Good tip on copper slip
Thanks 👍
I really appreciate you taking the time to explain why things are done not just put it together. It's understanding the why makes you check it's going back together correctly. 😎
Thanks Tom!
Enjoyed that mike.nice work on slave.could watched all-night.👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I stopped using copper grease years ago. I found it didn't work well with ali and switched to Ceramic grease. It has a much higher melting point and I've not had it dry out or react with ali. I started using on injectors & glow plugs, then brake shoes. Now I use it on threads as well. It is expensive in tubes but much cheaper in a tub.
Thanks for sharing
i like you videos ! Very practically ! 🙂
Glad you like them!
A lot of clutch kits ive fitted come with their own packets of grease supplied, interesting the landy ones dont come with any.
May save a penny or two....
For such aplications I use graphite grees.
Cheers King Mike! 🥃
Good stuff!
Goodness Gracious you, indeed. Ha.
Bmw motorcycle shaft drive grooves are installed with white lithium grease. 11years since it left the factory and it looked like it was installed and greased yesterday. No drying at all.
I still have a Snap-On brake cylinder hone tool I got back in the 70's. It has two arms and a choice of stones. Work very well even on very small cylinders (e.g. Minis (Ugh!). I'm not sure if they still sell them.
The one I used was on special and the end of the line - I think cylinders are so cheap now that they are not worth repairing
Noticed the same thing with copper grease. Use lithium now and waterproof marine for many applications. No issues seen.
Hi Mike,
I will ask that question, Why not in blind hole? Hydrolic?
Regards,
Paul
Yes blind holes with a liquid will hydraulic and crack the casting
I am not sure what the variety of copper based antiseize you are using is... I have used it for years and mine is always a really red copper colour,(unlike yours which seems more gold coloured) and always seems to stay very slimy.. I currently ues the CRC copper antiseize and it seems to be as good as the other I used.. which was the same as used by tire fitters on truck studs/wheel nuts. ( don't know the brand of that, but seem to remember Castrol... I had some donated from a 4 litre can by a tyre fitter acquaintance, but recently ran out.. hence CRC...)
I’ve had that problem with copper slip, I put it down to it being an old tin
I tend to use the aluminum stuff now - I did this job 5 years ago, but the first time I had chance to see how it fared
Mike. Was there ever a complete clutch conversion from hydraulic to mechanical for Land Rovers at your time in England ? We understand the heavy flywheel with the Buick/Rover V8's were necessary, as think turbo diesels could do without ! V.
not that I know of
Hi Mike,
It's been a long while. My apologies. Would graphite powder work better as its a dry lubricant. Just a thought?
It should
I always thought copaslip was an anti -seize compound rather than a lubricant.
Correct - but I see so many clutch mechanisms all rusted up and seized
Meant for threads only. The copper being soft acts as a lubrication to stop the threads seizing.
About forty years ago I used that type of hone a lot. Wheel cylinders, master cylinders etc. But it was high quality with good stones. Cylinders in those days were expensive.
Interesting note on the bleed screws. Even longer ago I was working on Series IIas in the army. They had two wheel cyls on the front brakes, top and bottom. Guess which cyl had the bleed screw...... How the bloody hell are you supposed to get a hard pedal with that setup?? It was suggested by some bloke from Girling that we could unbolt the backing plate and turn it upside down to bleed. my suggestion that it'd be easier to turn the bloody car upside down was not well received.
I should have mentioned but forgot, I polished the bore with some 800 paper - you will see it on the bench
On my mates 109 we lifted the front with the lift truck and it was easy to bleed - you do have a forklift?
Lol!
Not sure about the copper slip you are using Mike, it looks more like soup than grease. Not sure if that is why it is drying out so badly.
Not used it for a long time so I think it has separated, but out of interest many years ago when I was an apprentice at ICI, we used this regularly on site - I found out from a mate who was there 10 years ago (same site different company) that it was banned off site and they used something different
@@BritannicaRestorations Ah, Mike, now I really need to find out why?
Hopefully someone in the comments will chip in.
It may have been banned because of incorrect application. ie; using it in the wrong place, bearing journals or something equally daft.
I have been using if for twenty years or more but I only put it on threads. I find when I go back a few years later it releases the nut or bolt just lovely.
I take it the heavy snow hasn't arrived yet? Is it a bit late this year?
It could have something to do with chemical reaction - who knows, but I have seen it dry out here, but this was the first time I saw stuff I applied years ago
We have had a few inches here and was -10c when I got up this morning!
@@BritannicaRestorations A few inches of snow and -10c? The UK would grind to a complete halt with that!
My copper slip does dry out after a few years but I guess all grease does.
I am just trying to think of what copper reacts too? Hopefully the viewers a bit brighter than me will let us know. You have some good commentators on this channel, very helpful.
-1c when I woke up this morning. I guess that is warm for this time of year. We have just had 100 mph winds and snow up north. A bit bloody rough for a few days.
Looking forward to your yearly video showing the first heavy snow in Canada, it always looks so nice.
Copper and ally don’t like each other, maybe that’s why it was banned?. We use ceramic slip at work, I don’t really know it’s long term viability, but it’s thick as anything and really prevents the steel bolts from reacting with ally body.
Rand Dollar rate is up now so ill have to wait to buy the usb now🙁
Hold on! I am working on setting up my own server now I have better bandwidth - I want to host all my videos off YT and have fully searchable access for videos/downloadable files inc tool designs - give me a bit of time!
