AB's new GQ is finally here

[Rossco]

Any hose shop like Pertek will sell pneumatic hose fittings and air hose like that. That Brake Shaft was modified by Flamingfab and he welded a nut and made the end cap. I upgraded to a Gigglepin Brake shaft and gave AB my modified one. Lucky bloke.

Again the drum has been professionally modified with an inner roller Bearing installed to replace the nylon bush that Warn use. Makes a massive difference to the friction on the drum end. I bought it a couple of years ago and again gave it to AB as I have gone a Deltatek Air Freespool.

Haha Yes AB is a lucky bloke!! Might upgrade to a bearing end one day but not just yet, thought it might have been.
I took my shaft into an engineering shop near work but couldn't tap it because of the hardness. It does look neat with the little cap, might have a play around see what i can come up with. . .

It is a pretty basic mod mate, weld on a decent nut. Using a piece of water pipe cut the right length, weld an end plate on it. Make sure the pipe is cut the right length. ( long enough to hole the end on at the same depth that the circlip would normally, your replacing the circlip here)

Take out the bolt on the end of ABs brake shaft and it will be very clear to see. Put a couple of clamps on the brakes first though!!!!

[Rossco]

Yeah sweet sounds pretty simple, that's a good way of doing it. I'll check out AB's or just steal it when he isn't looking!!
