Well today is the day. Now agreed that we (Noel and I) are getting nowhere seeking part numbers. It is time to put the bus in the workshop. More than happy for Noel to move it!
Access is, well awkward, so I have moved the mattress into the corridor, removed the cover from the through bin, and opened the floor hatch over the gearbox. Voila the clutch booster is accessible from the top. The airline is tight as... but while I slowly bleed the air from up top, Joel puts a jack under the tow bar and Noel starts to unbolt the booster.
Meanwhile Joel thinks it is the same as one he removed from a Nissan, and tracks it down under the bench. Twins, but with different suppliers labels and numbers. The Rhhino's is not a Hino part. And the old Nissan one is not usable...
Encouraged, both Noel and I are on the hunt now, confident it is a generic part. I find one I am confident will do the job - at Brett's Trucks, (from whom I got the water pump four odd years ago), but Noel has one ready to ship from someone else in Sydney. Probably miss todays courier... but should be here Thursday...
With the bus in the workshop and Noel naturally wanting to lock it up, we have taken a room around the corner at the Silver Bream Motel. Oh well, we have had four nights for nothing...
