I am restoring a amusement park ride from the early 60s.It is a Thunder Alley Car,That would of run on a paved road ,It had a 5hp briggs.It used a small auto or golf cart rear end with a backing plate attached to the pumpkin and the brake drum bolted to the yoke it used a 1 inch wheel cyl I need the wheel Cylinder.Anyone ever worked on one or know where I might find parts.I have tried matching it up with a old timer at his parts store with no luck.

 

Wow, sounds like a fun project.

I've never seen that set-up but, instead of trying to find the complete wheel cylinder could you possible scavenge the correct parts out of a wheel cylinder rebuild kit to repair the one you have?

who knows, it might work

I have no words of wisdom but almost anything can be repaired /rebuilt with enough tenacity and imagination . Could we please see some pictures .

 

Yes, you've opened this can. We gotta have pics!

 

Perhaps EZGO carts could have it in their old parts catalog?

 

Would this work? ****** Jeep Parts, Restoration & Wiring from Walck's 4 Wheel Drive | Front Wheel Cylinder 1952-59 CJ3B, CJ5, CJ6, M38A1
****** Jeep Parts, Restoration & Wiring from Walck's 4 Wheel Drive | Repair Kit Wheel Cylinder 1" Bore

 

First I never learned how to post pictures on this site,Maybe I will have to try.I did find a company in Utah named Arrow,They tell me they made this ride up until 1972,The last time they had requests for parts was 1989.They said the original brake parts are no longer avabile,But they would look for build sheets and other information and send me copy's.I thought that I had found a cyl from a 50s nash or 63 jeep that would work,but after getting it ,no go.I have sent the original cylinder to my brother, that runs a machine shop and he called tonight a said he was able to repair it.I will try to get some pictures up.I want to get it up and running for the next truckstock.In case Docs kids need a new ride.

 

Test

 

The pics have to be uploaded somewhere on the internet first. Like in your gallery or to Photobucket.

Try this...


Go to http://photobucket.com/ and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

 

I've had three generations of EZGo carts. They are all cable operated brakes.

Cushman maybe?

 

When you post, there are two options to click on, 'Post Quick Reply' or 'Go Advanced'. Click on 'Go Advanced'. Above where you type you can select fonts, size, bold, center, etc. You will see a smiley face and to the right of it a paper clip. Click on the paper clip. A separate window will pop up. Click on one of the 'Browse' buttons. You can then browse your computer for the picture file you want to upload. You can upload up to five. Then click the 'Upload' button. After a bit of time the files will upload. If they don't they are too large and you will have to make them smaller. If the upload is successful, you can upload another two for a maximum of seven per post. After the pictures are uploaded and you've typed your text hit the 'Submit Reply' button at the bottom of the page. Your reply with the photos will be added. You can then close the window that popped up to add the photos.

Or just follow Joes advice.

 

Is it like these?

 

Yes my car is like these.I found you have to be a paying member to post,and signed up for three years.Still can't post,and nothing about a tee shirt .I sent a note to mod,vatting to hear back.

 

I posted pictures using the Photobucket method I wrote about earlier for a year before I paid any money to be a member. And I put pics in my first post, so there's no restriction there either. And I have not paid for a 3 year membership yet.

So I don't know where you got any of that information, but it is all wrong.

 

Here is some more options. Including Joe's

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).
