Parts collecting continues....getting close to starting all this.
Anyone have any spare clips that that hold the throw out bearing to the arm?
It will be a 2F with steel arm v the cast F arm. Not sure if that matters.

Circled, circle the globe with Drumbrake- Cars....curious, curious
In which radius do you circle?

10 Jahre runterwegs im Hanomag - runterwegs
Heute vor genau 10 Jahren haben wir unseren Hanomag A-L 28 abgeholt. Damals dachten wir ja noch, dass wir damit innerhalb eines Jahres nach Südafrika fahren werden und ihn dann entweder dort für Urlaube stehen lassen oder ihn wieder verkaufen. Uns wäre im Traum nicht eingefallen, dass er uns so...
Water crossing. After that you will notice some loss in braking or no braking until the water runs out of the drums.
You have to brake them dry.
Can also happen after intensive cleaning the underside with a water spray gun.. take care!
Continue driving slow with your left foot on the brake pedal and the right on the accelerator pedal for a while until they are dry.. absolute important.
Oh Lord ... sorry.....you have nothing learned !
All the prevoious owners of your car lived and braked with drums and it worked all year long (who did the service )..strange.
Back to the Can.
Last year they changed Can´s brake fluid. After that they had some trouble with the brakes can happen if you do it the first time.
I got a mail, wrote back, explained a bit, they thanked. After that all was ok with the brakes ... driveable... driveable..
And my business is ... No not a blue collar business... I´m still in the white collar finance business.
Saturday July18, 2020 The Red Can ( don´t know if you have seen the pic) .... driveable.

My drum brakes were actually good but I regret the time as well as the money I spent on them. I think I spent about $1000 on materials to completely rebuild them. I’ll keep these axles to the side in case I need to rehab another E-67 truck
I drug the Goat out of hiding this am and gave it the first bath of 2020. Washing the nasty off for a family photo and a position in the shop

Front went in pretty easily. One thing the lift allows you to do is install the fixed end of the spring. Roll the axle in place. Attach shackle and lift it up and then bolt it up. Solo install 6 weeks after neck surgery. Not gonna mess that up.
One thing I did not foresee before I got the axle in place. The PIG axle I used to build out the front has the upper pads and in order to use the @lcwizard 4Plus flip kit I had to cut all that off. Wish I had thought of it before the axle was in. All good now. The passenger side just needed some grinding versus the drivers side being totally cut off and ground smooth
Off to do some reap occupation “work”
Back on the heavy ass rear springs tomorrow
