Default Brakes

I agree with Phil, Gordon. If you are prepared to go through the entire original brake system and replace every rubber, brake shoes etc and have all the parts you should have... the brake systems on these trucks are very safe and work very well.

I completely refurbished everything in my truck (F60L Cab 12) and spent several days studying the manual in regards to set up/adjustments and learning how to get the booster working properly and I nearly sent myself through the windscreen... they can really work that well, fair dinkum.

The two critical things I found were correct brake shoe position when installing brake shoes with newly bonded brake pads and correct set up of the booster to achieve maximum vacuum assist.

I could blab on... but that'll do.
