Caliper changed noticed hub and disc not that good. Had a spare bought year ago I never used and fitted that. Lo and behold the master cylinder has gone. Offer put in on eBay for one. Might be awhile before fitted as may be heading to a certain country to deliver aid.   |

Glad I wear glasses, today I pulled the brake lever and got brake fluid squirt out the master cylinder onto my face and glasses. I went away after that and thought I would update the pics of how Glynnes cars are coming on and photograph them instead and put on any vehicles page.

Seat cover sorted. Nice day for a road test, steering feels really light with new bearings   |

What are you going to paint it with? Something like her liner could work well.
