I've got miles and points out the rear end or if you need supply's or whatever along the way. Theirs a lot of us that haven't donated anything yet and I'm sure we'd all like to see this through

We.... may have hit our first SNAFU. The brake cylinders that Larry bought for the rear. All four of them... are wrong. The existing ones look okay but Dave had been pretty adamant about having brakes.

djdanno13 posted:Dave says gently caress it. We're proceeding. I would recommend some sort of a rear brake circuit shutoff, so at least when it fails you can panic, flip the shutoff, and brake with the front wheels? (Or is there any chance a dual circuit master out of the van bolts to the truck, given GM's laziness?) Assuming you can find something like that in town quickly that is. If not, carry on and figure it out later. also, check your facebook messages...

Somewhere much earlier in the thread Dave posted a picture of the rear brakes and iirc they looked surprisingly intact.
|
# ? Dec 29, 2016 22:56 |

Yeah, but how did the bores and seals of the cylinders look? That's what's going to screw things over if they fail. A few decades of moisture accumulation and corrosion in the bore of a cast iron brake cylinder is bad news. Hopefully I'm wrong and they're fine.

Well, I imagine Dave's next post will be "rear brakes are hosed" or "rear brakes are functional." We'll know soon enough.

"Rear brakes worked too well, stopped rotation of the planet"

The existing ones look okay but Dave had been pretty adamant about having brakes. Any chance the bore diameters are the same and you can just swap out the new rubber bits and lightly hone the old cylinders?
