Re: Cross reference for front flexible brake lines?

John, spectacular info!

A friend has promised that I can have his parts book, as he no longer has a Haflinger. I just need to connect with him to collect it.

The info about the bearing preload is well noted. Thanks!

Re: Cross reference for front flexible brake lines?

Wow, thanks for the very articulate instructions! Sounds like I need to order some seals, and get to work.

Re: Cross reference for front flexible brake lines?

Hi John, Thanks for the advice. As part of my work to make sure that the brakes did not drag, I cleaned everything thoroughly. It is definitely gear lube, and it is coming out right behind the hub flange (it leaks into the drum, right into the ridge in the drum that has the weep holes, almost like t...

Re: Cross reference for front flexible brake lines?

Hey Jim, Thanks. I remember seeing them in the past, but not lately. I think I may have solved the problem. I just cleaned everything well, and bled through new fluid. Seems to be working well. I did find a gear fluid leak in the pasenger side front stub axel. So that will need looking at. Not quite...

Re: Cross reference for front flexible brake lines?

Thanks for your help! I was definitely planning to change them all out. I already found the shorter rear lines at the local auto parts store (for only $15 each!). Unfortunately, most of the local stores here, are of very little help unless you have a valid part number. The Haflinger was originally s...

Cross reference for front flexible brake lines?

Just starting some projects on my new to me 1969 Canadian spec Bugeye. The first item on the hit list are the front brakes, as they have begun to drag. I have not dug in yet, but I am assuming that the front brake lines have expanded internally creating a check valve effect. Is there a cross referen...

Re: Haflingertreffen Nordamerika 2014

I have never posted here before, but I am in the (slow) process of importing a 69' Canadian spec Haflinger from Montreal. Currently, it is on a transcontinental train ride to Vancouver, B.C. The timing may work out perfectly to have it in time to bring it down to the farm for this event. Either way,...
