Re-assembling Clayton Dewandre brake master cylinder that is part of the Air Over Hydraulic brake systems on a Bedford SB3 Bus. Brake system is possibly similar to and used on TK and TJ and many other Bedford models.
Gidday mate, love your vids - much easier than just going by the old service manuals. Have a KGL TK and want to strip the servo and master cylinder. Do you have a contact in NZ for the rebuild kits? Have found a servo kit on ebay, but no luck for the master cylinder yet. I haven't tried Lance Cryer yet. Cheers.
You could try www.toresleeve.co.nz/ they have done a lot of bedford brake cylinder re-sleeving over the years. If you give them the bits they are good at matching it for the seals but this is generally done when re-sleeving the bores. The air booster servo seals are likely available from seal specialist providers like www.sealinnovations.co.nz/ but you would have to spend some time searching there part lists and ensure the material or rubber type is compatible with oil. Its a bit of effort trying to find this stuff, Lance Cryer my be the best start as a one stop shop, he has likely already have a supplier he uses. Good luck with the TK.
Thanks for your reply. I've managed to track down a rebuild kit for the servo on eBay. I haven't stripped anything down yet and will contact re-sleeve nz for a price on the master cylinder. The original Bedford service manuals make for pretty dry reading and don't have many photographs so your vids make it a helluva lot easier, especially your tips. Thanks again, much appreciated.
Hi there, any chance you have an email so i could shoot you a few questions about my 67 comair? Has had a 330d put in, the air lines are not hooked up, currently has a single out which is illegal i think these days, i have diesel booster to go in, just wanted to make sure im on the right trac. I appreciate your work, thanks for the vids
