Just a update - issue solved with new felt washers properly installed.... The new "hub caps" were smoothed out a tad and some lite oil applied to help they slip on. A block of hood and 4# hammer to set them on square. then a rubber mallet was able to seat them all the way back. These were a...

Greetings - Breathers checked out good, this time I trimmed the felts down a tad so that they compressed well with the flat washer and made a tight seal. Rubber side out also done. Leaks (from there) are no more, yes there is still oil in it...... Thanks for the tips!

Been chasing EP90 leak from the felt washer on rear hubs (NAS 88" series 2a 1969) and have heard many different approaches to replacing these with a fresh set - any advise for the best chance of a leak free seal? Have heard to soak the new felt washers in oil to expand them up Have heard to...

Greetings We have some EP90 dripping out the rear axle dust cap, plan to check the breathers and clean / replace as needed. Question is, these seem to be a press fit and new ones are very tight. Any tricks for recommendations on best way to remove old stuck ones? And best way to install the...

Greetings; Planning to refresh the pedal springs soon (69 Series 2a NAS), have some parts on order. Two questions looking for advice on: 1 - for the accelerator pedal linkage, what lube is best? oil, grease or WD40 spray? 2 - is it possible to swap out the brake pedal springs from the pedal...

Aloha Any more reports or updates on using CV grease instead of EP90? I like the idea of it dripping less. Thanks! John G

Greetings - Tank issues resolved, just wanted to share the leak source. As suggested above (thanks!) the cork gasket on the draw line was leaking and allowing gas either sloshing around or if over-filled into the large bore fill pipe to have pressure to run out while it emptied down to that...

Thanks for the feedback, I inspected it some more and not sure if it is the seems and now suspect the sendor or feed gasket are the leak as suggested :-)..... Will park on a slope to help push the gas up (perhaps top off a tad too) and inspect again with the under seat plate off to see if that...

Greetings - (Series 2A 88 NAS 1969) Noted that when the tank got over filled, gas leaked from the top seam of the tank and under the truck perhaps 0.5 gal. I guess it did that until the gas in the filler drained down enough below the seam.... I think the vent in a closed system, so I dont...

I have been chasing some leaks now that it is raining again in California and the rail channel under the hood along the bulk head seems to dump its water inside vs a clear diversion to the ground. If that channel was a tad longer, water would not drop between the clutch and brake pedal boxes or...

Working Stop Lights !! - finally reliable stop lights, but I abandoned the OEM method and placed a new direct contact switch to the break pedal in the cabin. I used a Series (non servo plastic switch - 13H3735LG) - this one is OFF with plunger in, and ON when it is out. The OEM switch was...

Thanks for the instructions - I'll take if off to see how much dirt is in there :-) Cheers!

Greetings - New series owner - basic question - we wanted to pop off the breather to give it a clean, thought it was a press fit, and did not want to break anything, it seems well attached. There is a bolt on the side of the value cover under it, does that free it? It is on a late 2a, and has...

Thanks for the additional comments..... I have played around with the flap, and still have the issues of the brake lights working then not. Testing of the switch indicates that it is the fault as it acts up easily. I have tried contact lubricate in it also..... The switch by itself can act up...

I should mention, this is a series 2a with the servo assisted brake light switch under the hood. (drawing in Series 3 manual - 86.65.51, on page 86-32 (section 7). Cheers!

Greetings again - brake lights seem to work for a while then act up, Curious on the threaded holes noted above. The switch screws into a threaded hole which I though is the main adjustment (with a locking nut). That plate does have four small bolts that holds it in place, it appears to me they...

Good question - here is what I was doing, with the brake pedal not pushed, I would screw in the switch until the meter sound indicating it had made contact then back off 1/2 turn so the beep would go off and then tighten the lock nut. Then press the pedal to hear that when it was pressed the...

Greetings - the Brake light saga continues, works for a while then stops. It is not coming loose. Good news switch Intermoter 575166 is still good on the meter. I did note it can get hot when on for long periods - so thinking to switch to low current loop and insert a relay soon as suggested...

Hi - This is the one with the switch under the hood, next to the master cylinder...... There is less travel there, and I think it is harder to adjust. The quality of some replacement switches have been a problem. I bought 3 different ones, and two would fail intermittently out of the box on a...

Hi - does looks to be a feed short some where - spent this afternoon shinning up and cleaning the various contacts and ground barrel connections. Error still occurring. Reverse gear will light white and all running lights...... And turning on the running lights lights the four running lights...
