How do you like the power spark ign? I've had good luck with Petronix so I haven't really looked at other options for a long time.

Seems to work fine.  Did not notice any difference from the points ignition.

Usually when I get intermittent wipers on a Series Land Rover it's because of a short or ground fault lol.

I mostly got it for the wipe with wash.  Not much money and plug and play.

Today's project...  Going over the brakes hoping to be a little safer...

What I found.  Two wheels had bad hub seals and oily brakes.  Fortunately I have the parts in the bins that came with the truck.  Changed the hub seals, put in new shoes and tossed in new cylinder seals.  I also found all of the leading shoe springs in wrong.  The manual could do with a better picture.

Installed SS braided flex lines as they was a set in the stuff that came with the truck.

Installed a new booster (servo) as it did not seem to be doing much.

And the result....  Better, but still not great.

Brakes have improved with use.  The new shoes needed a bit of wear to match the drums.

Already a Rover

Hi.  I re-read this and bookmarked a couple of things, thanks.
