You can also tell by buildsheet call out for which tailshaft and the colour coding.

For example 75-79 models, M15, M38, M20 and M33 used the same shafts with 2x Brown stripes (#7819344). The BW...

If I had manual windows I'd be adding giant slabs behind them too, hate scuffed upholstery. This looks much better.

I believe the valves were supplied by Kelsey-Hayes and did similar vehicles. I don't know that any were the same part or substitute, but may have found their way into a few non-popular models for...

Ya, many are happy just to have a transfer that looks original, not be aware, or care, of the actual details on it if they suit. That's fine, I like them to be correct if possible. Many of the...

Fair to say non-brass NOS in discs is rare. If most have never seen one, and those hunting specifically for years have never seen one, that possibly qualifies. Hard enough finding a used original and...

Worked out after fitting a 15" rim and a 17" rim with 245/255 tyres that the 16" does clear both and not touch during turning, but ideally could be shorter so I have the correct 14" set on the way.

Thanks, all good, more conversation than anything. Just in case anyone used the Wilwood hoses, would think they were common with those who upgrade brakes.

Depends what 'worth restoring' means. You just have to find someone happy to spend many times it's finished value to get there, just like many vehicles.

Yes, it still uses the squeeze plug for switch. The switch itself changed a few times over the year, I don't know if this gained or lost the retainer.
