I have disconnected the arms from the motor. Motor works, but the bars (arms) are stuck.

Here it is.

You can easily disconnect both arms from the motor to see which or both are stuck. See drawing from Bullett. You remove that entire assembly from the car by taking off the nuts on the outside of the car and motor. Then it might be possible to free up the arms using some penetrating oil or similar and slowly wiggling the levers each way.

i see you have your list of things to do ....tick them off as you go its a great achievement and satisfaction ...getting it all together took me ages still doing it cheers davo lets know how you go on the wipers

anyone got a spare rear vision mirror here is yet another bellett lover chasing bits who is going to help ..I have a few bits who else will put up a hand come on guys remember the saving the marque

I believe I will get the mirror from Finland.

But another problem has came up - can anybody tell me a spare part serial number or code for the brake cylinder (inside the drum) gasket. It is impossible to search it by measure. I'm sure the same gasket can be found on other cars also, but the problem is finding it. If anyone has a part number, it would help finding it.

How are the bits you seek going ? This is the brake diagram. Do you mean the the wheel cylinder as in 17 on front and 42 on the back. Let me know I will douce the part number for you

Here is the front brakes

Here's the rear

good luck ...next ...I know they are compatible with some cars in Australia

Thanks.
What I need is detail number 20 on the front brake diagram.

I believe it can be found on other cars, but it is impossibe to find it from spare parts database by measures. Some serial number or part code would be really helpful.

Tomorrow I'll go check in a hydraulics shop, they thought that finding it by size would be possible.

I will have a look at my old ones tomorrow morning in my shed cheers davo looks like a rubber cup ??

It's a gasket between the cylinder and piston.

Hi here's another photo it's a piston cup.

I am not sure about the term, but my problem is a leak from that "cup". Need to replace it, but of course it's not possible to brake repair kit for Bellett, so I need to find a replacement.

Let's see what the hydraulics guys say.

I have asked a couple of the belletters what will fit waiting for a reply ...also on ebay there are sunbeam rapier/Hillman minx parts for sale item 222682066646 or check these guys in uk for bits www.powertrackbrakes.co.uk cheers davo they may be able to advise

Ebay.com.au

how did you go with the brakes ,water bottle, rear blinkers,etc cheers dave I have some of those bits ..in my mans shed let me know I may list them I have my last bellett now ..

Brakes are still missing, the hydraulics guys couldn't help.

Rear lights I will get from finland.
Water bottle I suppose will be replaced with a tank from some other car. I think I will add an electric pump. Maybe later go back to original system.

Turn signals, wipers etc work for now.

Biggest challenges to go are:
1) Cleaning, protecting and covering the bottom
2) Building the muffler.
3) Gearbox oil needs to be changed.
4) The engine - I don't know what surprises it has for me. It doesn't start without adding some brake cleaner straight into carburettor. Previous owners have said that the engine smokes badly, I'll see about that. I suppose there are two main possibilities for smoking - piston rings or valve guides.

Well done keep at it cheers davo and teardrop survives
