Auto Trivia

[VocalNeal]

On a car truck or heavy goods vehicle, how many types of braking systems can you quote. By that I mean as you put your foot on the pedal, between the pedal and the shoes or pads. .

I got 8.

Can you list them please. ( I might learn something )

[Ace of Pop]

Thelma Retarder,for one.

[Ace of Pop]

A Jake Brake that did something to the engine,but foreget what it did other than stop it

[Jitar]

Jake brakes release compression on the power stroke to increases engine braking, (and noise).

Jake brakes and retarders usually do not involve the brake pedal and pads or shoes though?

[transam]

Yeah, hes even overlooked my Colour answer. That Model was the only S to have it,

That was an option on 1275..........they were not ALL that colour..........

[transam]

Look at my engine bay. Obviously it is an American car and engine. How many items can you ''list'' that are not from or fabricated in the USA.

........

[NBD]

Hydraulic, air, cable, lever operated; inboard or outboard; disc or drum or that weird system with two discs rubbing together or something that was abandoned in 1903.

It's actually quite fun not using Wikipedia!

[VocalNeal]

Air

Vacuum assit.

Hydraulic

Cable

Electric retarder

Exhaust retarder

Disc

Technically inboard/outboard/propshaft is a location not a type.

I believe rod brakes were only ever used on bicycles but I've been wrong before...

The rod thing was in my reserve. Think it was an Austin something, had rods to the rear brakes, can't be sure but have seen it way back.

I had a Ford Prefect and early Popular both of which had rod brakes. - I think

Braking always pulled to one side or other - impossible to adjust properly.

Never had a Model A but come to think of it I did own a Model Y - that also had rod brakes

Just to clarify, I did not own any of these cars from new. They were all old bangers by the time I could afford one.

The head castings are stock, sourced from a 1968 vintage engine 10.5 to1 cr.
