Ok, the kaisers brakes needs the M/C plumbing in etc, so it makes sense to me that I skip fitting the stock one supplied and upgrade to the hydroboost unit, which would then allow me to have power brakes and power steering. However that is as far as my brain takes me. I dont want to many upgrades but this is def one, plus it needs doing anyway as I currently have no brakes.
As a reminder its a 6.354 perkins diesel engine.
Does birtys collective knowledge stretch far enuff to tell me what needs to be done and bought in a step by step idiots formula?
M715zone dont seem to helpful on tech probs :011:
The hydroboost is from here: http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=106056 (http://www.ifsja.org/forums/vb/showthread.php?t=106056)
Much appreciated :greggmo:

Kwik Fit?????...wonders off laffing...
-
Has the m715 got power steering to start with?
-
nope :icon_sad:
im thinkin an AMC V8 transplant could be the answer coz no-one seems to be able to answer me on any forum :011:

Had a google about your Perkins engine....... made the company sucessful.... one of the first high speed diesels and good in original trim for 120bhp and more as a turbo...... used in trucks etc.....
Couldn't find any torque figs but with 5.8 lites of straight 6 its gotta be good.......
Most googling will reveal it being used as a marine engine...... so no brakes.... :hysterical:
The key to a successful hydroboost system is the master cylinder servo/nitrogen canister assembly and the power steering pump.....various guys in the US do em......but all the good write ups and articles I have googled in the past are for VANCO....who seem to tailor make systems for the end user.....
Have you tried Perkins or any associated forum?
As a side note you'll never have spares or getting it fixed issues...many experts around me ......being 12 miles from Peterborough :icon_twisted:

hadnt thort of a perkins forum tbh
have woken with a lack of enthusiasm so im gonna put it 2gether in stock and then figure out what to do later, will just have to have shit brakes and build up some shoulder and forearm muscle to move 35's with no power steering :icon_eek:
on the plus side if its a marine engine i can sell it to Bish when i pull it out :003:
cheers Jez :greggmo:
-
or i will wake up re-invigorated 2mrw and start the search again
maybe even track down a diesel expert
there must be someone out there that can do it
bubba can but he is only havin baby trucks from now on

Fawk off you southern yokel... :hysterical:

why not take a look at the Isuzu 2.8, or 3.1 turbo diesel , they are very easy to wire in and give decent mpg as well, a lot of guys are fitting them into lardies and getting 40+ mpg cheap to source as well
-
Some alternators for diesels have a built in vacuum pump so you can can run a standard brake booster.
-
the alternator with the vacuum pumps on the rear need an oil feed to the or they will seize
best get an engine with one on

cheers Daggie, met a fella today openin up a 4x4 workshop and so he may get the job, just need to find out how to do it on the cheap coz the saignaw box is heartbreakin expensive
-
i would get the fucker rollin first you got years to spoil..i mean mod it
-
100%, have already started that ball rolling, but power steering has to be a close to the first job
I had a moment of friday when i was lookin at the kaiser when i was thinkin its lovely but what the fuck am i gonna do with this :017: and then i realised it has to be useable
-
if you drove it more, your arms would man up and get strong enough to spin the wheel or you can convert it to powering steering and keep ya girly ones malibu.
-
you are forgetting I have met you :098:
however, part of the thrill of gettin paid is that it allows me to make my life a bit easier
-
i just had a cruel but funny thought
-
yeah but pickin on panic is too easy so it should be reeled in as much as poss :003:
-
it was both of ya to be honest but its far to cruel and funny for putting in writing.................funny thing is i dont feel cruel or twisted tonight :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: i best keep it to myself
-
go for it.
-
:hysterical: nahh
-
you going all southern on me?
-
Im goin thru a moon phase of insecurity so can ya just slag panic off by pm and keep it gentle with me :087:
-
Isnt the saginaw box a standard one like is fitted to every Jeep and Chevy since the dawn of time?
-
TBH Dave i was thinkin of the AGR box upgrade. I got distracted in my head coz i was thinkin bout the Chief's future
-
m715 is very not the same i think i have seen it before
-
meaning ............. :017:
-
at some point there will be another thread about how do ya fix a motor to do the windscreen wipers (am i callin bigjeepzj ....... ??)
the fuckers have a handle that i have to move with my hands :icon_eek: how fuckin mad is that :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:
-
you could go mad with electricay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rain-Control-System-Car-Sensor-Automatic-Wipers-Switch-FIT-ALL-CARS-/140747022735?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item20c52d218f#ht_2740wt_1397) version
-
that would be pretty cool on a kaiser :icon_super: despite all that electrickery :003:
expect some inane questions dood
-
are you sure its not vacuum operated? and not electrical at all?
-
nah, unless im missin summink
it actually has the handles on on the inside of the screen to move them, fuckin cracked me and the boys up today playin with them :hysterical:
Old Iron :icon_super:
-
just checked they are 24v so remember that, you need to be looking at truck wiper systems or motors at least.

I'm not doubting you, because I know very little about M715s, but after a quick Google I found a couple of pages that seem to suggest that the wipers should be vacuum operated.
If you have a look at the bottom picture on this page you'll see the little handles - apparently these are actually vacuum motors too:

Here's a page that suggests that they should be vacuum:
http://home.comcast.net/~sday77/m715/index.htm (http://home.comcast.net/~sday77/m715/index.htm)
And finally, these eBay ad has two, and says that they have an arm for manual use too:

Sorry if this stuff is wrong, I'm just going by what Google tells me! :003:
-
yup god made them with petrol engines and vacume motors for the wiper and of cource 24 volt what else would they be for the army ?
-
Brynjaminjones dood, - i am unashamedly not interested in spannery stuff, so when i see wipers with friggin handles for me to use to move to get them to move, i use the 2+2=5 method :003:
when im sober i will check those links cheers
however if "god made them with petrol engines and vacume motors for the wiper and of cource 24 volt" how does that mate up with a diesel transplant?
-
it was a ground breaking engine but a bit crap not to mention thirsty on its way down low gearing enter stage left diesel truck engine a good one too this thread is a bit ray charles looking at coluor charts aint it
-
im having brick wall on finding an enthusiastic spanner wielder for this truck :jpshakehead:

you are about 200 miles and an MJ away from me helping you out chap
