Filled & bled brakes (again) & checked for leaks. One leaking at rear calliper & another on the 3 way union on the de Dion axle leaking so gingerly tightened them which seemed to do the trick. With Jamie stretching to press hard on the brake pedal the rear hub bolts are finally tightened to 270NM torque. Jacked up car & re-positioned axle stands under the de Dion tube so that the rear suspension is loaded & the A frame bolts were then torqued up.
Rear diff filled with oil using Jamie’s solution of a funnel with long flexible nozzle. This was made easier by removing both the ply wood & aluminium boot floor. Took advantage of car being up on axle stands to liberally squirt Dinitrol ML penetrating rust protection into all areas where aluminium body is riveted to chassis.
