    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    No they where not. This kit did not have the correct size of the special "wheel" seals and the "check valves" were missing(cannot remember their proper name right now). Also the seals themselves where just rubber, not "EPDM" seals like our Air force Deuces have installed in them. Mailed it back...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    I knew that didn't sound right ! I should have said "EPDM" seals. I've been on this stupid "30/10" diet (loose 30Ibs in 10 weeks) for three weeks now and my mind has gotten fuzzy lately. No fats at all. I know your suppose to have natural fats to keep your brain working properly and "olive oil"...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    Well I went ahead and bought this kit. It is the wrong one. Not only that but it doesn't have all the parts shown in the picture and the seals are "not" blue silicone like pictured. I contacted the seller after buying it and ask what was up here. He told me that "yes the seals are all just...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    You would think with that many applications this Master Cylinder would be everywhere, but the truth is those where limited applications. Most Fords or Chevy trucks of those years and that size used "air brakes" . Try and look up the Master Cylinder and you will see what I mean. There are some...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    No, but they are getting extremely hard to find. The vehicles that used them are few and far between, so the supply was limited when they where new. At the transit department we had one "mini" bus that used them. The bus was an extreme failure and all where returned to the manufacturer. It had...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    I knew you would still have your hand on the pulse of these master cylinders Aaron ! For all out there looking for master cylinders, Peashooter is the one to check with. He got me the three I own now. I don't remember if I ever publically thanked you Aaron, so here it is. Thanks Aaron for all...

    1988 Air force deuce brake system rebuild

    You have the same master cylinder as my 1988 deuce has. The seals are all readily available from any "O" ring supplier that sells "Viton" and "silicone" seals. "Peashooter" (Aaron) has a great write-up on this on his "brake" information post. The only seals "not" readily available are the two...
