Louie Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hi everyone As restoration is getting on it's way on the crossley 4x4, I've stumbled upon a problem (probably the biggest problem actually). One of the rear wheels is missing part of the braking arrangement, it's the transverse cylinder which sits behind the wheel. A girling one. I've been looking for one for sale in the internet but with no luck. Does anyone here know of any for sale/know of any around? Looking forward to some promising info as I'm stuck without it! Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards Hi, The original fitment was Lockheed, according to my Lockheed book. The cylinders were handed and part numbers were 15490 and 15491, it lists them as fitted to War Office vehicles, 1939 to 1943, assume yours would be 30/100hp Tractor WD. Girling did produce similar cylinders, but you would need to check the threads on pull rod, both male and female as I have found some with UNF and also BSF.

Louie Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Hi richard Thanks for your reply. According to some of the original info I've got, the wheel cylinders are girling for the crossley 4x4 load chassis. Maybe the Lockheed type you mention will do the job, I'll do some googling Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recollect having to do this on an early 50's Dennis fire engine many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 I've googled your Lockheed codes and it's not come up with anything. Looks like this missing cylinder could be a pain! Louie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
