    There is an additive for air brakes, though don't know the name. I'd pack straw bales round the vehicle up to the level of chassis if it is left for a while. I did this a number of years back now with a disiel Land Rover. that was waxing up. A couple of hurricane lamps left under it, solved the problem.

    Don't worry about literaccy, just do yopu know one of a spanner from the other? As for computers, most of us if you can't hit it with a hammer, or turn it with a spanner can't cope with it anyway.

    A Dalex on a budget? Seriously, it appears to be a sismic device. Either a detector, or an active device to detonate mines.

    Dodge WC51

    Tony B replied to Keito's topic in American Vehicles

    The shoes need setting with a feeler gauge. There is a slot in the hub to allow you to do it. If you haven't got a manual, Military Media CD No 1 007742-1 has the full service manuals and a lot of other intresting stuff. The fitting you need is 15 mm internal down to 8x 5.5 pipe. I got mine from the local plumbing supply place. Take the master cylinder cap in. The clearnce at the bottom of the shoes should be 0.006 thouh, the top of the shoe 0.012. Turn the adjusters inwards to decrease clearance outwards to incresase distance. Hope this si of some help.

    Dodge WC51

    Tony B replied to Keito's topic in American Vehicles

    A bvit of advice. The brakes on the Dodge can be a nightmare. Get a presure bleeder and some gas fitting redcures to fit the master cylinder. A pice of 8 mm pipe will join the tubes nicley.

    Come on in mate! Always room for another re-eanctor in the mud.

    It is a Shorland, the APC version was Hornet, if I remember correctly. A lot of Land Rovers of this type seem to have ended up with CNN or BBC.

    Details might help mate! :-D By the by gave my Onan a real work out on Sunday, driving a 110volt, through transformer, nine inch grinder. Worked it OK.
