Thanks Richard
What is the easiest way to get to the master cylinder, from the top og bottom?
I have found that I am missing a rod that goes across the top of forward part of the engine compartment just behind the radiator.

no way near snow yet its 13C here.

I had a chance to measure the brake drums, they are 15 inch high and the braking surface is 2,5inch roughly ( I could not get the drum of)
From what I could see there was nothing inside the drums.


Is it possible to find a new wire guide/D towing eye? otherwise can any one take some closeup picture of one so I can recreate mine.
At the moment there is a normal one bolted on top of original one.

Default Winch Fairing Info

Hi Niels

Take a look at the photo from the parts book, note that the top and bottom shafts and rollers are the same part numbers. So you should be able to fabricate a new lower shaft based on the top shaft.

Bottom shaft was missing on my Patter 12 as well.

Looking at my log photos from restoring my Pat12 C60L it looks like the brakes front and rear are the same basic units so when you disassemble one of the rear brakes you should be able to check to see if the parts are interchangeable then you can start hunting parts based of an comparing to the rear. I have quite a few fairly hi resolution pictures of the front and rear brakes if you would like I can post them.

Cheers Phil

Default front towing clevis

Niels,
Here some pictures of my front towing clevis (D-eyes) left side.
GM was using a pin with round head and a washer with cotterpin on
the underside.Ford was using a hex bolt with castelated nut and cotterpin.
Hope this help.

Default Mix of Chevy and Ford Parts

Hi All

I forgot to mention that the parts break out I posted for the front Winch fairing was Ford. But my Pattern 12 C60L is of course a Chevy, CMPs are often a wonderful mix of parts both some of this is from swapping of parts for repair purpose but much of it is as built. In a what today would be rare cooperation between manufacturing companies FORD and Chevy seemed to swap parts and more important manufacturing capacity back and forth, to get the job done.

Cheers Phil
