Thanks LTCamper89 :-) (LT35 Brake Pressure Regulator Valve leaking) Yes I have a habit of searching old forum posts rather than waiting for replies! After a few more forum searches, have sent it to PastParts.co.uk for refurb in Bury St Edmunds UK, £80 +VAT, with 5-10 day turnaround. They've done a few of these for LTs in recent months. They refurb brake & clutch parts (particularly cylinders like this thing), they're also making me front flexi hoses as my mechanic had trouble sourcing those for MOT too. Thanks for your help! |

You need a new mechanic if he cannot find flexi pipes.

You will need to do what Volition82 has already done. His solution worked perfectly.

thanks for this, it all sounds very technical.ive been looking at a similar soloution using a regulator off a L200 pickup as it looks quite close to the lt althought the mounting points are on the opposite side but i can deal with that. i do wonder just how vital the spring rate is on these old vans giving that 90% of them probably havent worked for years.
be interested to know what regulator he used. |

There is one valve, two levers and ten springs which cover all models from 1975 to 1997. Although they were colour-coded, I doubt you will be able to see what you have.

Hope you pick this up from such an old post.
But can I have the details of the chap in Germany that refurbishes the brake regulators? Thanks Ollie |

hi ollie. i didnt use him in the end, i sent mine off to a company called past parts who did an amazing job but were unable to get it to me before my trip so i bit the bullet and bought the unimog valve which is identical apart from the spring which is much heavier duty, we switched it with the existing one and its been fine. the plus side to this is i have a fully recondidtioned valve up for grabs, it even had a new internal piston machined as the original one was knackered. try them, if not this is available for £250.00 (unimog one was £390 i think) hope this helps. cheers hugh

Just for info it is possible to determine the spring rate given the following;
Diameter of the wire used Overall diameter of the spring Number of active coils (coils that don't touch) Constant for the spring material (Usually the same) There is an online calculator thingy that will do it for you. (i'l try to find it and add a link later) Hope this may help someone who has a regulator of unknown load It is also possible to increase the rate of a spring by cutting coils out and making up the gap with a spacer if you're really desperate! Hope this may be of use to someone. Cheers Glenn

Hi Hugh
Past parts were unable to fix the compensation valve. Do you still have yours for sale? Thanks Ollie |

This may be a bit late, but Arek had a few compensators re-manufactured a while back. Worth a shout.

If anyone is interested I will have new unused Unimog regulators for sale at around 250 each + P&P. You will need to use your original spring and remove the lever from the old regulator and fit it onto the new one. Also you will need to change the brake pipe lines to the regulator or use an adaptor. The LT uses a bubble flare with M10 nut whereas the new reg for Unimog uses a double inverted flare with M12 nut. A bubble flare is only meant to be used once and wlll not reliably seal if used agan so an adapter may not give adequate sealing so it's prbably better to change out the lines and nuts instead. PM me for contact details.
