Thread: Brake upgrade on my Bloodbox

Here is an image of the said adaptor, it is I believe a standard brake fitting metric<>imperial

the male end of the brass fitting is metric 10 x 1.0 & the female end is 3/8"UNF.
I have bled most of the air out (I hope) and adjusted the shoes so they are dragging, either tomorrow or Sunday I will have another go at it, cheers Dennis

After taking 3 of the 'Poodle Patrol' for a work home visit as the residents love dogs and are always asking about them and ??WHEN?? am I going to visit with them, so I knocked that over this morning, that was the end of the morning.
After lunch, I run my compressor up until the safety valve lifted then shut it down, rigged an air line, and with the good wife helping and the Vacuum brake bleeder in action, I'm happy ATM with the brakes.
The vehicle is going to the 'All British Day' in Newcastle late July, so I checked over a few items, connected the rotating beacon and give the system a quick run

it still works, I'm happy about that, the only faults I found were that the heater fan & blower didn't work, I'm suspecting it's just the fuse that will need to touched/moved and away they will go, anyway that's been my day cheers Dennis

Here are my brake tools mate
first the 'Rigid' flaring tool

and the 'Record' tubing bender

hope that's of some help, cheers Dennis.

G'day Dennis,

Thanks for the photographs and the confirmation of the model numbers. I had the Record pipe bender correct and did not know which of the Rigid's flaring tools was the one you had. Rigid make quite a few different models.

Now to file this information in my Word document under Series 3 Brakes & Clutch.

Kind Regards
Lionel
