Fairfax County, VA (just outside Washington, DC) confirms your assessment that antifreeze may be send down the sewer drain (not the storm drain) because it is biodegradeable.
One other comment on changing antifreeze. I changed the stopcock for a Fumoto elbow joint valve. This particular valve allows me to attach a hose to the elbow and run the hose to a drain pan prior to opening the valve. I now can change my antifreeze without spilling it all over the garage floor.
I believe this is the valve (but if you want to follow this advise, double check the thread size and pitch).
F302L - Elbow Joint Oil Drain Valve 18mm-1.5 | FUMOTO
The L-type Fumoto Oil Drain Valve has a 360 degree rotational capability, detachable elbow joint. This allows for connecting a hose at every angle. The position of the elbow joint can be fixed by adjusting the nut between the valve and the joint. *Not recommended for low ground clearance engines.

i use reclycled recipients, usually the 25 liter ones, i cut them in halves and use them sparingly, the part that keeps the mouth is very useful as you can then use for droping into smaller cans
those 25 liter recipients are thick plastic so they keep the shape well under wieght.
i will move slowly here as i have opened another “box” for some other adjustments,
my radiator has a micro pore and needs a repair, while i am there i will ask the shop to add a thread for an electro fan switch
also the carbs will be given a check and re-tune prior to synchro
and the valve gap adjustments are easier when you have access to the cranckshaft front nut from avobe

Planing to do this complete process. please help and feel free to contribute it will involve: 1- VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT 2- IGNITION 3- CARBURETOR TUNING AND SYNCHRONIZATION 1st- VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT 10 N.m is the torque that should be applied to the securing nut...

time has come to put a new steering fluid reservoir,
tip, do not attempt to remove the hoses while the reservoir is in the car, cut them in length to remove and prepare them outside

well it is done,
a renewed reservoir,
a renewed reservoir,
some eye candy, repaired and painted this some years ago, but never found a moment
and oil filter ready,
found blue books procedure, 20N.m

moving on,
so finished the oils, as diff and gearbox, lateral holes for filling in and level, let it drop to a proper container, and close using new washer for diff,
this is the mixture with ceramic additive, @Luis A.
poured engine oil, 5,5 liters, used a new valve cover gasket and put the cover on, closed in the torque specs and pattern
install the carbs back and made new fuel lines...

Thanks, Jesus.
The strangest thing about your great posts, for me, if your hands are always clean. It is a sign your engine is spotless. Must be a joy to work on it.
you are welcome Drew, stay safe
i agree that i enjoy a lot when i just make the replace and assembly part, you can do with clean clothes and clean hands,...look at the new or cleaned bits that you are using, check your notes or the books, clean tools too, that is nice !
nonetheless there is always a starting process called removal, that is a completely different story, i really dislike that part
thank you John for heads up

Are these the same as your stands, I often find I can’t get my current stands where I want them because of the shape of the legs interfering with the wheels /tyres so what you have looks perfect.
Aluminium, 4.5 kg and £60 in the U.K. which is about euro 65 today but soon £60 will be about €20!
The wood with hole drilled for the diff plug is a great idea, I will copy that idea tomorrow

yes, similar ones
adding coolant, 12 litres
will recheck fluid levels as i.e. empty oil filter
need to bleed coolant and steering fluid
need to bleed coolant and steering fluid
a word of advice when refilling an empty steering fluid system and garage temps below 10º (obviously celsius)
first attempt, simply fill in the reservoir, and start engine, bleeding was unsuccessful, moving the steering wheel resulted in pump almost stopping the engine
so all down out again and refill, this time slowly pouring the fluid while manually moving the pump pulley, then levelling using only the starter motor, and finally eninge on and warming up the thing,
success
....p.s. read and do what the manual says,...always
