You may just be pleasantly surprised. |
Yes it is brass.

Spent a little time over Christmas and New Year working on the Prefect in the garage. Putting the fuel pump back together took a couple of attempts before it worked correctly off the car, but once it felt like it was operating with sufficient ooomphhhh I re-fitted it. Priming up took a couple of goes as initially it wasn't keen on functioning, but by rigging up a temporary fuel feed to run the engine off, with the pump's outlet disconnected, forced fuel through into the pump.
This and other tinkerings are covered in today's upload: https://youtu.be/SJhXN7ZcUiI

This afternoon was spent underneath the front of the Prefect, scraping & chipping away decades of caked-on mud. Not the best fun in the world but quite satisfying in a way, next little job I think will be to pull the front drums and have a peak inside. It'll also give me an opportunity to replace the rubber dust covers that protect where the brake cables pass through the backplates.

Progress continues on the E93A, the front brakes have been checked over and I also got around to replacing the rubber dust boots that fit over the brake cables, where they pass through the backplates. Various parts have been greased, and I also had a crack at knocking out a few dents around the front end.
Recent progress summed-up in today's upload to the OCC Youtube channel:
