    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    If you would do something like that, I would try to keep the two master cylinders as close as possible together, less tress on the pedal modification. But as mentioned by Rustystud, you might run into problems. Adding newer is probably easier to get certified. With a 5-ton, it's probably...

    Official 2018 Ga. Military Vehicle Rally info thread. Oct. 17-21, 2018

    I am just organizing a conference and found out that it is actually quite easy to use a google form as registration for whatever. The nice thing is that it automatically sorts it in a downloadable excel file as well. I normally stay very far away from anything google or facebook, but this one is...

    How much can a 5 ton tow?

    For the M39 dump truck, the highway numbers are 22 000 lbs empty weight, 20 000 pay load, 30 000 lbs towed, makes a legal allowed GVW of 72 000 lbs. For off-road, this would be 47 000 lbs. This is more or less the same for the other M39s; the M52 tractor has a lighter empty weight and 55 000...

    roll call of EXISTING Vietnam gun trucks

    What always wonders me is that there is not much protection for the tires. I know weight is a problem and human protection is way more important, but some skirts might stop or deflect at least a few bullets making it possible to get the heck out of a mess.

    That jeep on the left looks awfully familiar to me, don't know why. edit: why do I see the images in the quote when writing the post, but not anymore when posted? Can anybody change the attachments back to real images?

    What brake fluid are you using for hydraulic brakes?

    I agree, just don't know where to get it yet in Europe; waiting from some answers from the Netherlands. USA shipping is crazy expensive.

    What brake fluid are you using for hydraulic brakes?

    Just a quick hijacking question. Do the 5-ton and deuces have the same diameter fixed lines? When redoing the air pack on our 5-ton, I had to cut the tube coming from the slave cylinder. Turns out that this is a 10 mm tube diameter, and all I can get here are up to 8 mm (for normal cars and...

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    His master work, the 50 ft by 20 ft double gate with side wings, symbolizing a lathe. Took 3 years to complete. Look at his website under "mondra gate" (I should update that site, its over 10 years old mostly).

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    Not sure if he can make them out of aluminum, but you are looking at pure solid high quality steel. I think it these are actually built out of two pieces welded together since he did not have the power hammer needed to make it out of one piece (not sure). With the big steam hammer active, he can...

    Dual Circuit Brake Engineering Thread

    I see that this bracket discussion is still ongoing. Don't have time - mood to go through the entire thread again but how many pieces we are talking about and estimate for max price? My son does special blacksmithing orders for all kind of historic things, especially small order sizes. Below...

    We could use that thing here in the Czech Republic; lots of swamps and shallow but very big fish ponds. They have easy access to get in the water: all of them have ramps that are used when harvesting the fish. To make sure you understand what I mean, about 25% of our area is watery; river...

    Way to tell members.

    In that case, let's check if somebody actually tries to use it illegally :recovry4x4: Although after these replies that's not very likely. Unless a bot is capturing it.
