Very kind of you to help sir, probably at it next Monday so will let you know.
No pics so far today but decided I will just rebuild the slave cylinders as per Teffers suggestion.
Now these slave cylinders have a very different set up to a motorcycle caliper in that instead of seals around the piston they are at the ends of the pistons and the pistons are opposed like a boxer engine, both push out from the same fluid supply in opposing directions.
As long as you can get one piston out you can remove the seals for both pistons and then knock the opposing one out with a punch.
This is how the slave cylinder looks while mounted to the backplate on the axle.

As you can see the pistons are opposed with a single inlet around the back next to the bleed nipple. |

Not a real update, just had some bits arrive.
New under wing mudshields for both sides, steering box cover, a seal for between the vent panel and windscreen and some flap discs.
Hopefully I will get to do some more work this week as I have 6 days off, just have to make sure I don't eat too much at pork rib night.

Need to decide what finish I want on the mudshields and steering box cover. I'm thinking hot metal spray, powder coat and then underseal just so they last another 40 years. |

If a lightweight has a V8, it's a retrofit...
As far as I know (which isn't very far ) they all had the 2.25 petrol.
As for the term 'lightweight', they weigh more than a standard civvy series 3. ____________________ Any and all advice given should not be followed - if you have to ask it means you don't know so get a man in to do it for you. |

V8's were never to my knowledge a standard fit in the lightweight, it wouldn't surprise me if the factory tried it at some point but none that I know of were put into production. All of the ones you see in public are retro fits.
The standard engine was the 2286 petrol but the Dutch did have LHD 2286 Diesels that were a bit of a failure, have a read here for details of them. |
