    Pinion brake?

    This is the knowledge I love getting.... Obscure references that no one would think to check until someone pops up and says 'hey, check this out'...

    Pinion brake?

    It's my understanding the dual master from the AF A2 uses a bracket that's unobtainium, and the cylinder itself is hard to come by. I'm not opposed to other options like a completely different hydraulic master.

    Pinion brake?

    Thank you. I think I need to get a brake pressure gauge and map out the pressure vs pedal location. I hate reinventing the wheel but I'm looking at all options, and a more reliable air/hydraulic 2 circuit master cylinder seems like a good research project.. There is a formula for calculating...

    Pinion brake?

    Anyone know, off hand, the nominal and max PSI of the braking system on the deuce?

    Pinion brake?

    Would there be a safe way to tee that into the existing system? ONLY for parking brakes/emergency brakes, bypassing the air system? Applying pressure directly? It'd kinda be like brakes with no power brakes, you'd have to stand on it....?

    Pinion brake?

    I'm seeing 1000PSI air/hydraulic pumps.... Would having an emergency reserve air tank whose sole purpose is to actuate that pump, work? Pressure is usually ~1200 PSI on the chevy calipers, isn't it?

    Pinion brake?

    Look again. It only uses a caliper from a 3/4 ton....

    Pinion brake?

    Found this while trying to find lockers and other rockwell axle parts. https://diy4x.com/product.php?productid=17698 So, how would you get the fluid pressure needed? Is this a viable solution for a parking brake or even possibly as an 'oh #%(&' brake? I figure anything is better than...

    Found some facebook tips on installing A/C ..... I think it'll be my next project..

    Upgrading/replacing fuel line

    The absolute lowest pressure rating on the lowest quality stuff is 300PSI, with most being ~1k PSI.. So even going cheap (which I wouldn't), nothing would prevent me from replacing both the air and fuel lines with AN-10... A 1/2" air line would be a big upgrade, heh. It would also allow me to...

    Upgrading/replacing fuel line

    From what I'm seeing in the TM, it appears that the fuel line is 3/8.... Which is equivalent to about a AN-8 line. AN-6 would be 5/16 and AN-8 would be 7/16... Would there be any issue going to an AN-10 line, which is 1/2"? It would seem the increase in diameter would be relatively negligible...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I love the custom work, but would it have been easier/cheaper to get a pre-fabbed box and just add to it? https://www.amazon.com/Safety-Technology-International-STI-EM111103-Protective/dp/B018NQ76ZO

    Someone disagrees with you, he articulates his position; and your response is personal attacks that have no foundation or basis in reality? C'mon now. That's not cool.

    'no guns/live ammo' That's a big 'nope' from me.... if they can't support the constitution, they ain't getting my support either.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    'on its own right'.... flag always marches forward... so, stars forward, on the right side of the vehicle, as if you're driving it.

    U.S. Flag goes on the right...and other flags should be below it... ;)

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Please don't use wingnut terminals. The proper military terminals are better in every respect, easily available, and inexpensive.

    2 things... 1. I hope that's not plastic. 2. I hope that's not a CH751 keyway.
