| 840282 | 2009-12-18 22:32:00 | I have vacuum booster its about 1 foot dia 18" long for brakes on my camper. It used to have a petrol six in it I have put a diesel six in it so the only vacuum for huge booster is from little vacuum pump on alternator. Effectively going down a big hill like Mangamukas there is no vacuum left and COF brake test machine the vacuum has gone burger at idle through leaks in the door opener and booster. I have spoken to the experts about it and they say just man up and push harder on the pedal Great set of experts you have there. Hope they are all in the camper when you aren't "man enough". |

| 840284 | 2009-12-18 23:15:00 | I might change the brakes to air boost as the new engine has a compressor on it. Not sure whats involved cant be too hard. Think about that and discard the idea fast. Compressor, regulator valve, compound valve(s), treadle valve, service tank, e-tank, oil separator, air drier, Velvac SL-4 switch, low-pressure alarm LP3, PP-1 dash control valve, PP-3 auto-trip valve, Velvac 60/40 valve, TP-5 protection valve, MV-3 dash valve, RV-1 pressure reduction valve, R-7 pressure modulating valve, at least 2 R-8 valves, D-2 air governor, E-6 dual-circuit brake valve, SR-2 spring release valve, RT-4 multi-function valve, 4- Velvac In-line check valves, QR-1 quick release valve, LQ-4 limiting/release valve, 3-Way pilot valve, assorted air lines, plumbing and connections - then we get to the backing plates, the servos and the spring brakes and the shoe cams, followers, slack adjusters, shoes and drums. It might be a project when you become the King of Upsidedown Land and can get your royal subjects to install and pay for it all. |

| 840285 | 2009-12-18 23:34:00 | Thought I would check the yanks advice out rfn I have already put in airtank, gauge and unloading valve for air to the airbrake from an abandoned truck. Just rung Bedford God told him info from Surfer Joe and the Bedford God said Surfer Joe doesn't know what he is talking about. All I need to do now is take off the vacuum booster and fit airbooster from TK Bedford goes straight on make an airline from tank to booster. Gauge and warning buzzer are not required for COF because its not true air over hydraulic its air assisted foot over hydraulics. Which seems fair because you dont have to have a vacuum gauge and buzzer do you for COF. He is sending me booster on Monday $250.00 said it would cost an extra $10 for 2 brass fittings, tee and a piece of plastic tube. Who do I believe Surfer Joe or the Bedford God who has been doing only Bedfords for 45 years?. |
