I am posted 1 RCR and have comletely rebuilt the enitre brake system on more then one MLVW. I find nothing wrong with system. It may just be DND Politics to cover one rear end because technology has advanced since the truck first entered service.
P.S. I've help restore a M135 and many othe military vehicles with single circuit brakes, and drive them with confidence.

MLVW SMG bracket
Do either of you have the two SMG brackets still installed up and behind both seats?
I'm looking for one to fit to my M38A1CDN3. Better still, do either of you have a spare one that you'd be willing to part with? Of course I'll pay a reasonable price plus shipping (Ontario). I can understand your frustration Gilles. There are a number of PCCd, BLRd or any other VOR reason MLVWs sitting in the Meaford compound. I am not allowed to remove a bracket from these clapped out hangar queens which are soon due to be disposed.

I think where the single master cylinder system problem comes into play is that the MLVW was built in 82/ 83, at which time DOT standards were to have dual systems. The DND must have been exempt from that rule at the time, as we are with so many of the specialised vehicles. Technically, the MLVW should not pass a safety because it does not have a brake system that meets the standards of the year it was built in. Lighting will also be an issue since it does not meet SAE standards of the time, although there is lighting now available which will upgrade the older non-SAE approved mil lighting. Reflectors are also a tad on the skimpy side for a truck the size of the MLVW. The wipers and defroster would likely not meet the modern specs, but can be easily upgraded.
If you recall, the Iltis were also sold in a similar way at first. They were not certified by DOT, and there were shortcomings with the lighting systems on them compared to the required standards for the period they were built.

I'm after the SMG bracket (one piece, 2 rubberised clamps), not the two piece rifle brackets. Many MLVW users don't even notice that there are 2 SMG brackets mounted fairly high up on the rear wall. Help clear up my confusion WRT to the SB...first you say it's small, then in last sentence you say it's large????? Is it an F&F board?

I am also looking for the SMG bracket as one of my 'clamps' is broken. Located in Ottawa.

Gilles:
Both Clive and I really would like to get a response from you WRT the SMG mounts which you may be able to recover from your MLVWs.
