Title: Bendix brakes
Post by: Big col on December 27, 2018, 20:58:52

Seasons greetings fellow AC er’s.

I have reached the point of building up the brakes on my 1935 16/66 rebuild. Sadly the copy of the manual I have is very poorly copied and unreadable. I would like to get hold of a legible copy. Can anyone suggest where to get one, I believe the club reprints only do the handbooks which don’t go into as much depth. My searches on the web have proved fruitless.

Thanks in anticipation,

Colin

I have managed to get a hold of some useful information through the VSCC. That along with the information I already have should be enough to complete the rebuild.

Have a happy and prosperous new year

Colin.

Great that you have got the info you needed - could you do an article for ACtion?

As it happens I am doing occasional reports on the progress made for ACtion.
I will see what I can come up with specifically for the brakes. Now is a good time for your suggestion as I plan to do the brakes next week so can make notes.

A very kind gentleman on the VSCC forum has posted a link on their forum which give a comprehensive article from an old Motor Engineering publication. It is acceptable through the Bertram Hill website in the Technical tab. It is far superior to anything I could do regards an article for ACtion.
Tried a link but not sure if successful. http://www.bertram-hill.com/vintage-and-pvt-information.html
