Hi, Listers.
I'm in the process of rebuilding/reassembling my '69 Spit and have
some questions:
1. Are the driveshaft flange bolts to be grade 8? I assume so, but
don't want to get into any trouble. Looks like 5/16-24 should
fit, right? And though I don't want the flanges to rust together,
I don't want to put anti sieze on them. Suggestions?
2. What are the modern "Approved Mastics" for sealing clutch and
brake M/C and pedal bracketry to the scuttle. Is Eastwood's
brushable seam sealer appropriate or should I be looking for
something else.
3. Outer rear brake pipes look (from VickyBrit and Rimmer catalogues)
like they should have double flares on both ends, and the hose
should have mating ends on each end. The hoses I got only have
flare seat on one end, other end is straight thread for
copper-washer seal to caliper or cylinder. Do I have the wrong
hoses or the wrong picture?
4. An offer -- I picked up a hundred EPDM O-rings for repairing my
PDWA (DCO damaged one of the old ones) so I have 98 left. These
fit the early PDWA (with screw seals on both ends) and though they
are round cross section should work as well as square section
rings, especially if your square section rings are rotted or
broken. If you would like a pair of them, send an SASE to me with
the notation O-ring on the outside of the envelope, and I'll post
them back. No charge, it's not worth it.
Many thanks in advance,
Donald.
