dual brake system A3 vs A2

[CARNAC]

On the late model A2's they had a dual master cylinder. Is it the same set up as was used later in the A3's?

What manual is the late model A2 brake system covered in? I checked the last version of the parts manual and don't see it.

Same master cylinder but on one the reservoir is remote mounted. The TM for the M35A2 is TM SMARPI 9-2320-209-14 & P and is on the old site which is down, I have a copy on CD if you need it. This is the part numbers

Mod order

There must be a Maintenance Work Order (MWO) or other instruction (Depot level modification??) that has the detailed parts and mdification work detailed on how to do this modification. I'm guessing an MWO tag would have to be added to any modified truck to alert maintenance folks that the truck had been modified. Page 1-2 is missing from the attached SMARPI which may have referenced this modification publication. Also the usable on code section (page F-5) of the SMARPI lists usable on codes for the M35A2 w/ winch, M35A2C w/o winch, M35A2C w/ winch, M36A2 w/o winch, M49A2C w/o winch, and M50A3 w/o winch (indicating that an M35A2 w/o winch would not have been modified). Does anyone have the detailed instructions on how to do this modification?

PS

PS I've got an early 80's M35A2 w/o winch and the mod was not done on this truck.

Hey CARNAC I just bought an A3 MC off of ebay. It's exactly the same as the '87-'89 A2's. The only difference is the fittings that goto the remote reservoir.

 

[CARNAC]

Cool, the fittings would be the easy part. I figured it was about that simple.

Thanks all for the help.

Memphis has the master cylinders. You will also need the mounting bracket for the m/c and some small components. You'll be better off finding a parts truck to rob everything from. (I'd try CSI).

It was never a MWO. From the research I have done, it seems the only trucks to get the dual circut brakes was the later 85ish on up USAF trucks.

Memphis a few years ago had the Dual MC and perportioning valve.

Years ago I bought a truck out of Ft. Stewart that had the dash mounted warning light and the parking brake switch installed and a copy of the SMARPI TM in the glove box. I don't think anything under the truck was done, but at least one was started. Wayne
