I've been sacked as Admin on LRA.
well, that doesn't endear me to the new set-up
-
ok, what else can I rubbish now...
You're rebuilding a Land Rover, the possibilities are endless
If it's not a stupid question - are helicoils brake-fluid tight?
aiy, and with the V8 and LT77 plans coming to fruition (well, once a few miles has been put on it to bed it down with the 2.5NAD), the time is nearing

I've been using Loctite Pipe Sealant as well just to be sure and so it doesn't rattle loose
amazing how far the tubes of 270, 601 and 638 have gone so far

so is this one LRA and the other LRAF?

Well, after a quick phone call to my favourite Uni-Thread at mid day on saturday I asked for a helicoil bunch and a tap for the ill-fated M10x1.00, they said "yes sir, it'll be with you on Monday", tongue in cheek I thought different, but horray for Uni-Thread here they were at lunchtime!
I dug a 10mm drill out that was brand new and put some grease on it to pick up the shards of master cylinder, with the variable speed drill set to lowest I slowly cut the damaged threads out and cleaned the bits of metal out, with the new tap once again I put some grease on to pick up the shards and slowly put my MoD Apprenticeship skills to task and slowly cut in the holder thread.
The casting is very "bitty" in that it is very crystalling in content, needless to say it put me on tender hooks as I didn't want to take the tap to the end and strip the new threads out by a lack of concentration.
However, when I felt it showing signs of no more, out she came and with a feeding tool from another M10 kit I got in it went and all is fixed
ok, what else can I rubbish now.......

cheers! you have email

arse, arse and double arse! I did some quick mathematics in my head earlier based around 3/8" into metric equivalent and started thinking "oh pooh, it aint is it?". Looks like it is then
Guess that'll be another order your way!!!!!
is the M10 1.0 or 1.25 pitch? just that I have a 1.25 helicoil kit, so if I need 1.0 I can always order the tap and coils and thats all.

Ok, I'm going to kill someone very soon, I go to fit the pipes expecting them to be 3/8" UNF at the rear and 7/16" UNF at the front, only for the rear one to strip the threads
I then check the front one and find theat is a loose fit as well <wiggle, wiggle that'll strip pi$$ easy>.Any ideas? have I got something metric, NPT, BSP et cetera??? I'm effed off now as that's £65 of master cylinder shafted unless I go buy a 3/8" UNF helicoil kit to repair the damaged portion

Motorcycle magazines throw them in every now and then, I've got a couple I use on the motorbike and they are a god send, I'll have a look on the net to find the british mass-sales people for bike bits and see what prices they come up with.......

but leave that to the 109 for the moment! -
One thing I did notice on my 300 Series body is that most of the relays tend to switch the earth. This makes sense as you can wire everything using very small cable and run the feeds (via a fuse) direct to the component you are switching.
keeeh? the earth line has to have the same current carrying capability as the feed line, therefore it must be the same size, if not larger if it also carrys the return path of other devices

What The Heck Is Going On?

After all that I have read over the last few weeks, the one thing I hope and believe is that this side of the LRA dividing fence has been truthful and thought-out for it's members who emigrated from LRE.
I for one agree that the seperation from the old LRE forums has brought a fresh start to the forum and going back to the ex-LRE-LRA will feel like being asked back into the school class after being told to stand outside for ten minutes for being naughty
Our Ednotion link only has LRF at present as a link, so our title of LRA could change to something else, it would be nice to have something at least that seperates us from the ex-LRE-LRA forum to settle at least that confusion
