    I would love to see some pictures of the linkage for the dual mc set up. I am trying to weigh all my options, and it seems like the linkage could be a nightmare trying to set up? Anyone have pics of this?

    Any idea if the deuce uses residual pressure valves to keep some back pressure on the drums? if so, what weight are they in LBS?

    The only reason I'm thinking of doing 100% braid is cost and ease of installation. The lines will be free, so I'll give them a shot. Less connectors, no bending of tubes. Aviation grade hydraulic line is spec'ed to swell less than 1%. They are filled with kevlar weave and then wrapped in...

    Understood Chuck, thank you. I am just going to "assume" that these hoses will out perform anything designed for the road since they were designed for the flight control hydraulic system of a helicopter and the specs I have found far out perform anything designed for the road. I'd use somebody...

    I have a guy that does hydraulic work and said he'll fabricate up full stainless steel braided lines for my deuce. I checked the specs and they are 6000 psi brake lines. also, I checked the stretch factor on those and its only 1.7%. I am going to have him make me a full set when I switch over...

    Thats another problem I've run into, I want to find a large vacuum assist for 4 wheel discs, but still use my drums. I figure between a dual diaphragm booster and using one meant for discs will help create the pressure to the wheel cylinders while still using drums from a larger system at the...

    I hear you about the psi...however, almost all the other ones I looked at were in inches of mercury, not water, and not mm. I was just linking those for examples, not the ones I found to actually use. 22-24"hg seems about the standard in hot rod vacuum pumps. I actually found two relatively...

    I'd love to be able to use hydroboost, but I have no idea where I'll mount the pump itself, since the slot above my generator is already spoken for. any ideas?

    Anyone have any idea what the largest vehicle on the road to use vacuum boost is? I want vacuum, not hydro for ease of installation. A lot of diesel are hyro because diesels dont normal pull a decent vacuum. BUT, I am going to install a separate vacuum pump. all I need to do now is find out...

    I dont know about you guys, but I actually thought my idea for this was pretty straight forward. Two parts, re-plumb some brake lines, fab up a brake pedal, and done. Now these may not be the exact parts I'd use, but something similar enough would absolutely do the job. Tuff Stuff 2124NB 9"...

    I'm just brainstorming here guys, try to be gentle if I'm totally off base, but why couldn't you use a medium duty truck MC along with its vacuum booster can and then get an electric vacuum pump. If the power is cut, for whatever reason, I assume the check valve on the booster would allow you...
