@ATLeagle in fairness, the parking brake mechanism on a Rover P5 is so comically overcomplicated that it'll have you confused even if you know how it works!

Currently bottled on the "fit the transmission" thing. My gearbox adapter is, so I found out too rather late, entirely wrong and the manufacturer insists it is correct.

So until that is resolved, I might as well get started on a different set of subprojects! Today I pulled the rear axle, in the rain, because that is fun and I enjoy doing that sort of thing in my free time.

While I was there, I found out that one of the rear springs was located with hope and not much else.

I needed some brackets for 4.5" angle grinders on the new workbench. They're cheap enough to buy, but I had lots of free 1mm galvanised steel that was saved from the bin. That's even cheaper, and I'm also impatient, so I made some brackets instead. They work well.

ANYWAY that means that I've thought about it and done the measurements so that you don't have to. Mini-instructions in the last pic. Maybe that'll save someone here a little bit of time. :)
