 |
|
Does anyone have an exploded view/picture of the handbrake adjustment mechanism for a pre 55 Oval.
My chassis came in bits and I have a bag of parts I have now cleaned up and want to fit as soon as I can.
Cheers
Michael

THese are the only pics and diagrams I've seen of the early long-pushrod style emergency brake setup:

You're in luck as it looks that almost everything is present. Finding some of those little pieces can easily drive you mad.
I said almost because you don't have the tiny split pin that goes on the very end of the push rod. But those can be bought at a hardware store for pennies. |

That's typical then as I've found another set in one of my boxes that's missing just one long bolt.

I hope you have the threaded pin still in the brake shaft, that's another piece not in the pic

Why exactly would they set it up like that? A rod goes all the way forward to pull the rear brakes?
Gotta love German engineering...

It was up there because it was where the cable-operated brakes on Standard models were adjusted. It took them a few years on Deluxes before they changed the design. From the KdF Wagen manual archived on TheSamba, this is a pic of the cable-operated layout.

Thanks glutamodo, I'd never seen a picture of a cable brake system before. I didn't realize that they all went forward before going to their respective wheels, but it makes sense.

| So is the handbrake pushrod the reason the 53/54 models had the heater knob behind the the handbrake? |

I'll try to post a photo of the area under the fuel tank of my '47. Without the master cylinder and brake hoses, that area looks so clean & empty. Just a pair of tie rods & a pair of cables, that's it. |

| Sorry to bring this post up again, but I have a metal plate that is bent on the upper and lower side as well as having a square hole in the middle. Where does this go? |

Does this plate have a small round hole on each side? If so than this is the plate that holds the ebrake pushrod spring in place and under tension.

Here is a pick of the two plates I am talking about. I have the plate that screws in to the framehead and these two in addition.

Thanks
That was basically what I thought, but I was unsure wether there should be something between the plates. Thanks a lot for the help. |
