Wanted: M135 Brake Booster Rebuild Kit

[rob love]

I'm not sure about your numbers. The Canadian parts manual gives a NSN of 2530-00-691-8631 which then gets superceded by 2530-00-846-6241. The GM number for both kits is 2297689. My manual is dated 8 Nov 1976.

Your part number of 2283351 does not show in the index for the Cdn M135.

Neither of your part numbers show in the Canadian catalogue of material, although these was a NSN of 2530-00-741-0844, although it shows no data.

Below are some other part numbers for the 00-846-6241 part number. Of interest is the first number as it is an International number. I would not hold my breath on any of these kits being available at your local NAPA.

Note that on the numbers below the first five digits are the NSCM (manufacturer's code).

31007 147711R92
89346 147711R92
92679 147711R92
23862 2297689
24617 2297689
14892 376037
24617 376037
73160 376037
19207 8331890

The museum here did send an airpac to Niagara military sales about a decade back, who sent it to a rebuilder somewhere around there. I think the rebuild ended up costing around $600 if I recall correctly. For that kind of money I would suggest picking up one of the more modern ones from the MLVW/M35 and plumbing it in.

This is the manual for the deuce

Very early manual...neat.

Note that they refer to a serial cut-off for the kit you list: serial 1699 seems to be the cut-off. It may well be that the deuces after that number had a slightly different model of airpac, so over time they may have dropped the early kit and early airpacs. There is no reference to it in my 70s manual.

Hi everyone.

RE: the little coil spring shaped like a mini-x-mas tree

Yes this spring seems to be missing from all the kits I have seen/opened.

I have one spring as a sample.

Rob, where did your friend find a couple of springs?

Thanks

Dan
