You can replace the philips brake drum screws with a recessed allen hex with the same chamfered shape to fit the drum. They are a bit more positive than a philips head, slught smear of grease on the threads on most car fasteners saves a lot of heartache in the future. I did that job when I was 18, plus fitted new KingPin bushes then reamed them to fit with two expanding reamers as the top of the kingpin is smaller than the bottom. In order to fit the bushes in we put them in the freezer for a day then warmed up the casting and they slipped in easily, but you have to make sure the grease holes line up between bush and casting. If you start hammering the bushes in you will ruin them.

King Pins and Armstrong Shock Absorbers Uggh! Having owned an A35, after having to replace both King Pins, I decided that medium grease wasn't working effectively to lubricate the new ones fitted. So, I filled a grease gun with Hypoid Oil EP140. I regularly treated the King Pins to some lubricant that couldn't "dry out" like grease. No more problems after this.

I love these fixes… i drilled a number of holes in the floor to allow the rain water to pass through as it had so many leaks in the glass seals!!

Great video. The 1958 equivalent of carbon ceramics!

Should there have been a copper sealing washer between the hose connection and the cylinder

Dont think so. Its not leaked. But i suppose it wouldnt hurt to put one in.

the pipe connecting the wheel cylinders looks like copper not ideal needs to be steel
