    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    On the drive home I just realized one trade off going that route. I know it's not often used, but the airpacks can have a air supply plumbed into them to make towbaring the deuce easier. (It's a add on to the line at the airpack, so it's not factory) The dual airpack route would allow for...

    The official 2022 Southeast Military Vehicle Rally buy-sell-trade thread

    I'm not sure if I'll get to get away next weekend. But I'm looking for a set of 395's for my deuce. I have a pair of lockers for a 5 ton I'd like to trade for them.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    I think I've decided the process I'm going to take. I was thinking about dual airpacks. That would make things "simple" when it comes to the trailer air side. But it also doubles the amount of air packs in the system which historically have been "problematic". Not to mention they're not...

    Patracy's deuce refresh and upgrade

    Been a few projects between, SEMTT, HMMWV, CUCV, Wrecker, Ferret. And others I'm sure.

    Looks to be mostly sand.

    Engine repair or swap to LDS?

    I'm interested in buying a set myself. I'd be up for reaching out to him to see what we'd need to get a group buy going. I can head up the group buy over here on the site too.

    Patracy's deuce refresh and upgrade

    So I've had this truck for a number of years. Honestly I stopped driving it around 10 years ago. But I've had it since 2007. Today I have had the body "dustless" sandblasted. And I've got it primed. The plan is to have @Spot_ll work his magic on it like he did my CUCV. There will be other...

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    I have two or three of those laying around. That was the path I was going to take at first. But I gave up on the idea. I don't like the thoughts of losing air pressure and having no physical connection to the brakes. Yes, I know in a air brake system you have no physical connection. But in...

    Question from a Newbie

    That is the vent line for the MC.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    I thought combination valves were more for a disc/drum setup? We're (well I am) keeping drums all around. And I I think these MC's are 60/40. (I'll have to go look again) So we'd actually want the 60 to the rears and 40 to the front. Due to the extra volume. I could be completely wrong...

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    Man, seeing all the work to make the bracket work, I'm 100% going firewall mount.

    How rare are M54s vs M35s?

    If I were to buy another large MV, I think it'd be a M54A2. Because it would be affordable to operate still with the LDS. But it would have power steering.

    Spin on filter adapter measurements

    I really haven't had any intention to do that. There's plenty of people out there with them on the shelves ready to ship. Honestly If I'm in these for $140. I'm not sure how they're making much of a profit on them at $200 shipped. I guess if I had ordered more material in volume it would...

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    Since it's metal, is there the four mounting holes for the resv. to the MC body like mine? You could make a metal lid and secure it down with all thread all the way through maybe? (You'd need sealing washers on the inside of the resv). Or maybe just remove it completely and make a plate to...

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    Yes, same one. But mine was in a very old napa united box. I think they went to the "tupperware" design reservoirs later on.

    Spin on filter adapter measurements

    Go ahead and get one. Buying a couple of lathes, mills, and a tractor have been some of the best "frivolous" purchases I've made. I'm not a master by any means. But I get by with them. Lotta reading and watching youtube for me lol.

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    The master cylinder showed up today. Doesn't match the photo. But I like this style better. Looks to have 2-3/8 of piston stroke. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    modern dual circuit air over hydraulic brakes

    I haven't been able to find anything like that? I did find this though, which is a hydraulic over air valve which would allow proportioning the air. https://www.mico.com/sites/default/files/document-pdfs/80460051Hydraulic%20Over%20Air%20Relay%20Valves.pdf I found a link on google under...

    Spin on filter adapter measurements

    Found this diagram for the spin on filter adapters made out of sheetmetal. Probably not that helpful, but it does give you specs on the key measurements. You can modify your adapter from there. I used 5" OD 6061 for the adapter plate. It's basically a cup on the underside of it. With a...
