after last times fun, I jacked it up to the highest settings on the axle stands
which bent the exhaust
replaced the split pipe between the brake fluid reservoir behind the seat and the reservoir on top of the master cylinder (thanks Rob b for the spare pipe you donated) then found another leak,
that ******* v v v
took it all out and stripped it down, the seal is not perished or torn, so must have had a bit of **** in it, to be right there has been a fair bit of **** in the old brake fluid so I'm gonna soak the cylinder and the reservoirs then flush the system, it will all be new then.
what sort of bell end does this to wires :?
but after a closer look the wiring is not as bad as i thought. I've got to extend the lighting wires and all the messy wiring has been added on for stereos and things, so I'll be able to remove all then without to much hassle and run cleaner neater wires for the stereo, so I'm happy about that, but another weekend passes and it's not back on it wheels

I'm going to dude, as the front is jacked up so high, the roof at the back is at chin height ... so I took another ( :roll: sorry) picture
and the front
I finally got round to putting the brake servo and reservoir into soak the old crap off, I have an hour spare so I started on the wiring.
after I removed the stereo and add on wires it not to bad,
Nice splicing :? now removed
I got a steering column with the bus, I removed both ignition switch's and they are different. I take it the other was off a real early and 71's have 5 wires (2 for ignition lives - lights or radio or something)
I'll get a late one from GFS (fitted the ear;y one for now just to start the bus). I've found front loom of a late bay in a box of bits I have, so at least any wires that need replacing or extending can be done in the same colours

I've had a double busy week, 10 hour days outside in the rain the working at the farm after, doing 12 days on 2 days off (to buy part but the Mrs don't know that :msn4: ) so not touched it, but i have been gathering parts, boring ones seals and ****, bought some dull knackered head lights and indicators that should suit it a treat.
final parts of the brakes :shock: how do they sleep at night ?
