CBS reporting 155 MPH winds. Cat 5 starts @ 157 MPH.

Tornadoes also being reported south of Orlando.

Not good. Took a sharp turn and landfall is expected near Cape Coral.... 110+MPH gusts expected w/ 20' storm surge.

Revised estimates show direct landfall in Tampa, downtown including the hospital is expected to be flooded... Now expected to land as Cat 3.

That plate looks like garbage, IMO. 'Surplus'? Really? TX looks better.... :D

Just a friendly reminder to keep yourself safe and know the limitations and maintenance requirements of your equipment. Test your generators, know deep water fording techniques, know the maintenance required when water goes over the axles, check your vent tubing, etc..

FRP or some people use corrugated galvanized roof sheets.

I call it 'learning to speak dumb@$$'.. Because you're bound to run into them, and you gotta speak at their level, in a way they'll understand.... :ROFLMAO:

I guess I'm answering my own question but, it seems like I can find M35s every day and twice on Tuesday, but searching major sites like Facebook and Craigslist found me ONE for sale in the entire country. Were not as many manufactured and/or surplused?

No doubt. My experience is anecdotal, of course.... Just saying I personally had good luck with it. Project Farm wasn't around back then ;) For my application, it was mounting emergency vehicle equipment (sirens, light controllers, radios,etc) on the back walls of F150s and F250s which can't...

I used liquid nails construction adhesive for adhering wood to metal all the time. These were mobile applications for on and off road use. I found out during removal it was easier to just leave them in there as the wood would break before the adhesive did.... I'd be pulling out slivers of wood...

As usual, I tend to overthink things... Realistically, in my opinion, with modern greases, any grease I choose should be better than what was around when the deuce was manufactured, but that's not always the case.... So, I'm looking at bearing grease.... and the options are endless.. Lithium...

Gates 33398 should be added as thermostat. Gates 33602 should be added as thermostat housing seal. (Courtesy of M37M35)

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'...

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.

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...

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

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....?

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?
