Hello llessur, Cliff gave a very good description of the workings of the cooling system. My choice is to sense the top hose as this is relevant to engine temperature. The bottom hose will have differing temperatures depending on how well the radiator is working, i.e. in hot weather the bottom hose w...

Hello Llessur,

I don't see any problem with what you are suggesting. Some parts are more critical than otheres so swapping pistons between different dash pots is generally accepted as not being a good idea for instance but complete assemblies should not be a problem.

Hello John,

there are companies who can restore or recondition brake components including servos. Could it be a simple as a vacuum leak feeding teh servo or that the non return valve is missing?

Hello John, the steering column is differeent. I fitted one to my MK 1 as I wanted to fit MK 2 column switchwes for the dip and wipers (also fitted Mk 2 wiper motor) Nothing seemed to swap easily and i had to make up bits and pieces. I also altered the instruments to fit a tachometer instead of the ...

Hello all,

thanks to T2000 who generously donated one for me, I now no longer am looking for one.

Alec

Hello Johnny,

yes, I have a spare MK1 servo and master cylinder but my MK1 has MK2 brakes (Except for the autromatic adjusters on teh rear drums.)

yes, i'm still looking, would you pm me with detail;s and price so I can attange payment, paypal or bank transfer is probably easiest for me?

Many thankjs,

Alec

Hello all,

a quick speell on Google seems to indicate a 3/4" bore for the Vauxhall fitment? The flange orientation is probably Lockheed's way of ensuring that visually similar but different bore sizes do not get fitted by accident?

Alec

Hello Dave/Johnny,

thanks for the info.

Yes the flange is wrong but that's not insurmountable. It's had a hard life for a new item and I suppose the price reflects the scarcity?

Thanks again,

Iain

Hello Dave, thanks for the reply, but my problem is the reservoir is leaking at the base seam and proving problematical to solder, presumably due to the brake fluid being difficult to clean effectively. If I can't find one I'll have another go or as a last resort make a new reservoir. Until I starte...
