I'm interested in buying a set myself. I'd be up for reaching out to him to see what we'd need to get a group buy going. I can head up the group buy over here on the site too.
So I've had this truck for a number of years. Honestly I stopped driving it around 10 years ago. But I've had it since 2007. Today I have had the body "dustless" sandblasted. And I've got it primed. The plan is to have @Spot_ll work his magic on it like he did my CUCV. There will be other...
I have two or three of those laying around. That was the path I was going to take at first. But I gave up on the idea. I don't like the thoughts of losing air pressure and having no physical connection to the brakes. Yes, I know in a air brake system you have no physical connection. But in...
I thought combination valves were more for a disc/drum setup? We're (well I am) keeping drums all around. And I I think these MC's are 60/40. (I'll have to go look again) So we'd actually want the 60 to the rears and 40 to the front. Due to the extra volume. I could be completely wrong...
If I were to buy another large MV, I think it'd be a M54A2. Because it would be affordable to operate still with the LDS. But it would have power steering.
I really haven't had any intention to do that. There's plenty of people out there with them on the shelves ready to ship. Honestly If I'm in these for $140. I'm not sure how they're making much of a profit on them at $200 shipped. I guess if I had ordered more material in volume it would...
Since it's metal, is there the four mounting holes for the resv. to the MC body like mine? You could make a metal lid and secure it down with all thread all the way through maybe? (You'd need sealing washers on the inside of the resv). Or maybe just remove it completely and make a plate to...
Go ahead and get one. Buying a couple of lathes, mills, and a tractor have been some of the best "frivolous" purchases I've made. I'm not a master by any means. But I get by with them. Lotta reading and watching youtube for me lol.
The master cylinder showed up today. Doesn't match the photo. But I like this style better. Looks to have 2-3/8 of piston stroke.

I haven't been able to find anything like that? I did find this though, which is a hydraulic over air valve which would allow proportioning the air.

I found a link on google under...
Found this diagram for the spin on filter adapters made out of sheetmetal. Probably not that helpful, but it does give you specs on the key measurements. You can modify your adapter from there. I used 5" OD 6061 for the adapter plate. It's basically a cup on the underside of it. With a...
That is what I thought as well. I mean, on tractors you also have the trailer brake control valve on the column to allow you to modulate the rear brakes. It just seems like full apply on any braking could lead to some unsafe trailering.
I think I've decided how I'm going to go about it now. I was considering the air brake canister. But I'd have to really redo the air plumbing to do that. Also you really get into needing to separate tanks. Since I'm really only looking for a way to get better brakes, I'm going to go with the...
Click on the upgrade link at the top of any page. (Only from a browser though, if you're using tapatalk, it won't be displayed) Right now it's on sale for only $10 a year.
The residual valving is more for the lower MC mounting height from what I understand. Mount the MC up higher on the firewall and it wouldn't be needed. I ordered the last MC they had as well. It appears the difference is actually a safety switch to light up the brake light in the event...
