G'day all, after replacing all my brake bits (mastercylinder, all brake pipes, wheel cylinders etc.) I find I need a brake drum or two - so if you have one or know anyone that may please let me know. One more thing that may be important to anyone restoring an old van the replacing of the brake pipes is so important as I was tossing up wether to or not glad I did!! the main pipe was so pitted with rust it could have blown at anytime (especially when you don't need it to like going down a steep hill or when someone props in front of you!!) the main pipe in question lays in the bottom of the "C" section of the chassis & is covered in dust, dirt 'n gravel which creates mud to keep the pipe wet encouraging the rust for longer. The pipe I replaced I mounted it in the top of the "C" section so it won't lay in the mud anymore. My van has been undercover for the last 27 years & not used but still the main brake pipe was was so pitted from the rust! BEWARE! regards, norm, 041 9990888
