    M8 Greyhound brake help

    The Hydrovac in the M-8 is the single line series two . So, it's set up right right. That's the same setup as the !/2 track. The one in the M-20 is the early series two with two lines, smaller, with less psi to the wheel cyls. The only thing I can say is that the Hydrovac is stuck at the vacuum...

    M8 Greyhound brake help
