Hi Hanno,

Apologies for the late response, been a bit busy recently. Having read the conclusions on the differences between C30 and C60S chassis, I have to add that certain C30 chassis were actually fitted with brake booster systems, although it's NOT shown in MBC1 or 2, nor is it mentioned in the parts catalogue!

My C30 LAAT (20/08/1942) has the following :
  • Small 5" knuckles
  • 11 leaves in the front springs
  • 12 leaves in the rear springs, + 4 helper springs
  • Brake booster and additional riveted brackets on the chassis.

I have to say that the brakes work really well on stopping 4.5 Tons of Chevy.
I'm sure Rob Fast in Canada has a C30 of a similar year, so maybe he can verify the above info.

Best regards
Keith
