Peakrec Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The brakes are hydraulic with standard brake fluid to the front pair of wheels with a cylinder behind the towing ring for operation. Also a slave cylinder mounted on the front wheel station pushes a rod that is part of the main radar centre section, thus forming a rod system to the rear, which also has a rod and cup assembly to release the rear wheel assembly. A hand brake lever works on the rear wheels for parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi Peakrec, Your info on the brake system is interesting as I recall a self sealing coupling on the front bogie of the one that we had in for tidying up and repainting. Maybe there was a modification to some of them as sounds different. Going back nearly 30 years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peakrec Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Will get some photos, just got the brake system all into bits as seized up, but is a simple idea but well thought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
