There's always the risk of marital disharmony to consider.

Cherry's first owner made this pretty box to go on the tunnel, presumably to hold a couple of packets of Woodbines.
As you see, he went down the Chesterfield sofa route, except for the rather high tech alloy handle.
I can't decide whether to fit it again. I remember it was just right for the elbow to rest on. Driver or passenger - not both.

I'm pleased to report a Result. The original piston, supplied by Tony Slattery, is identical to that described by Bernie Wood above; there are small discrepancies between my strange brass piston and "400" original - such as the flange where the secondary cup sits proud, and the actual piston o/d; notably, the brass piston is much heavier than the (aluminium alloy?) original.
Result: original ...

I once read that you can tighten up the YA handbrake action by adding spacers near the brass adjuster nuts. Shouldn't need it, since the cables are only a few years old, but with rear shoes and actuator lever checked and working, it's still an unseemly heave on the handbrake. Can anyone remind me where additional spacers give the desired effect? Thanks all. John.

Are you fitting new ones? Grease them first.

Some like to fit shielded bearings, as a means to help prevent oil leaking out to the drums past the gasket/o ring, and hub oil seal. I've always fitted non shielded, and as long as you use the correct gasket and o ring there shouldn't be a problem.

thank you

Due to the lack of interest of our cars, as evident in resale value plus the economy, I am forced to reduce the price of my Roller Cam Kit price to $ XXXX + shipping.

However, the price now is only slightly more than it was in 2012!
email or call me for the price :)

Yes.

Am i correct that the oil in the diff also is lubrication for the bearing in the wheel hub?

Thank you Willy.

It seems I have found a manufacturer of o-rings in Switzerland, who does special sizes.
I will order an Viton O-Ring to fit a metric size shaft and sports an imperial outside diameter.
