I look forward to seeing what you do with this beast!

I live about 10 miles from what was the Rolls Royce factory in Crewe (now Bentley). I am assuming that in the 70's they were built over here and shipped to you?

After pumping the brake pedal until my leg was dead only one of the lights came on. The light turns on when the test button is pressed and I manually grounded the sensor to confirm the wiring was ok. So I guess I need to add rebuilding or replacing the hydraulic pressure sensor to the todo list. For sure that is critical to replace, when you lose hydraulic pressure you completely lose brakes.

My 44 y.o landrover has a brake failure valve in the brake circuit (its a rod with seals on that is supposed to move and close off one circuit in the case of an issues). I had a brake line failure last year and it didn't work and i lost all brakes rather than keeping half of them which would have been less scary.
Turns out it was just stuffed full of crud so a £5 set of o rings and a clean up and it was good again.
I would strip every hydraulic pressure valve; and the shuttle/failure valve if it also has one and clean them up and fully test them.
