VocalNeal Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBD Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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.

Daffy D Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
