I would have to ask the Dutch DoT if I can include this in my system. Problem is, in the EU, ANY change to the brake system has to be registered and approved. If not, in case of a brake-related accident, the insurance company will say that we made not-approved changes to the system and as such...

So fuses exist for pick-up trucks (to give them their real name), for forklifts and knuckle cranes, and for airplanes. Ferro, do trains use hydraulic velocity fuses? Somehow it should be possible to use those existing fuses and fabricate them into something that is strong enough for a 5-ton...

OK, I'm awake now (remember, I am across the pond from you people). It actually was my own thread on how to split a brake circuit on a 5-ton. Ron (73M819) actually came up with the hydraulic fuse idea (post 15). Such fuses are standard issue for all types of aircraft: Hydraulic fuse or...

I think we discussed something similar with Ron (73M819) 5 or more years ago; airplanes use valves for explosive pressure loss. No time to find the post now, there was a reason it would not work on a 5-ton, not sure what it was. If I understand correctly, what you are suggesting is a bit...

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...

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).

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...

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...

I would like to know how that works out for you, if possible with lots of pics and engineering remarks like connection to power steering pump, effect on power steering while braking in corners etc etc. It is one of the options I am still looking at to make our 5-ton safer but I did not find...
