    DEUCE BRAKE LINE REFERENCE GUIDE (Sizes, lengths, fittings)

    M35A3 MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT Here are some options for master cylinder replacements on the A3 dual circuit deuces that are still available as of 2024. These will be high quality and have the correct casting, 50/50 split, and guts, but will come with a plastic reservoir that you need to...

    DEUCE BRAKE LINE REFERENCE GUIDE (Sizes, lengths, fittings)

    A nearly exact replacement for the 1988 airforce deuce is the Dorman M39477. It will be the same with the only exceptions being the reservoir will be labeled Dot3 (but dot 5 can be used since seals are EPDM), it will have slits in the reservoir cap seals to act as the breather, and it wont have...

    👍, stick with the hardlines as you probably discovered. I’m sure hard lines are superior to any style of flexible line, except for the obvious need of flexibility in some areas. It sure would make install easier if we could use it everywhere, but brakes would probably feel mushy.

    The MC bracket has the winch lever capstan cast right into it... if you had the bracket already it doesn't get any easier to add the winch lever since you just need a single bolt. Here is the page of the TM that shows it.

    You are right that its saved in the native Solidworks format but as long as you have some 3D cad you can open one of the formats on there. I saved the files in a few universal formats that any 3D software can open (Step, iges, parasolid), its also saved as an "e-drawing" that can be opened with...

    good stuff! The parker hoses wont be DOT approved but thats probably not a concern in your case. DOT approved stainless braided hoses have a plastic jacketing on them so dirt doesn't get in the braiding and wear away the inner teflon hose. All fittings are also permanently crimped/swaged on...

    Peashooter stainless steel braided brake hose parts reference I'm no longer selling the braided brake hoses since the manufacturer has become unreliable with ship dates and parts availability. Since many folks still would like the option of getting braided stainless steel brake hoses, I've put...

    Their is no great rebuild kit available for the DUAL CIRCUIT master cylinders like there is for the single circuit ones. The only available rebuild kits are like the picture below that include some seals and a C clip. O-rings are EPDM. The repair kit that will fit the dual circuit 87-89' trucks...

    Its Tee'ed to both through a checkvalve on the drivers side frame rail above the spare tire area. Its on pdf page 44 of this TM HERE. You can find the check valve's cheap on ebay, its usually a Bendix 278614 DC4 (I replaced mine earlier last year). Its also mentioned in the TM for the M35a3...

    So besides the standard 1-3/8" bore wheel cylinders, and the larger 1.5" diameter wheel cylinders used on the front axle of the M35a3 trucks, there is also a 1.75"diameter wheel cylinder that may fit (it may be a little too fat though and possibly rub against the shoe return spring. I'm not...

    I just threw out my set of donor lines so I don't have any pics I can share. From your picture it look like you used a longer line there, it should be a 12" line. There is a 27" line that goes from the air pack to the tee fitting on the frame, maybe you used that line instead? Ke5eua- I only...

    Thanks for the info Brian, I'll add that to the top posts.... I agree that it's nice having a common location for all related items like brake part info. About the springs, the ones with pigtailed ends act as cup expanders to help prevent the cup seals from leaking fluid out or air in, so...

    I updated the 2nd post with the 87-89 dual circuit specific line length/fitting info. I dont have any line length info for the m35a3 trucks yet, if anyone has overall lengths for the lines let me know and I'll add it to post 2. I know the fitting sizes for the a3's just not the lengths. TM for...
