What ratio is it and what model Commer did it come out of?

gday camma
not sure what model its from,I got it from c and r truck wreckers a coupla years ago, and it was sposed to fit my km (km has the really stupid clayton dewandre full air system on which the maxi brakes dont work and cant get bits for) ,but its too narrow.
I'll go down the shed in the morning and get the ratio.i'm pretty sure it,s either 5.6/1 or 5.57/1.

me again camma
just found some pix on computa.got a pic of the data plate,it's 5.57.
will attempt to put pix up,but I was born without patience, and images of 15 lb sledge hammers enter my mind when when doing this type of computa fiddling.

here's a go at a pic

can't believe i dunit.

Sparks,
Thanks for going through the trouble of going to find out the info for me. Greatly Appeciated.
Being Air operated 2 speed, it suggests it may come out of an earlier model truck.
I agree that issue with the Clayton Dewandre Park Brake. Yes NO AIR = NO BRAKES.
Solution: Fit 2 maxi brake chambers. For more info I know some one that has done it and I'll need to chat with him to source further requirements.

Cheers

hi camma
the commer axle came without a shifter.
the air shifter on it is one i pulled off a trashed eaton #4.
definitely interested in a solution to my km problem.
km has a hiab on it and i use it 3 or 4 times a week.I could do a lot more work with it if i could stop on even the slightest of inclines.
Ive got the workshop manual on those clayton de wandre boosters,and the engineer that designed them shoulda been shot.

Sparks,
I assume you have the Full Air option Brake Boosters. The Earlier Commer Full Air System was set up as a Full Air Service Brakes and Air Assisted Mechanical Lever Park Brake. The Later ones had a full air parking brake system.
I will find out more technical info and I will get back to you asap.
In the meantime, Ask for Fred Flinstone or Barney Rubble.

Regards
Camma
