I agree that a weldment is likely the best way to make this in the safest fashion for the lowest cost and in the low quantities that realistically would be needed. A 3d printed jig is a great idea and having the printed bracket will let you verify that everything important lines up right.

Good thinking with the 3-way valve! I should have done that.

The switch just pushes into the hole. There are some fingers at the end of the switch that hold it in place. Its just a 2 pin switch and when the fluid level is low the switch closes and completes a path. So you could run a wire from one pin to ground and the other to your existing dash "Brake"...

Something I've found with the remanufactured MC's is that they usually replace the original reservoir with a Chinese one which works out nice because they have the magnetic float inside of it so you can add a low fluid switch to that D-shaped hole on the bottom center of the reservoir. The...

The MC bracket has the winch lever capstan cast right into it... if you had the bracket already it doesn't get any easier to add the winch lever since you just need a single bolt. Here is the page of the TM that shows it.

The setup has worked really well other than me overfilling it once. I like the simplicity of pressurizing the tank to make the fluid move through the filters rather than an electric pump. The gauges i have on it are 30psi. The regulator to pressurize the tank is set at somewhere between 7-10psi...

I dont recall what it is. I got it iff without a puller, and remember there being a good method for doing it without a puller from gringletaub.... i cant remember what the method was but add his name to the search.

Also its the same boot used on the A3 trucks. I've bought some off ebay a few times. Here are some pictures...

Its the length of the individual lines from the T-block.

Yes, there are about 3 master cylinders still in production that work well for this. One is identical to the 87-89 trucks but it uses custom tube nut fittings so not ideal for a retrofit, one is a remote style similar to the a3, and the other is is a reservoir type unit like the 87-89 trucks but...

You are right that its saved in the native Solidworks format but as long as you have some 3D cad you can open one of the formats on there. I saved the files in a few universal formats that any 3D software can open (Step, iges, parasolid), its also saved as an "e-drawing" that can be opened with...

CAD File for Master Cylinder Bracket 87-89 DUAL CIRCUIT MASTER CYLINDER BRACKET. (The only unavailable part needed to retrofit a single circuit deuce to a dual circuit 1987-89 Air Force truck style system) (The below info is copied from the following post in order to keep relevant brake system...

CAD File for Master Cylinder Bracket Well Clinto was able to obtain a new Dual Circuit Master Cylinder Bracket. We modeled it up in 3D CAD....and then ran out of time to put much additional effort into the project for the time being. We understand that this is a complex shape and not something...

use the "make an offer" option on ebay. I had bought a TF550 for $175 shipped not long ago, they were asking $500. A lot of sellers including myself acquire items very inexpensively if not free, and then try to sell them for what they should be worth. Many times items are hard to sell because...

There is a 20x11 Hutchinson 22 bolt aluminum MRAP rim out there that will fit with an adapter. They were coming out of GL for a while with the 366/80r-20 tires. I think the rims had 22 outer bolts with plastic caps on them. Im sure i have more info somewhere but am on my phone so its hard enough...

Here is a link to what I was doing before with the bolt on adapters (non-MRAP). I nicknamed it the "multi-fit" since it would fit the 20 bolt fmtv rims as well as the 2 different 5-ton combat rims that had 10 bolts holding the rim halves together...

Be carefull with the Led route. They arent all as worry free as we tend to think they are. Many of is have had lots of problems with them and short lifespans. Read this before spending too much money on the LED project anyway...
