Hydraulics

Tonight Steve was over again, and we bled the brakes and clutch. The brakes went well, but there is a definite problem with the refurbished clutch master cylinder, and so that will be replaced. That was the only problem, however, and aside from that, mechanically and electrically this Land Rover is ready to go for a test drive.

While waiting for the new clutch master cylinder, there will be time to finish up the roof sides. Steve helped put the "lid" on, and for now it is just sitting in place and is not bolted on, so it can be lifted for masking etc.. The new window seals have arrived, and once the painting is complete, the side windows can go on. The roof sides are the only places where the old gold paint still exists, except for the rear 'catflap'.

Wheels will go back on tomorrow and she can come off the stands. Far side wing will go back on once the clutch master cylinder has been replaced (which won't be until next week sometime, at the earliest, unfortunately).
