anyone know where I can get a 2 ft hose 5/16 goes from the master cylinder through the cab to the 5/16 line that goes to the brake booster.all the auto parts store's and hyd shops do not carry a 5/16 dia.hose. They only carry 1/8 dia.hose. and I am also looking for the rear wheel cylinders. Mind are in bad shape. Thanks for any help.

 

Welcome to FTE.

As for the hose, you are probably going to have to expand you search for a hydraulic hose maker. Diameter could be slightly larger as long as the fittings are correct.

Wheel cylinders can be found at NAPA, but you need to find a store where the people understand that the truck world does not end at the F350.

How are the drums? While wheel cylinders can be had, drums are almost impossible.

Your master cylinders for the clutch and brake are odd-ball set ups, and must be filled from the back side....if what I've seen is correct. You can search that out when the time comes.

 

thanks for accepting me to the large truck forum.


I had a Hydraulic shop make me a 2ft hose, but it is only 1/8 inch hole size. will this cause a flow problem? they had 5/16 line on it from the factory. I am still going to check out some hydraulic hose shops to see if they have the right fittings for this brake hose.


Thanks, I found the wheel cylinders at NAPA. the drums are in good shape.


The master cylinder is the odd one that you lift the boot and fill. does anyone know if you can buy a master cylinder are get it rebuild?

Thanks for the schematic of the brake system.

I am looking for the front wheel drums for the truck. Also the spring kit. Does anyone know where I can get these??

 

What size are the front brakes, 14 x 2 1/2; 15 x 3 or 16 x 2 1/2?

I doubt anyone offers a spring kit for a C series, springs sold individually.

 

Sorry I was out of town.

The brakes are 14 x 2 1/2
I did get the springs and clips hold owns for the brake shoes. one of our auto parts stores had some spares parts.
