do my best.

Any battery sitting at full charge is stressed. I spent 2 years of my life doing a huge international research project on batteries as part of a huge project in the Middle East, during that time I managed to meet and speak with battery manufacturers who gave me "Confidential" documents etc. (had...

Right, what you have all said basically is the same as I am seeing here, I am not therefore alone! Good. I was beginning to question this newish Yuasa Super Cargo - I got the Agilent lab power supply out which lets you monitor everything down to 0.01mA and voltage control down to 0.01V I can set...

Right, I am off for my MoT - 1990 90... wish me luck. Added: 14:13 - She passed! I might give her a bath and some V power.

I have a lump of it that lives in the Land Rover, so I am still on old stock, I am told, Eastwood Flexible strip is a close second and would be my product of choice when I run out of DumDum

Some universities are actually offering a degree in this! Example, take my 1990 Defender which has been rebuilt and take another 1990 Defender on eBay - let's just say a price tag of £10,000 for mine and £4000 for the eBay one - you look and go, right they are both the same vehicle more or...
