Brake parts

[jsfbond]

And sometimes I do.....Break parts.
Is this brake valve available? or just the switch?

Other than on ebay, etc., pretty hard to source the valves. They can be rebuilt easily enough.

Which part did you break?

According to the Canley website, your switch should be the same as the TR6 switch
(Stanpart 149971). Roadster Factory has it listed on sale (so probably in stock) but it's a bit expensive ($60 even on sale).
Legend has it that a Ford C8AZ-2B264-A will fit and work, but I've not tried it myself.

The one without any number associated with it. the housing is...not looking good.

Original Stanpart number for the valve assembly was 215104; which was superceded by RTC2525.

Apparently Rimmers has them:

Again, just the switch w/o the body. But the Ford switch is the same (I have one).

How is it that the the ford unit is advertised @ $18.99, and the triumph one through VB is $59.95??????? I just called the local Ford garage and was quoted $26.91... if its the same,same.

The Ford part is # 1 above. Is that what you broke?
You said you broke the housing, the 4 port deal.
Is this correct and how can you break it?

Not quite same-same; the Ford part looks different (at least in the photo I saw). So in one case you are paying for a limited run reproduction of an obsolete part; while the other is a high production functional equivalent.

Now look up what the Ford PDWA costs, compared to what Rimmers gets for the Triumph part ...

not sure of the methode used to remove the remnants of that part, from the threads from the housing years ago.
