Can anyone tell me where I can find a master cylinder and brake cylinders for a 1969 FX4D understandably they are all seized as the vehicle has not moved in over 12 years, any help would be appreciated

A friend of mine in America bought it, it had been stood on the Disney set for 12 years, he has done some work on it, got the engine started and it drives but the brakes are shot.He is hoping to get it running to use in Florida.

Yes, apologies, I mean the very suggestion that you might not have moved in 12 years. :roll:

Not moved since the Illuminations maybe, but 12 years would just be taking the pish :lol:

They were a Lucas Girling part from memory.....

I found this site which may be of use;

http://www.powertrackbrakes.co.uk/parts.html

You could call Infirmary Street Garage in Carlisle (01228 538913), ask for Nick (my brother) he might have some old stuff still, although I think he might of got rid of it all.

You really need a part number, Nick might have some old parts books....again, he might have thrown them too.

regards

All I'm saying is that it was brand new when I bought it, but not so new now. And it's a saloon, not a PB, WAV or bus :wink:
