    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    I was figuring to cap it off and now I know why. Thanks.

    Nothing wrong with that. Another good idea.

    White Stuff in my Fuel Tank

    Check with the local O'Reilly for bio killer. It is not algae but it is organic crud.

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    http://store.motiveproducts.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=motive&StoreType=BtoC&Count1=391445338&Count2=308585762 They have an adapter for the Tilton remote reservoir that I chose to use. It is on order. That is why I chose to use the small worm clamps to hold in the pressure.

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    What else does the vent line service? It is a T connection to the master cylinder cap.

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    I started to mount it in the cab, but I realized it was even simpler to mount it where I put it under the hood. Out of the way, works and I do not need a 7/8 inch drill and grommets to put it in the cab. My only concern will be the rubbing of the hose on metal. I probably will take a small...

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    Here are some pics of the reservoir and the installed reservoir. The first pics are of the medium reservoir unit I chose, top and bottom as assembled. I do not have the clamp installed between the reservoir and the mount at this time. Next is the master cylinder cap with the 90 degree bend...

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    That article is what got me thinking. That is the larger reservoir, I chose the medium. What the article does not show is the reservoir mount. That is what makes the install so easy. If you look closely at the picture of the installed reservoir you can see this mount even though the...

    Remote Brake Fluid Reservoir

    I am in the process of installing a remote brake fluid reservoir in the deuces. I think it needs to be done by everyone with a deuce. It is low cost the way I have chosen to do it and extremely simple. I have gone to Pegasus Racing for their Tilton 74 series medium reservoir, mount and...

    Air pack rebuilding question

    Go to Northern Tool or Sears and get a pack of the picks. Then take one curved or bent to the seal in the air piston. It comes out easily. Replace the seal as shown. It is easy.

    Anyone going to Ft. Sill soon???

    Really nice people at Sill. I usually enter on the Sheridan Rd. south gate. Close to GL. The vehicles are not at the main site. They are kept elsewhere.

    Brakes, A Puzzlement

    I have an air line, soon to be replaced with a remote reservoir. All the WC and MC were put in new last year along with new shoes, springs, Hydrovac and rubber lines.

    Brakes, A Puzzlement

    Thanks Keith. I went out pumped hard on the brakes and now they seem to be working again. Cups it appears to be. Fluid level was good. Oh, well onto the next problem with these things. I will have to see how and where it may be leaking, however.

    Brakes, A Puzzlement

    The air pack is a new shorty installed last year. But, anything can be bad I suppose.

    Brakes, A Puzzlement

    OK, the master cylinder was very low on fluid. Filled it. Pumped brakes to no avail. Looked at all six wheels. No sign of a leak at any wheel. No sign of leak around the MC. No sign of leaks around the rubber brake lines. No sign of a leak around the metallic brake lines. I have not...

    Parade in Denton, Texas

    Those are the mutts. We had the good looking ones up front.

    I wonder?

    Same idea. Different connections. I still wonder if it would not be easy to hook on a reservoir to the end of the vent tube. Seems much easier.

    I wonder?

    Has anyone used the breather tube to convert to a remote brake fluid reservoir? Just thinking. Might be very quick to do?
