Richard Farrant Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Bedford MW rear Brake Cylinders. If you think outside of the box, they are more avenues to search in. Rear cylinders for most Bedfords from 1940/50/60's used the same cylinder, right through to TJ, also RL. The wartime ones were handed but later they were made universal fitting, bleed screw could be moved to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim gray Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Lets not forget about the consumable side of things, lots of things mentioned that are a one off purchase for a restorer, like body panels etc ( working on the principle that your cherished item will not be used in combat and molly coddled) We do need a range of brake consumables inclusive of drums , tyres and tracks. A lot of electrical items seem to be covered already or an alternative is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimh Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Tyres, tyres and more tyres. Pretty much anything else can be made on a small scale but you do need quite a factory to make tyres. We imported some of the BF Goodrich 16 ply 40x8s for the S4 which cost rather a lot but it makes such a difference driving something on the road knowing that there isn't a single complaint someone could level at the tyres. They look absolutely perfect, too. It makes such a difference after years of scratching round trying to find even mediocre 40x8s and 9.00x24s.

Bluebell Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 STEERING WHEELS!! A lot of Bakerlite whhels go brittle and crack up. Bren carrier steering wheels, seeing as no one has spare one that I can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 The Fox exhaust is something which needs to be reproduced. So far ours has held up ok, but I would like to replace it with a Stainless one at some point. I believe LONGLIFE Exhausts in Cardiff will make pretty much any exhaust you fancy out of stainless and they love a challenge. They would only need something to copy from memory for a bespoke fabrication?? On the topic of reproduced parts.....Landrover Chassis repair sections that fit and are within sensible tolerance......Especially any panels that are connected with the Bulkhead!.....:cry::cry::cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Bren carrier steering wheels, seeing as no one has spare one that I can buy. Dunsfold Land Rover regularly repair Bakalite steering wheels that are cracked etc and they spray them up with 2 pac paint.......The finishes job looks pretty spanking....They didn't mention the filler to repair though. I would guess Epoxy putty would work well???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
