We are very fortunate to have at our disposal here in the Ottawa area, some terrific specialist rebuilders, and in the case of brake and suspension work , we deal specifically with Malmberg Truck
www.malmbergtruck.com
They have an Historic Truck branch that can do rebuild and fabrication work on all kinds of vintage and hard to find / repair hydraulic systems
Our very first job that we sent to them 10 years ago, was the complete hydraulic system ( brakes, power steering and two full cross over Hydrovac systems ) for a T-17 Staghound that we were getting into running order for the Royal Canadian Dragoons Historic Troop . In case you were scratching your head on why two full systems.... the Staghound is a twin engine Armoured Car, and you can run both, or left or right !
The Staghound is still running strong today, and importantly, still stopping on a dime when it needs to
Fast forward to our M3 Project, and Malmberg once again rebuilt everything fast, and inexpensively !
Here are some reassy pic and the finished rear brakes
the last shot is a before and after of the brake cylinder to shoe pivots......
