I need to replace the brake manifold that sits on top of the rear diff of the Rangie.

I don't have a picture but it has two inpits from the rear and one output to each side.

It is a brasss casting and I've lunched the threads on one of the outputs . It would appear the previous owner had a brake line replaced and the T"£%er who did it cross threaded the brake fitting but got it to seal.

I come along to replace that brake line and of course there isn't enough thread left to get a puchase and it strips .

Fittings are imperial.

Bluddy Land Rovers.
TIA

Pity it wasn't one in and two out Bish, I could have sorted you out by post return - pipe fittings as well.


Les.

Thanks Les.

Typically, mine has to be different!

Is it something like this ?



From VWP

Not really.

All the in/outputs are horizontal and there is a hole through the casting so it can be bolted to the bracket on the diff housing.

It's sort of "T" shaped in plan, but the T is very squat.

has anyone got an IMPERIAL one of these kicking around they don't want?

I'm just building a "new" back axle for my project90-2 and i discovered to my "pleasure" this afternoon that the one i've got is a metric one.

swap for metric or beer tokens?

Jim,

Just make up the brake lines to fit what you have - I just had to do one end imperial, the other metric 'casue the caliper I ordered came metric

I though about maybe doing that, especially as the axle is sat on a trolley in my garage, it's nice and easy to get to, i just thought that it would be the lazy arsed way out of doing more work easier to get the union.

What year did they switch from imperial to metric?

My 1985 Rangy is Metric

I've got a 3-way one Jim - as in series rear axle. Imperial thread too.
I have new imperial or metric male/female fittings as well if you need any.

I'll dig it up in the morning.


Les.

Cheers Les, i'll take you up on that!

J.

I have a simalar problem with metric and inperial. I just change the end on the brake pipe, only takes 2 mins.
