Thom on my 77 the 1 inch are on Ford backing plates that are just the single wheel one ton Ford stuff 73 to 85 12"by 3" shoes. The wheel cylinders are United...
Lyle, My '65 Chevelle had self adjusters that worked when I backed up and stopped. The FN has a cable to the rears that works astart wheel when you use the...
Got the coach back on Thursday and the brakes are in business again. Just another part number for the growing database, the master cylinder on my coach is a...
Hooboy, here's a shout out to the mechanics of the group... I took a rear drum off today. There is apparently not adequate 'travel' in the wheel cyinder...
Try Miguel Mendez in Upland, CA for the CV boots etc. He seems to be familiar with the Revcon and GMC systems. Thom ... From: Eric Conklin <elc32955@...> ...
Yes, has the cable that pulls the lever that turns the wheel that tightens the brakes shoes adjuster ... stopped. The FN has a cable to the rears that works...
-Eric, I just got CV boots from MM and the steering shaft boot along with all the clamps and 4 tubes of high pressure grease. I believe the total price with...
Could the drums have been turned so far OS that they have too large a dia.? Could the wheel cylinders be the wrong style for your backing plate? Could the...
Thom, I have been trying to picture your backing plate and what your shoes could be getting caught on. There is generally a flat area cast and then machined...
... OK, sorry everyone I misread the earlier post when I searched. Figured MM deserved a public apology. I could maybe see a complete CV joint for $1K, but not...
Thanx guys, for the ideas. Stan, "When the brake pedal is pushed firmly the cups should be blown out of that cylinder if all is well in the hydraulic part of...
Thom, From what you discribe I agree with Lyle, sounds like the rods are too short. With the cups getting to the end spot you definiely have enough cylinder...
Another turn in the road to perfectbrakeville... Sitting there looking at the right side rear backing plate, glanced across to the left and saw a lot of...
Good Luck Thom, I have learned during the past year that absoluely nothing is simple when it comes to the Revcon, or inexpensive. Stan 88 king ... From:...
... Thanks Dave, forgot about the database. However, another entry that I found begs a question. I was pulling suspension part numbers to give to the shop next...
Found this on a Craigslist browse, this is a 1984 Prince that the owner is parting out. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/rvs/900431890.html Let the feeding...
Another thing to check is the shoes where the ram fits to them, maybe they are the wrong design for your application?? Can you find any pictures in the...
A 1-1/8" is larger than the 1" that most of us are using. I think that should help the rear braking unless you run out of master cylinder capacity. I don't...
Lyle, No pix available. Everything looks fine except the rods don't push on the shoes but about 1/4" (guesstimation while sitting here at the computer). I am...
Righto, Stan. The only end-of-tunnel-light I see is that I actually still enjoy solving problems with the old gal! Thom PS I mis-spoke last email, the...
Thom, Those numbers do sound familiar. I have really enjoyed bring new life back into the ole gal. Frustration got to me a couple of time but that's all...
Eric: I did the A-arm bushings and tie rod ends right at 36,000 miles. It made a huge difference in taking out the wandering. I believe my bushings were from a...
I must have missed the postings when the Data Base was set up. Thanks to all who are adding info. I'll find my receipts and add what I can. Dave: Is our...
That is exactly what I was thinking. Being that there is not absolute info on what parts go where, it very well could be that someone replaced the pads with...
The database has some errors in it on the ball joint info, so I wouldn't trust what is posted, other than the H1 - because that was mine. The K680 will not...
I've had a very similar experience with compliments on the old gal. Just look around...the RV industry took a wrong turn starting years back, as far as I'm...
Found another questionable entry in the database. I called Rockford CV to cross-reference the BT-136 entry for the CV joint boots. Well, according to their...
