Good day folks,
I have been directed here by someone on one of the Newell Facebook groups who has told me you are all lovely and helpful people
I have been assisting with the recommissioning of coach #172. As far as I know it sat for quite a few years before being purchased by its current owner. The engine (8v92) was then pulled (unsympathetically, with a digger I believe) for a full rebuild, during which all the cut tails of hoses and wires were disconnected and discarded by the rebuilders. We’ve managed to get nearly everything reconnected and replumbed now, starts, runs, builds air, brakes work, levelling works, stops all as it should, but we appear to be missing a few pieces, where or when they were lost we do not know.
Would anyone here be able to advise on the hydraulic pump for the steering, we have two lines, one running forward I believe, the other from the reservoir but no pump, just what appears to be a fresh blanking plate fitted to the back (front I guess) of the engine.
Secondly, I believe there should be some form of oil pressure manifold on the passenger side frame rail in the engine bay, this has also been removed and is missing. Would anybody be able to advise on the senders/switches that were fitted to this rail, and where on the engine it would have been plumbed to, so that we can recreate the manifold and have a full set of working gauges and safety systems again.
Many thanks in advance, Jay (in the U.K btw, where knowledge and parts of older heavy diesels are slim pickings)[amoff][/amoff]
