Itsa single pipe system, push and pull, although I can't remember whether push / pressure is lock or unlock & vice versa.

Its usually the boot lock which causes the pump to run on I believe, I have the same problem in Big Red but never fixed it. The boot lock is easy enough to block off as it runs ...

I looked in to printing the fog light grilles but it never seemed worth the effort as a commercial venture since the originals are still available from Tradition at fairly sensible prices. I think there are a fair few 3D models of them ...

Some interesting and unusual colours in there. Looks like a bushing / bearing has disintegrated, or its shredded a clutch pack, but the oil would smell burnt if that was the case, and its very distinctive. You usually see fur on the magnet and some swirls in the pan, but that brass deposit is not ...
