Brake system setup 109
G'day
Brads asked me to put these photos on, as he got confused when he was trying to explain when he spoke to you yesterday.
He hopes he's got it right, know doubt people will say if he hasn't.
Sorry if you have to stand on your heads to see the pictures.

Hi Brad & Jayne,
Yes, that looks fine - similar to the way I've done it on all our 109" vehicles
Oh, and I didn't think you were confused Brad - you described it exactly as your pictures now show
Cheers,
Robin.

Re: Brake system setup 109
It's hard to tell, but am I right in thinking that the bleed screw is at the top of the back plate? Does that help with bleeding?

Re: Brake system setup 109
Yep, that's the idea.
I posted pictures ages ago and Brad was going from memory, I think.
Here are my pictures:
Slightly different layout to Brad's, but the same effect.
Oh, and mine aren't painted

Re: Brake system setup 109
Interesting. Thanks for the pictures Robin. I'll have to take a look at that for my next go-round with the brakes.
Regards,
Ian

Re: Brake system setup 109
G'day Robin, i am pleased you don't think i was confused so it pleases me to think i don't always come across as being in my own little dream world thanks to landrovers and my way of life but in my case although i haven't had problems like others with bleeding the bending down on my knee's to make sure i had the pipe on properly and remembering to put the ring spanner on while bleeding the old fashion way .
AS you will have guessed it is the getting up and down off the floor then remembering what i had got up for which i should have got used to but i don't like to be beaten and have to find ways to make it easier and a tad quicker so my memory doen't have time to fad .
Regards the painting of parts as i go along also helps me remember where i have got to although the paint looks like it has just been applied by a brush any old how it's only because i don't blast clean anything just decrease scrape it sand paper then the painting begins the way of the Romanies and there caravans from years gone by.
Thanks anyway for your reply but for some reason confidence is one thing i lack so any positive feed back always helps me anyway .
As for the week end days like that help me in more ways than one and i have moved forward in a big way in what and how much i have got done since we last met and is a lot more than a few steps to being back on the road with my little petrol at least
Catch you later. The soon to be Romany Rose again .

Re: Brake system setup 109
mine has the bleed nipple at the bottom but from what I hear on the other forums if you do it so the bleed nipple is at the top it makes bleeding them a lot easier
Re: Brake system setup 109
Never had a problem bleeding with the nipple a the bottom myself, but I know many have! The pedal on the Carawagon isn't as good as I'd like but the problem seems to be in the rear axle
