that is only on the stock deuce. almost every hyd brake vehicle out there has a pressure switch int he master cylinder that indicates a pressure imbalance between the multiple circuits. for the deuce atleast one person has done a remote reservior setup with a fluid level switch that turns on a...

mine was somwhere around 130 calendar days

sounds like your problem is more specificly to not liking the deuce brakes, due in part to your bad experience with them, not so much with hydraulic brake systems. it would be a lot easier to upgrade the deuces hydraulic system then to convert to air brakes.

price i saw from 09 was about 380$

Cylinders in series works but need to be double rod where the rod end flow of one cylinder matched the cap end flow of the next cylinder. You do have to incorportate a method of being able keep them full plus have a way to resynchronize them when seals start bypassing. You can handle this by...

Yes, the M35A2 had two standard sizes and the A3 had one standard size.

I don't see a mechanical linkage working on an articulated deuce tandem. there is too much movement that would misalign the wheels. if you are worrying about points of failure then adding rear stearing on a tendem is not something you woul want to do because you just tripled the points of...

it's not two circuits - it's one circuit with two cylinders in series. They are completely linked unless there is a leak or air int he circuit. the only slop in the system will be at the tie rods and other pivot points. which is no different than with seperate or mechanicly linked systems. It...

that 250 is the worst case scenario for price IMO - it's also really hard to find surplus 20" tires in other countries but 22.5 are available at any big rig tire shop. it's mostly for increased wheel and tire options. also, I already have some 11x20's mounted on 5 ton rims that I'd like to...

springer seat has a shock and room for an airbag. would be an easy upgrade with a mini pressure regulator to control your ride height etc by replacing the lower spring with air.

Yeah I've wanted to include an integral lip for keeping it hubcentric while mounting. I've seen some of those wheels with the larger hub hole. Seemed like they weren't as common. they would be easy to make though since they clear the stock 6 bolt studs.

without even getting a good deal - I modeled up what chucks makes and got a quote from e-machineshop for 200$ per wheel then add 50$ for 10 studs per wheel. thats half of what chucks wants. (e-machineshop is convenient - but not cheap)

I've seen those before but chucks trucks wants 500$ per wheel - no thanks it certainly is the most simple option http://chuckstrucks.net/images/parts/partimages/6to10lug.jpg

looking over the clearances. if the rear hubs are flipped then there should be room to just bolt the plates on from the backside.

Napa search turned up this one for 5/8" hose http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?R=BK_6601140_0069256228 and this one for 3/4" hose http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?R=BK_6601441_0069256509

just to be able to go back to stock I guess... but the additional cost of the other options is probably going to overcome that desire and I'll just do option1. I've got all the hardware picked out and would just have to get someone to make the plates. come to think of it. going back to stock...

because the best way to attach the adapter doesn't allow you to put the studs back in later - it's permanent. that's really the only drawback.

Option 1 is probably the strongest as it is just as strong as welding a new 6 hole face into an existing wheel. the 6 original wheel studs are the limiting factor on the strength. options 2 and 3 use the spacer to prevent a bending load on the studs and keep it as a sheer load. the 6 original...
