Thanks Gordon Looks intresting. Steve

Thanks for all the intrest Guys. Sorry to only post when I'm on the bum! You really helped last time. I got the new slave cyl. Works great now. But I just wondered if anyone has any knowledge of Garrison power steering rams? They were often fitted to a range of trucks as after market accesories I believe. I think the company is even still going but they just will not respond to my emails. I have a feeling the spacers are set up wrong in my steering control rod valve. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi 6X6 I just looked at the ebay link you posted. I could hardly believe it the cylinder looks very similar to mine. I have emailed him for dimensions, so fingers crossed, this could be perfect. Thanks again :thumbsup: Steve

Here are a couple of pic's (if I get this right):yay:

Thanks for all the help, & the interest guys. I will post a picture as soon as I can sort one out. It looks as if 'past parts' are the people to speak to, will try them tomorrow. Nope sorry 6x6 it would not have been this one. The guy I got it from had converted it to a motor home around '68 but he got it from a church who had used it for about 6 years. If anyone remembers the film Bus Stop with Marylin Monroe it is the same model as the bus in that film.

Hi everyone, I have joined the forum in the desperate hope of finding spares. I have owned an Ex-Greyhound bus for the past 20yrs. It Is a 1949 ACF Brill with a Hall Scott 790 cu.in. petrol engine. I believe this is similar to an engine fitted to an American amphibian vehicle. I am trying to find a clutch slave Cly. or one similar to it. Its a Bendix 1-1/4" dia. with a 2-3/4" stroke if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful. Also interested to know if any of you have come across the Hall Scott engine. It is a straight six with single overhead cam and a cross flow head, it 's mechanically governed at 2500rpm. I love the sound of it(when I can afford to hear it:-() There was a bigger version than mine produced around the end of the war which was factory LPG it would be great to find a conversion kit, trouble is I think it ran at about 8:1 instead of my 5:1 Regards Steve

Thanks a lot Guys especially Richard & Tony, for the quick response, I will contact 'Past parts' when they open. Sounds like the way to go. Just out of curiosity has anyone heard of the Hall Scott engine? I will post this on the American thread.
