Looking good!

If the hub got that hot i would as a minimum replace the oil if you haven't already as it may well have lost its lubricating properties and secondly check the seals have not suffered from the heat. I had a over heating pair of front hubs (due to failing bearings in my case) and it cooked the seals.... 

Oh and which engine does it have? Plus were the oil seals a drama?

Welcome Dan,

Many on here have the Land Rover disease as well. To be fair i think that other than the 130 101 that i saw done as a camper i would agree that the 101 would be too small. Other than that i am probably of little help but i am sure that the rest will be along soon. Look out for Villager and Moose plus plenty more as sound sources of knowledge and advice.

What a great idea!! time for something similar on my mog as that makes it so much of an easier job.

Thank you sir. I am getting there.

Sorry all I have been unavoidably grumpy for some months and not checking in as I had 6 months enforced no Mog rest due to a bad back.

To say I wasn't a hay Bunny is an understatement. 😒

The company I used for my master cylinder was Past Parts. They specialise in brake and clutch refurbishment. Great to deal with a the refurbished master I had don was bored out, a stainless tube inserted and then machined back to standard to allow standard replacement seals in future. Great service and the fraction of the price of a new unit.

I have tackled my father and we we are going to look at making some of these up as he can braise the pipes up and i need teaching.

Rob & Sue,

That is a great little link you have put up from benzworld that I had not seen. It looks like I have some fabrication to do as my drivers side hub definitely suffers from this! It is something that I have always worried about and had assumed that capillary action was to blame but had never seen a solution to before.

Thank you,

Paul

Looking good!
