This is a really loving cool project. I'm gonna have to start watching the US government auctions for a HMMWV ambulance or similar.

Tomarse posted:you bastard! I also want one for my series 2 - my hardtop has one fitted but the seal is hosed as are the hinges and so it leaks a lot (i think i'm going to bolt the handle and silicone it shut) You could look at Jeep Wrangler spare tire carriers for ideas for a latch to take the weight off those hinges when it's closed. Taking bumps will get things flexin' in no time if the weight isn't balanced (can't tell if there's something behind that tire getting the job done or not).

I think most of that stuff in the US uses pumice. But I don't think I've read the label since I was a kid, so who knows.

meltie posted:Silly question; is PTFE tape safe with brake fluid? It'll dissolve in seconds. The threads probably aren't what's sealing; usually brakes rely on flares mating up properly rather than threads. The threads just force them together.

Tomarse posted:Yeah, I'm only using ptfe on the very outer threads of the bleed nipples to see if it means the pressure bleeder will work on them - I think it might be pulling air past the threads. When tightened the nipples seal against fluid with a mating face at the bottom end, not with the threads. NICE! There's got to be some kind of sealant that'll survive brake fluid, so if you want to use something I'd do some reading. I don't know off the top of my head, but that teflon tape will melt and turn to goo. I'm not sure I'd want to risk that stuff getting into the system, unless maybe you just put it on the last couple of threads that mate with the caliper.

I really like that idea and will be putting it to use soon.

WD40 is also not very good at what you're trying to use it for.
