Another Test drive a bit further went well.
Brakes need more bleeding.
After 3 pumps it stops nice and straight.
So just some air trapped in odd places.
Fitted rear seats.
Time to get finished, the next one awaits.

Looks awesome!

BTW, a tip from many years ago , bleeding my Series 2 brakes was to pick up the front wheels. Lift the front with a garage jack to help release the air in the master cylinder

Old truck is to pump the brakes till they’re hard and jamb a piece of wood on the pedal & leave it for a day or two ......dunno why but it does work

Adjust the shoes until they lock up the drum.

Then you bleed 'em.

Just remember to slack them off again

Isn't it funny how the sometimes blindingly obvious completely passes you by, until someone actually states it?

The Brake problem.
It was the setting on the pedal/master cylinder.
It acted as if i had air in the lines. Not air just a setting on the shaft

Fitted all the seats, just need leather to make tie down straps for the seats.

She seems to have settled down now. No more fighting, i hope.
Now for the rear top sides and Safari Roof.
