I tried to source some replacement drums a year or so ago and came up empty. I ended up taking the drums to Darbys brake and clutch in Melbourne where they were machined oversize. They then made up oversize shoes to suit. Very good job and I am back to having a pedal that doesn't need pumping before using.
Maybe talk to your local brake place if you can't find any replacements.
Also I discovered that you can get some specially cast but that was about $1400 a pair.
Hope this helps.

I am going to borrow a pressure cleaner and really hit it hard with degreaser. As I am going to be replacing bushes, I will take everything off and wire brush it too. once I have removed all that gunk and hence lightened it by half a ton!!! I will repaint everything.
this could take a couple of weeks though.
thanks again
Steve

Thanks Warren.
The motor is fitter to a 4 speed, non synchro box which was probably OEM. apparently it was a 4 cylinder and first a 161 was put in. That probably explains the location.
So where can I get parts for it? do you know of a wreckers who do bedfords?

Rear suspension
I talked to my dad who originally bought the chassis during the late 70's I think.
He said it is a CFL 3500 weight. I don't know if that is any assistance.
I will try to take more pics of the chassis once I get it up on better stands.

I am hopefully going to get it up on jack stands this weekend to start running break lines and wires. I will definitely get some chassis pics. Is there anything in particular I should try to get?
thanks again
Steve

The van is a full coach built unit like a Winnebago.
the front suspension is independent wishbones
the chassis is a one piece item and is stand alone.
I live in South Morang but I will travel to wherever I need to go for parts.
thanks for the help Warren. Pics will be posted shortly.
Steve.

Hi
I need to do brakes and suspension.
The brakes need total overhauling including drums.
the suspension needs all the rubbers replaced and I want to add a sway bar front and back to level it up a touch through cornering.
power steering would also be nice if it is available.
where can I get parts from?
is there a list of suppliers?
What about wreckers?
I am in Melbourne
Thanks
Steve

Hi all.
I am so glad I found this forum, I finally might be able to get some info!
I own a mobile home which was a full chassis up custom. I know it was built on a Bedford chassis.
I even think that it is a cf (S???) does 3500 sound normal!
it has dual rear wheels and is fitted with a Holden red 202 which is a little modified. And all wheel drum brakes.
I haven't posted any pics yet, just imagine a brick, a VERY big brick 6m long 2.5 wide (overhang everywhere)
I am in the middle of refurbishing it and need to find wreckers, parts suppliers somewhere around Melbourne.
regards
Steve
