This is the knowledge I love getting.... Obscure references that no one would think to check until someone pops up and says 'hey, check this out'...

It's my understanding the dual master from the AF A2 uses a bracket that's unobtainium, and the cylinder itself is hard to come by. I'm not opposed to other options like a completely different hydraulic master.

Thank you. I think I need to get a brake pressure gauge and map out the pressure vs pedal location. I hate reinventing the wheel but I'm looking at all options, and a more reliable air/hydraulic 2 circuit master cylinder seems like a good research project.. There is a formula for calculating...

Anyone know, off hand, the nominal and max PSI of the braking system on the deuce?

Would there be a safe way to tee that into the existing system? ONLY for parking brakes/emergency brakes, bypassing the air system? Applying pressure directly? It'd kinda be like brakes with no power brakes, you'd have to stand on it....?

I'm seeing 1000PSI air/hydraulic pumps.... Would having an emergency reserve air tank whose sole purpose is to actuate that pump, work? Pressure is usually ~1200 PSI on the chevy calipers, isn't it?

Look again. It only uses a caliper from a 3/4 ton....

Found this while trying to find lockers and other rockwell axle parts. https://diy4x.com/product.php?productid=17698 So, how would you get the fluid pressure needed? Is this a viable solution for a parking brake or even possibly as an 'oh #%(&' brake? I figure anything is better than...
