Land Rover Series 3 Restoration Part 9 - Brakes, pipes and clutch

Enable captions for comments in the video.
Time to get them brakes and clutch working.
The goal for now is to do a test drive, so I will be putting some stuff together now, that I will be taking off again in a near future when time comes for a paintjob.
After some searching around, I decided to scrap the PDWA as it was rusty, and I kinda broke it, and instead getting a sensor in the cap (not in video)
If you just joined, then what you see in the video is a Land Rover 109" from 1975 that I'm currently restoring to somewhat decent condition.
Follow for more updates as i progress with this project.
Next time, either brakes or pedals. Maybe both :)

Hello, NEVER use grease in a break! Safe greetings ✌🏼

Hi, Thanks for being observant. I had nothing else at the time to help the brake shooes get in place. I have replaced it :)

[@PaulMcGuinness]

I had *exactly* the same thought about those rubber pads for the pedals when I fitted mine. 1 hour of swearing later.... 🤣

[@CMFotoPeak]

Oh yes, those rubber pads was quite difficult to deal with :D

[@Pinz-Rover]

Nice!

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

It is a good idea to fit the brakelines first, the the cylinders. Can you tell the threads and shape (E or F) of the connectors, pls.

[@CMFotoPeak]

Noted about the cylinders as it was a pain to install. Not sure which connectors you're referring too ?

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

@@CMFotoPeak I mean the Brakeline nipples. The latest threads are M10x1mm. Some are 3/16"?

Wish I could get all parts to recondition a series 3 88

[@soe_tv]

what is the tool you made the brake line ends with called and where did you get it?

[@CMFotoPeak]

Try searching for Brake Flare tool kit. Every car part place should have it.

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

What brand is the brakelight switch,pls.? I tested several ones, as a lot of them don't last longer than 2 or 5 stopps.

[@CMFotoPeak]

I think it's the original, as i didn't change it. it says 39184 and 1381A on it. I haven't actually tested if it works yet ;D
