Hello,
Your pictures look identical to my forklift truck. I still have the Id plate riveted to the engine cover. Im up the yard on Wednesday so I'll grab a picture.
I have done the brakes on mine. Replaced the master cylinder, new brake lines and freed up the handbrake linkages. The manual adjusters at the bottom had both seized up so rebuilt it on handfulls of copper grease.
Also had the fuel pump pack up from dirt coming through the filter. I now have a new filter housing, electric lift pump instead of the mechanical one. Starts on the turn of a key now. I replaced the steering rack as the seals had gone, and it's now good as gold and in regular work.
Parts came from a chap towards Coventry who used to fix these things. I haven't got his contact details anymore but I'll see if I can find the old receipts.
Cheers
Rich
