Hydrolastic handbrake

[rolesyboy]

Does the quadrant go under or on top of the radius arm. Can't remember and looks like underneath but wanted to check as convinced they differ from dry set up. Also I presume the spring and washer goes underneath between quad and radius arm. Any advice appreciated as putting it together today. Aargh. Nothings ever simple

Here we go, brake pipe not quite the right shape or material at the time.

Thanks Glen, here is a taster, I will put up the finished saga soon hopefully if 'Satan would stop vomiting in my cup' ! Gray.

How have you guys found the little clip that holds the quadrant in place. I built mine up but the clip doesn't instill me with much confidence, one tap and it pops off.

One of the Forummembers MINIFOREVER sells them NOS pn 21A1513, and their cheap!

Great thanks!

Sorry to hijack the thread but do you guys use and rubber grease on the area under the dust covers on hydro units, or do you just build them up dry?

I treat mine with cavity wax and make sure the drain hole in the boot to the bottom on the rear displacers. Some boots didn't have a hole, not sure if that is an early/late/repro thing so always add one.
