    Looking for seats

    bunch of brake line questions

    the people at Memphis are great. I needed the short brake shoes for one wheel and was thinking I would have to buy the long ones as well, but they sold me just what I needed. They're in my M715 favorites file from then on!

    bunch of brake line questions

    well, the CNF lines proved to be too soft to flare properly, so I switched to steel line. Got perfect flares and managed to bend the line close to the original. After a few leaking fittings were tightened up and a TON of air was purged from the system, the brakes work great. Now I need to...

    Cap Screws for Brake drum!

    Hye guys, I needed new caps screws to secure the brake drums on my M715 and found some great ones. No slotted head but a 7/32 hex. They're black oxide coated and fit perfectly. I need a dozen but was forced to buy 50, so I have some to spare. Anybody who is interested can PM me.

    bunch of brake line questions

    I could probably use your magic as the bends running to the wheel cylinder are rather snug. I bought a tubing bender and flaring tool and am only waiting for the line to arrive. it is CNF line which I have learned bends very easily. still, I plan to go slowly and meticulously the whole time...

    yes. I learned that too. and never, never, never, use compression fittings.

    bunch of brake line questions

    here is the bend near the right rear brake. really tight access thus the short fitting also probably why the fitting got so boogered up

    bunch of brake line questions

    No offense taken. Safety is premier with me too. I have been researching brakelines, flares, and much more. I only wondered how the single flare got into my truck in the first place. the double flare end looks pretty good but the single flare end looks a bit sketchy. I spent a bunch with JEGS on...

    bunch of brake line questions

    I am going to try to reuse the brake line I removed by cutting off the bad fitting and installing a union. I also plan to make a new stainless line just to learn how.

    bunch of brake line questions

    The line was far too clean to be original. a bunch of repairs and mods were made by previous owner and the lines and hoses all look very new and match the military materials and coatings. That's why I think the are NOS.

    bunch of brake line questions
