Gazzar Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Does anyone have a photo of the front Tee piece in situ on the brake line, for a lightweight? What does it attach to? Also, did Rover use the plastic clips to attach the front line to the chassis throughout the series 3 production run? The parts book only had plastic for the front, but both metal and plastic for the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I don't think metal brake clips are considered acceptable now - and this may well have started during the S3 run. I think my T reg one had them. It also had no T piece for the front brakes - both pipes coming from the PDWA. This was the 'Optional' servo which I think was compulsory on diesels. My X reg 109 (originally petrol) may well have been different and may have had a PDWA with one fewer pipe - and a T piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 That's interesting, because I don't recall taking a tee off the front when I striped the chassis, but the brakes were not original, so I didn't give the set up much thought. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Pretty sure T piece is situated on the offside main chassis rail at the bottom of the curve that goes over the front axle think it's on an L shaped bracket attached to the chassis I will check my lightweight's in the next couple of days and post a picture regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I think my 109’s Tee is fitted to the inboard axle strap/bump stop bracket on the driver’s side chassis rail, and I think Helena’s 1982 Lightweight had separate lines from the PDWA unit.

Gazzar Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 My 109 is the same. I'm trawling through various lightweight rebuild threads to see if I can find a photo. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 May be worth having a look at the s3 optional equipment catalogue. I wonder where that can be found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Pictures from my series 3 and 2a lightweight in that order bit dark regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Thanks for that, are there two lines going to the back on the 2a? No! The 2a near side goes via the bell housing X member, doesn't it? And is that a civilian series 3, single line system? The series 3 lightweight were dual lines I think.
