Off sick the previous ten days, but a good start to the week by finishing bolting in the main servo and screwing in the rear brake rod.  Pipework was next next, tricky to fit.  The connections on the pipe to the reservoir was fitted.  After that, the handbrake bracket was reattached and the pedal rod  screwed into the servo.  The final job of the week was to fill the servo with vegetable oil, as recommended by Clayton, and replace the top cover.  This completed the work for this week.  I am waiting now for the washers to complete the reinstallation of the brake rods and adjustment of the rear brakes.

Made a good start this week, preparing all the bolts for refitting the rear brake servo and positioning the servo with the chassis bracket loosely attached, ready for final installation.  there was not room to get the nut and Thackeray washer on the forward mounting bracket securing bolt with the servo attached, so I had to prise it back a little to give me room to fasten the bracket to the chassis cross member.  However, this took much longer to achieve than it sounds, due to having to do it from underneath the bus.  This proved unsuccessful as it was then impossible to move the servo back into the correct position, so I had to release the bracket from the bulkhead in order to lever it forward to line up the hole for the servo bolt.  I machined the fixing nut to size for the bracket’s lower mounting bolt but had to stop at that point due to feeling unwell.  Illness then prevented further work this week.
