Brake compensator leaking

Postby Paulo Polaroil » Sun Oct 13, 2019 6:22 pm

Hello guys, my rear brake compensator is leaking. My Transit failed at the french Contrôle Technique, which is like the M.O.T.
It looks like it is rebuildable, I mean, there is nothing that worns out apart from rubber and seals. It is not rusted at all. So, have you got any source of rebuilding kits ? Or Ill have to buy each seal and washer at a brake parts specialist ?

A nice picture of my van ( we had a NY 80's themed party last week-end :-) ) Click on the link, it's too large for the forum.

I'm not an egoist on older transit parts but I would guess that stripping it down and taking the seals to an engineering parts place would be more productive than searching around for genuine parts :( new old stock o rings etc :shock:

Your van looks great. I take it that it doesn't usually have the police stickers on it though. Also I love the sliding doors.
Hope you get your compensator sorted soon.

On the sixth day God created a Sprinter on the seventh he gave it away and bought a TRANSIT
