Hi Whunter
This degree of contamination of course necessitates the overhaul or replacement of EVERY single component of the hydraulic system (brakes and self-leveling).This vehicle also needed repairs to the camshaft concentrics.This is another design detail of this engine I can only describe as "interesting".The bolting of the distributor drive gear onto the rear of the camshaft therefore making it necessary to remove either the transmission or the engine to remove it.Still R-R knows best! |

Hello Robert
Do you have further pictures of contamination?
I know you are aware that I am developing a hydraulic system seminar that could travel.
I am interested in your offer of pictures, for a slide show presentation, and possibly a hydraulic system seminar work book/guide.
Thank you.

YUK
was the system still working, if it was it shows how robust the design is.
That amount crud in a manual master cylinder would mean no brakes.
Us Shadow onwers panic so much about hyds and go to great lenghts to make sure that every thing so clean that we over kill.
Thank you for the dirty photo! |
