Snail's pace Blitz rebuild

Ryan · #1 28-09-13, 02:04

Hi all, I have a F60 with the ARN of 53627. Does anyone have more info in regards to this truck?

Also, just on the macs website.
I cannot see a listing for rear brake cylinder kits in the 1 1/2 inch size. Has anyone got a source for these?
And are these:

they are brake linings, ok for blitz brake shoes?

ok, the 1 1/2 inch brake kit has the modern part number of f3634 according to the modern cmp number thread. Is this an online thing only or can they be had at say repco or the like?

Hi Ryan,

I obtained my wheel cylinder cups at Bayside Brake and Clutch in Frankston.

I had written to ABS a few years ago and they informed me those sizes as used on Ford Blitzes are still available off the shelf hence I just tried my local brake shop. Sure beats hardened years-old NOS rubber. Part Nos are Rear- A725 and front- A857.

Cheers,

Jacques

Jacques, you can probably buy them also in a 0.004" or 0.007" oversize as well.
As your cup says "use with expander" I hope you have them as well.

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for that info. Yes I assume the expanders are the thin steel backing plates. If so I have them, Front NOS, rear not perfect but usable I think. Have heard some say they are not needed but if the original ones had them its good enough for me to use them too.

Anyone have 4 x NOS 1-1/2" Rear expander/backing plates? Never saw any in any catalog.

Cheers,

Jacques

Cheers Jacques for the heads up. I'm heading into town today so I will go visiting some brakes shops.
Thanks Keith, looking forward to seeing if my number is present in your lists.

I don't have my detailed copies of the relevant pages handy but the range 53603 to 53640 has a lot of Ford CMPs including F60L Stores Binned, Workshop, F60S Water, F60L GS with winch, F15 GS Canadian.

Will check when I have them accessible.
