My dad has been having some problems with the brakes on his 1980 Coachmen RV. It's been sitting idle for 2 years due to ill health. Now he is feeling better, he asked me to see if I can fix the brakes for him. I discovered a corroded brake fluid line on the rear axle. So we replaced that.The rear fluid resevoir on the master cylinder was empty when I took off the lid. So I filled that and pumped the fluid through (with a syringe type brake bleeding kit) but couldnt get much pressure on the back line when pumping the brake pedal. I'm thinking the resevoir may have been dry for at least a year. So with that I recon the O rings have dried up and perished. The remaining brake lines are ok, no leaks, but they do have surface rust so the plan is to replace the lot for safety sake. I need to repair the Master cylinder first...
Problem is we're living in Ireland and GMC aint so common over here, so I could do with some recomendations on suppliers who deal in parts for older american vehicles...?
Its a standard 1980 GMC 2 door van "cab & chassis" ("Vandura35" badge on the front fenders). It has a coachmen leprechaun body.
Similarly known as a 1 ton GMC or a "full size van" I'm led to believe....
Can anyone help me out?
