That works. My brother came over and sprayed the doors over the weekend so I guess I'll have to start re-assembling them.
Thanks for that

Yes, maybe it's a Kiwi thing. There was sound deadening glued to the inside of the hinged metal panels also. The truck was assembled in Oz I think.

Mystery parts

Any one recognise these?

I know they look like mudflaps but I can't see how they fit back on and I'm beginning to wonder whether they are not TK parts at all. The metal brackets you see form a...

I think the pedal needs to be UP if you want to bleed by gravity; it is the only time the reservoir is directly connected to the wheel cylinders.

What sort of braking system is it? Is it...

I would disconnect the cable at the injector pump and try operating it by hand; the cable may not be pulling far enough and adjustment is all that is needed.

The air comes out from the handbrake lever valve (not the servo) at the back of the cab where the lever bolts on. It's probably the valve, mine did that and I have a new valve to go on but I have not...

Shame we're not in the same country. I'd swap you a 466 for your 500T like a shot. That 500 turbo does not have a great reputation for reliability but it is much more powerful than the 466. I'd...
