Rover8FFR Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Hi wayne the seals are standard 11/8 lockheed cup seals just bought some myself don't need to tell them what vehicle they are for regards roger Roger I assume you mean the ones in the expanders. Like these on eBay item number 151694690243 2 X NEW LOCKHEED WHEEL CYLINDER CUP SEALS KL71475 1.1/8" DIAMETER LISTED TO FIT MANY APPLICATIONS Great info and thanks Edited June 29, 2015 by Rover8FFR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 The seals state 2762. Does anyone know if the KL71475 are the same shape. Both are described as 1 1/8" cup seals. I've emailed the seller but had no reply, and that was a few days ago. Keen to get an answer to complete expander rebuilds. Help appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Wayne in my evolved master list I have that KL2762 is the cup in the repair kit KL71490. It is likely that KL71475 is a kit rather than just a cup? Unfortunately my Lockhead/Automotive Products Co catalogues are packed away & I can't see what the kit comprises. But are these NOS by the looks, would it not be better to buy new from John Walker & probably cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover8FFR Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Probably a question for Clive more than the collective. I am well advanced with the refurbishment of my brake expanders and tappet assemblies and need to get some photos added. Also found a NOS expander, albeit with the incorrect handbrake cable (interchangeable luckily with mine). I wondered if it was possible to obtain the handbrake cable assemblies, or get made up. The existing ones are in good condition internally and after a little oiling slid freely in the outer cabling. Just crossed my mind what happened if they went snap! My front expanders weren't seized but the rear were, so I have redone all of them with meticulous cleaning and new seals etc, with the obligitory rubber grease usage. They all operate smoothly know :-D Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Just crossed my mind what happened if they went snap! You would be very unlucky! I have never seen the cables alone, although they were demandable as LV6/MT1/AU/LK/34473 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I know what you mean. They do look quite meaty and don't actually travel that far up and down the outer cabling. My expander has arrived now which looks lovely in its old yellow Lockheed boxing. Picture needed I know Infact after the brakes it should be mainly wheel arches cosmetic, painting and lighting to concentrate on.....

rampant rivet Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hiya wayne great to see that you are making good progress on your project too, would be good to see you both at some shows next summer as I am aiming to get the Bedford sorted by the spring ready for the next season :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hiya wayne great to see that you are making good progress on your project too, would be good to see you both at some shows next summer as I am aiming to get the Bedford sorted by the spring ready for the next season :-D You know what its like with work and juggling the time with loved ones. I have buggered about for ages with this, not getting stuck in and have been forcing the time on piggy. Trouble is most of the time is spent restoring bits to be serviceable again... All progress but slower than bolting a new bit on... Ironically though I enjoy that stuff as its therapeutic Once I her stopping to match the going and charging then I can sort the prepping and preservation finishes. I have decided to get her to shows before the rear side lockers are complete so that can be works in progress. Also Henri is asking me when we are going camping in Humber at a show like Evesham!!! It would be good to see you too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
