One of the locals was experimenting with 'Island Traffic, Concrete, two piece, metal banded, Mk1' last night. Seemed to work very well on a Nissan Micra! :-D
The Britsh Soldier from Victorian times till the end of World War two carried about 70 Lbs of equipment. Now they carry about 31.75 Kilos of equipment. And most individual parts weigh less.
On any vehicle with that history, I'd bite the bullet and repalce all the brakes. All sort of nasties can occur. As many here have me say before 'To Quote my old Mentor Howard ' A bugger if they don't go, a disaster if they don't stop!' Cupro nickel brake pipe all the way through is also a very good investment. Fit and forget.
The cut in insurance peremiums may well make it viable! :cool2: Trouble is with Rosie feeding him on Chocolate and Wine, would you be able to get him back?

Does anyone have manuals or information on how a vehicle would have been set up to run on town gas? A La Copral Jone's van. Also gaskets for the Wolseley? The owners club is not the most helpful.
