Who can tell me how to measure the dimensions of
a BSP plug on the tracta joint of a 1940's
Daimler Dingo? It's 1/2 across the threads, is
this 1/4" BSP or 3/8" BSP?

1/4 BSP

Also,

Brake adjustment on an M35, the adjuster nuts on
the inside of the wheels, you turn them which
direction to snug the shoe against the drum? And
how far do you back it off? 1/4 turn? 1/8th Turn?

Adjust the brakes by turning the front shoe adjusting cam clock wise, to
bring lining into contact with the drum, until the brake drags slightly when
the wheel is turned by hand. Back off the adusting cam just enough to allow
the wheel to rotate freely. Repeat this procedure at the rear shoe
adjusting cam. turning the cam counter clockwise. Make both adjustments at
each wheel as uniform as possible. Repeat the operation on all other
wheels.
