THANKS!!!
Now I will wait for a kind steelsoldier to measure his deuce. No rush, I am still working on the rear suspension and then changing the engine trans..so alittle while to go!!
Good Point.
OK, lets see how I can make my idea work.
Questions:
1) Are treadle valves linear? i.e. 25% movement = 25% flow, 35% movement = 35% flow etc.
2) I looked at the tms for the M105 and the only test was holding for 2 mins at 60psi and the M35 compressed air unloader test at 120psi...
Yes, EXACTLY!!!! I was completing a sentence I thought I had typed as you were replying! The air would only be for towing through the glad hands.
PS I hope your hand gets better!
Hi Rusty and all,
On my M135, I am going to be using a hydraulic brake system utilizing a Hydro-Max booster and master cylinder from an International. This in turn will be piped to the Ford F550 calipers to stop the Ford B700 rotors. The rear I will still use the M135 4 wheel cylinders (2...
I guess could plumb the outlet side of the airpack back to the remote reservoir, but it would be awfully clunky affair.
If I don't find the Bendix valve, I will probably mount a treadle valve actuated off the brake pedal as the lightest and easiest move.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Rusty,
I will back up and list what I have, then my ultimate goal...
On my M135 I have acquired the following:
B700 Rotors
F550 Calipers
HydroMax master.
I will be keeping the 4 15306 brake wheel cylinder brakes on the rear as stock.
Ultimate goal...
HiYa Rusty and all,
I researched the R-14 hoping it would lead me to a lighter option that the air pack and I think the easiest option for me would be a Hydraulically piloted air valve, but aside from a mention here and there I have found no part numbers or full discription...do you guys...
Here I was trying to figure out some kind of switch on the pedal for trailer braking....so simple Thanks!
PS Tim at Precision Brake is real busy and had promised a master made up for me, called weekly to check progress, I gave up after a month.....:(:(:(
